    1. INTRODUCTION The Motic SMZ-161 series stereomicroscopes are high performance Greenough design stereomicroscopes with continuous zoom ranges of 6:1. The microscopes in this series allow continuous variable magnification between 7.5X - 45X, while total magnification varies from 2.25X to 180X depending on the eyepieces and auxiliary objectives used. With the bilateral zoom knobs, users are able to adjust magnification while the microscope remains perfectly parfocal.

    3. MICROSCOPE ALIGNMENT AND OPERATION 3.1 Interpupillary Distance Adjust the two eyepiece tubes until only one circular field can be seen through the two eyepieces. If two separate circles appear, the interpupillary distance is too large; if two overlapping circles appear, the interpupillary distance is too small.

    3.3.3 Working distance varies from 301mm (when using a 0.3X objective lens) to 38.6mm (when a 2X objective lens is used). Normal working distance for standard configuration (1X objective lens) is 110mm. 3.4 Changing the Bulb 3.4.1 Before changing the light bulb, make sure that the power is switched off and the power cord has been disconnected from the main power supply.

    5. CLEANING AND CARING FOR THE MICROSCOPE To keep the microscope in good working order, avoid dust and water. If any dust or water happens to get into the microscope, fungus will grow, damaging the microscope. Please note that once fungus has grown, even after cleaning, the problem may reoccur.
  • Page 15: Moving The Microscope

    Under no circumstances should users clean any lens surface with a dry cotton swab, dry cloth or dry lens paper as this will scratch the lens surface causing irreparable damage. Water is not recommended for cleaning lenses as it will leave water stains on the lens surface, possibly leading to fungus growth and causing irreparable damage.
