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.
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.
(or the suer’s preferred zoom setting). Then observe the image on the monitor. If necessary, adjust the video camera focus setting located on the SZ-CTV unit to achieve a crisp image. Issue number 1.0 X:\Current User Manuals\SO-111-R-RF User Manual v1.0.doc...

With the exception of the anti-mould pellet, no parts inside the optical head of the instrument can be serviced by the user. Attempts to dismantle the optical head or prism cover will make any warranty void. Issue number 1.0 X:\Current User Manuals\SO-111-R-RF User Manual v1.0.doc...
Hold the large gear in one hand while unscrewing the knob out to decrease the friction. Lock the grubscrews and check for the desired friction setting. Replace the focus drive cover.

Page 18 of 22 MOULD PELLET REPLACEMENT Scan Optics microscopes are fitted with mould protection which lasts for approximately 3 years, however, this is dependent on the storage conditions and humidity of the local environment. In extreme tropical climates, it may be necessary to change the mould protection as frequently as every year.
