® STEINDORFF This instruction manual is for NYMC-356 LCD digital Zoom Stereo Microscope, Please read the instruction manual carefully before using, proper modification can be made without notice. Please contact manufacturer if something unclear or incorrect is found. ...
® STEINDORFF 1.2. Characteristic 1.2.1. Destaticization: stand, zoom tube, 10×eyepiece and auxiliary objective are all equipped with destaticization. It is very helpful for users to observe the specimen with static (such as semiconductor chip). When use this function, please connect the microscope to the ground through the joggle on the back of the stand.
® STEINDORFF 4. Assembly 4.1. Assembly of the stage Place the stand on a stable table, insert the stage into the base, and tighten the fixing screw with wrench (small) attached at the back of the stand. 4.2. Lifting of the Focus Arm The focus arm can be adjusted according to your special demands.

® STEINDORFF 4.6. Image recording digital camera. To satisfy your special requirements, different interfaces are supplied for your choosing, and this will make your operation and observation more convenient. 4.6.1. Assembly of 0.4x reduce lens and the digital camera Take away the dust-cover of the trinocular, insert one end of the 0.4x reduce lens into the digital camera and tighten it.
® STEINDORFF 5. Operation 5.1. Preparation 5.1.1. Illumination Insert the power supply source into the socket of the transmitted base, connect the power supply source and turn on the switch. Adjust the brightness. It is not necessary to adjust the brightness to the strongest as this will reduce the life of the bulb.

Working Distance is the distance between focus plane and zoom head. The W.D for the NYMCS-356 series zoom stereo microscope is 115mm. Set the distance between the bottom of the zoom tube and specimen at 115mm, and this will be helpful to focus.
® STEINDORFF 5.2.3. Magnification Turn the zoom knob on both sides of the zoom tube to change the magnification of the specimen. Total Magnification Zoom knob on right has the indication of the zooming magnification. Total magnification can be calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the zoom body magnification.

® STEINDORFF 6.3.2. Install LED circuit illumination Insert the fixing screw into the groove of the zoom body and tighten it. Locking Screw Knob 7. Troubleshooting The function of microscope will not work efficiently for the unfamiliar using. Check the table below if meet some troubles, then take proper action.
® STEINDORFF 8. Maintenance 8.1. Working Environment Temperature range is 0°C-40°C and the max. Humidity is 85%. Avoid high temperature and humidification. Do not expose the microscope in the sun directly. Place microscope on a stable table and keep it in balance. Avoid violent vibration.
® STEINDORFF TABLET DIGITAL CAMERA PART The tablet digital camera is equipped with 5MP color COMS sensor and 9.7inches tablet, it is developed specifically for microscopy applications. Along with Android 4.2 operating system, it runs smoothly and the user experience is fantastic. It comes with C-mount, can be attached to the trinocular head of the microscope.

® STEINDORFF 3.4. Measurement 3.4.1. Calibration We need calibrate the ruler before measurement, Specific combination of magnification of microscope and the preview size of camera need specific calibration. Swap the tool pane to measurement, Click “Add” to add a new calibration, Click “Edit” to recalibrate the exist calibration.
Page 21
® STEINDORFF Follow these Tips: Drag the yellow ruler, let endpoints of the ruler close to physical ruler’s scale. 3.4.1.1. We use the 0.01mm physical ruler, each big grid is 10μm, and we pick three grids, that’s 30μm. 3.4.1.2. Input the name of the calibration and the physical length of the ruler. We input 10x_640x480 for the name, that means the magnification of objective is 10x, and the preview size of camera is 640 x 480.
