BestScope International Limited BS-2044 Series 2-2-4 Assemble light source 1. Align the oriented pin① and power pin② on the light source to oriented holder③ and power socket④, and then push light source into arm smoothly and plug it thoroughly (see Fig. 7).
BestScope International Limited 3. Operation BS-2044 Series 3-1 Set Illumination 1. Put through the power and turn on the main power switch to“—”. 2. Adjust the light adjustment knob① until the illumination is comfortable for observation. Rotate the light adjustment knob clockwise to raise the voltage and brightness.
BestScope International Limited BS-2044 Series 3-4 Adjust the Focusing Tension If the handle is very heavy when focusing or the specimen leaves the focus plane after focusing or the stage declines itself, please adjust the tension adjustment ring① (see Fig. 12).
BestScope International Limited BS-2044 Series 3-7 Center the Condenser 1. Rotate the condenser up-down knob① to raise it to the highest position (see Fig. 16). 2. Rotate the objective 10X to the light path and focus the specimen. 3. Rotate the field diaphragm adjustment ring②...
BestScope International Limited BS-2044 Series 3-9 Adjust the Aperture Diaphragm 1. The aperture diaphragm decides the numerical aperture of the illumination. Only when the N.A. of illumination is matching with the N.A. of the objective, it can obtain better resolution and contrast, and also increase the depth of field.
BestScope International Limited BS-2044 Series 3-11 Use the Filter Filter can make the background more suitable and increase the contrast (see Fig. 21). ★ There are three kinds of filter: blue, green and yellow. ★ Place the filter’s rough side downward.
