Page 4: Assembling The Microscope
ASSEMBLING THE MICROSCOPE Objectives Lower the stage completely. Screw the objectives into the revolving nosepiece so that each clockwise rotation brings the next highest magni cation objective into position. Eyepieces Use the same magni cation eyepieces for both eyetubes. Remove the eyetube cover caps and discard. Insert eyepieces into eyetubes. - Page 5 GETTING STARTED 2. Placing the Specimen Slide Push the silver nger of the specimen holder away from you (1). Place the specimen slide (2) against the other side of the specimen holder while holding the nger open. Once slide is placed properly with the cover glass facing upward you can release the silver nger so that the slide remains clamped.
- Page 6 Adjusting the aperture diaphragm and condenser The aperture diaphragm decides the numerical aperture (N.A.) of the illumination system. If the N.A. of the illumination system matches with the NA of the objective, it can obtain better resolution and contrast and increase the depth of eld. You can adjust the condenser adjustment knob by turning it towards you.
