  • Page 12: Lamp Replacement

    Page 12 of 22 LAMPHOUSE AND LAMP The lamp house on the SO-111-R ophthalmic microscope produces a coaxial light that provides a red fundus reflex from the back of the eye. The intensity of the light may be controlled from the top panel of the power supply. The lamp supplied has a rated average life of 50 hours, but the actual life of the lamp will depend on the intensity setting normally used.
  • Page 13: Using The Foot Control (So-111-Rf Only)

    The central pedal is disabled in this model. The focus knob may still be used to focus the microscope manually. However, Scan Optics recommends that the foot control be disconnected if this method is used in preference. This will prevent any accidental motor-driven movement that may counteract the manual focusing action.
