OPERATION
NOTE: For stereo microscope assembly and operation, please refer to the manual that accompanied
your stereo microscope.
1. Place a specimen on the center of the stage plate.
2. Turn on the power switch, and then adjust intensity by turning the knob on the control box.
3. Ensure the eyepiece diopters are set properly (according to the instructions that accompanied
your stereo microscope).
4. Adjust the tension of the focus knobs if necessary. To adjust tension, grasp both focus knobs
and rotate in opposite directions until the desired tension is reached. Turning the right focus knob
clockwise and the left focus knob counterclockwise will increase tension.
5. Adjust the mirror for specimen viewing. The DS-360 is equipped with a two-sided mirror – one
side is a polished mirror and the other side has a silver metallic (frosted) surface. While looking
through the eyepieces and with the specimen in focus, slowly adjust the mirror angle using the
mirror adjustment knob on the right side of the base. Try both sides of the mirror and choose the
view and contrast that is most suitable for your sample. You may need to adjust the mirror angle
if you change magnification or zoom on your microscope.
