About the Digital Microscope
Your new digital microscope incorporates a built in camera that utilizes ultra high-speed data transmission made possible
through a simple plug and play USB 2.0 cable. In order to achieve optimum results, it is important that you carefully read
both this and the software instructions located on Motic disc before operating your microscope or camera.
UNPACKING
1. Your microscope is packed with the following components, all of which have been checked at the factory. Carefully
remove all components and check against this list. Retain the styrofoam container in case microscope must be
transported or returned to factory for any reason.
A. Microscope, with WF10x eyepiece, four objective lenses (DC4-212) three objective lenses (DC4-211), 1.25 N.A.
Abbe condenser, and specimen holder already installed.
B. CD Motic Images software (instructions for software on disc)
C. Calibration slide
D. USB 2.0 cable (for connecting to computer)
E. 2mm "L" type key wrench (for rack stop adjustment)
F. 0.9mm "L" type key wrench (for tension adjustment collar)
G. Dustcover
2. Retain Styrofoam container in case microscope must be transported or returned to factory for any reason. If it
becomes necessary to ship the microscope for any reason, repack it in the styrofoam container, and then pack the
styrofoam in another corrugated shipping container for optimum protection. Use of the styrofoam alone will not
provide adequate protection in transit, and will void your warranty.
DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
1. LED INDICATOR LIGHT: Indicates if camera is on, power supplied by USB.
2. EYEPIECE (ocular lens): Lens closest to the eye, magnifies the primary image formed by the objective lens.
3. OBJECTIVE TURRET (nosepiece): Revolving turret which holds objective lenses, permits changes of magnification
by rotating different powered objective lenses into optical path. Reverse position permits easier access to stage when
positioning specimen slides.
4. OBJECTIVE LENS: Lens closest to the object being viewed, forms first magnified image of the specimen.
5. MECHANICAL SPECIMEN HOLDER: Permits precise, mechanical manipulation of the specimen slide.
6. STAGE: Platform of the microscope where the specimen slide is placed.
7. CONDENSER: A 1.25 N. A. Abbe condenser lens positioned under center of stage, condenses light rays from
substage illumination and fills the back lens element of objective lens to improve image resolution.
8. IRIS DIAPHRAGM: Attached to bottom of Abbe condenser, controls aperture of light by moving control lever left or
right.
9. SWING OUT FILTER HOLDER: Contains frosted filter – diffuses LED light
10. SAFETY RACK STOP: When properly adjusted, controls maximum upward travel of stage. Prevents higher power
objectives from breaking specimen slides, prevents damage to objective lenses. This stop has been pre-adjusted at
the factory.
11. FOCUSING KNOBS: Coarse focusing knobs (larger knobs) located on each side of arm, raise or lower stage to bring
specimen image into focus. Fine focus knobs (smaller knobs located just below coarse focusing knobs) permit more
precise image adjustment.
12. ILLUMINATION: Built-in substage electric illuminator provides constant, reliable pre-focused illumination.
