For optimum viewing satisfaction, follow these simple procedures. Nomenclature used to describe components and
controls can be identified by referring to the diagram at left.
UNPACKING
The microscope and accessories have been carefully packed to assure they reach you in the best possible condition.
Examine packing material before you discard it. Retain the styrofoam container in case you need to transport, store,
or return the microscope for service. If it becomes necessary to ship the microscope for any reason, pack it in the
styrofoam container, and then pack the styrofoam in another corrugated shipping container for optimum protection. Use of
the styrofoam alone will not provide adequate protection in transit, and will void your warranty.
Always handle and move microscope by securely holding the arm of microscope. Avoid touching any of the lens surfaces
while handling the microscope. Dust, dirt, or fingerprints can damage the delicate lens surfaces or adversely affect image
quality.
Model 215-RLED: Stand with head, two WF10x eyepieces, 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x objectives, condenser, recharger,
specimen holder, dustcover, 2mm "L" hex wrench (for rack stop adjustment), 0.90mm "L" hex key wrench (Lamp
Replacement).
DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
1. EYEPIECES (ocular lens) Lens closest to the eye, magnifies the primary image formed by the objective lens. One
eyepiece is equipped with a "pointer" that rotates as the eyepiece is turned and one eyepiece without pointer.
2. OBJECTIVE TURRET (nosepiece) Revolving turret which holds objective lenses, permits changes of magnification by
rotating different powered objective lenses into optical path.
3. OBJECTIVE LENS
4. MECHANICAL STAGE
5. STAGE
Platform of the microscope where the specimen slide is placed.
6. CONDENSER LENS
substage illumination and fills the back lens element of objective lens to improve image resolution.
7. IRIS DIAPHRAGM
lens. Larger apertures used for higher magnifications, and smaller apertures used for lower magnifications. Iris is
protected by a frosted glass covering.
8. FILTER HOLDER
be removed from optical path when using 40x and 100x objective lens.
9. SAFETY RACK STOP
objectives from breaking specimen slides, prevents damage to objective lenses. This stop has been pre-adjusted at
the factory.
10. FOCUSING KNOBS
on each side of arm. Raise or lower stage to bring specimen into focus.
11. ILLUMINATION
Built-in substage electric LED illuminator provides constant, reliable, pre-focusing illumination equal
to a 20 watt tungsten bulb. Powered by 3 rechargeable AA nickel metal hydride batteries, no power outlet or electrical
cord are needed.
Lens closest to the object being viewed, forms first magnified image of the specimen.
Permits precise, mechanical manipulation of the specimen slide.
1.25 N.A. Abbe condenser lens positioned under center of stage, condenses light rays from
Iris opening is controlled by lever, designed to help achieve optimum resolution of the objective
Attached to bottom of iris diaphragm with swing out built in neutral filter. Swing out filter should
When properly adjusted, controls maximum upward travel of stage. Prevents higher power
Coaxial focusing system combines both the coarse and fine focus knobs on same shaft located
