2. Components To make it easier to identify the sub-parts of the microscope, the Seiler Microscopes Evolution Zoom is divided into modules, as shown in the figure below: Modules STRUCTURAL The mechanical module, with structural function, consists of Column (I) and Pantographic Arm (IV). ILLUMINATION: Joined to the Pantographic Arm (IV) is the Illumination Box (III), which generates light. The light is supplied to the working area by means of an Optical Fiber Cable to the microscope’s Optical Assembly (VII), which is made up of a...

Zoom Optical Module with 200º Inclinable Binocular Head (Standard Binocular Head) In this configuration the two knobs on the sides of the Optical Module can be assembled in six different positions, in accordance with user preference. To do this, unscrew the nut that fastens the knob to the body, remove it, change its position and fasten it in place again.
The Seiler Microscopes Evolution Zoom is placed in boxes to protect it during transportation. Check the boxes for damage or signs of violation: contact Seiler immediately in the event of any irregularity. The Seiler Microscopes Evolution Zoom should ideally be transported in its original packaging. We recommend that said packag- ing be kept in case it is required in the future.
Please note: the greatest care should be taken when handling modules II, III and IV, COLUMN, CONTROL BOX AND PANTOGRAPHIC ARM since module III are finished with an outer coating consisting of injected layers which Please note: the greatest care should be taken when handling modules II, III and IV, since module III are finished with have no structural function. Any sharp impact on one of these layers may result in an outer coating consisting of injected layers which have no structural function.
Please note: The Optical Module is the most delicate of the Modules. Please take care when assembling, using and transporting the module. This Module is assembled to the OPTICAL MODULE Optical Module Support. Please note: The Optical Module is the most delicate of the Modules. Please take care when assembling, using and transporting the module.
Please note: Please take care when connecting the cables as the connector pins are ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS fragile. When it is necessary to use a transformer, it is recommended to use one that is insulated. Please note: Please take care when connecting the cables as the connector pins are fragile.

The Optical Module of the Microscopes Evolution Zoom can be turned to left or right. It can be made by loosing the Optical Module Right/Left Rotation System Fixing Knob, positioning the module as desired and tighten again this knob. The Optical Module can also be turned to back and front position by loosing the Optical Module Forward/Back- ward Movement Fixing Knob, adjusting its position and tighten it again. These knobs can be left slightly tightened in order to allow the Optical Module to rotate, but not freely.

• Please note: there is a spring inside the Pantographic Arm to ensure that it moves smoothly and accurately; the spring’s tension is not preset at the factory, because its tension needs to be slackened during transport. It must therefore be adjusted using the Spring Adjustment Knob. Where new accessories are added to the Optical Module, increasing the weight to be balanced by the Pantographic Arm, the Spring Adjustment Knob should be turned anti-clockwise. Pay attention to any possible involuntary downward movement of the set when increasing the weight by adding accessories. Ideal setting: when moved upwards or downwards, the Pantographic Arm remains in the new position without having to tighten the Locking Knob of the Pantographic Arm Joint.
SWITCHING ON THE UNIT • Connect the Power Supply Cable to the Electrical Panel’s AC Cable Connector and to grounded electrical socket; • Press the Main On/Off Switch located on the Control Box; • Adjust the illumination brightness by turning the Illumination Brightness Adjustment Button located on the Control Box; • The Pedal can be used to control the Zoom and Microfocus. Please note: the Pedal electrical circuit is not completely sealed (waterproof); avoid spilling water directly onto it and protect it when cleaning the area where the unit is installed, hanging it by its Transport Handle from the Pedal Handle attached to the Column. –...

ADJUSTING THE FOCUS, DIOPTERS AND INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE • Center the Microfocus System, press the Microfocus Centering Button; • Loosen the Locking Knob of the Pantographic Arm Joint, then position the microscope Optical Module at a distance from the working area which is roughly the same focal distance from the objective lens in use and retighten it lightly if required; • The fine focus adjustment is made using the microfocus adjustment pedal on the Pedal; • On the Control Panel there are two red indicator lights, which correspond to the microfocus function. These light up during adjustment, indicating the direction of the movement. When the microfocusing end-of-range is reached, a beep is emitted when the pedal is pushed down. When the microfocus is at its end-of-range, the indicator light remains lit up; • For an extra-fine focus adjustment, you may select the maximum possible magnification of the Optical Module and find the best possible focus using the microfocus system. This will mean that, for increases to other controls, the focus will already be at its optimum;...
USING THE XY SYSTEM (OPTIONAL) • The XY system can be moved using the Foot Stick. • Just as with the microfocus function, light indicators show the direction of movement and a beep is emitted when the end-of-range is reached; • To center the two shafts at the same time, press the Center button located between the four XY light indicators. – 19 –...
