In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly take the infection prevention measures. The desktop should be a level surface with an inclination of less than 3°, and the load to the microscope should be less than 7 kg. The microscope may become unstable when certain intermediate attachment and/or photography unit are mounted on it.
3. OPERATING CONDITION ● As long as the device is in its original package it can be exposed to the following environmental conditions for up to 15 weeks for shipping and storage without risk of damage: ● Temperature range: from -40°C to +70°C; a.
5. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE ● To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower and wipe gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze). If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze slightly moistened with commercially available absolute alcohol.
6. STANDARD COMPONENTS Standard composition of stereomicroscope is as following. ● Zoom Microscope body (HSZ700.1) ● Observation tube (HSZ700.2) ● Stand (HSZ700.8 or HSZ700.9) ● Objective Lens (HSZ700.5A or HSZ700.7A) ● Eyepiece A WARNING If the light illumination of the stand is not working, please check the power code, the switch, and fuses. If you cannot solve the problem, please contact the local distributor in your province or country at first: Only HSZ700.9 A WARNING...
8. OBSERVATION PROCEDURE ● If you have not assembled the microscope yet, please read “Chapter 12.Assembly". 8.1 Preparation ● Confirm the mounting, particularly that of the observation tube ● Adjust the rotation tension of the focus adjustment knob ● Prepare the light source as required. 8.2 Procedure ●...
9. OPERATION 9.1 Stand 9.1.1 Using the Stage ● When reflected light illumination is used, the stage plate can be placed either the white or black surface facing up depending on the specimen. ● When transmitted light illumination is used, use the transparent glass stage plate. 9.1.2 Adjusting the Focus Adjustment Knob Tension (Fig.1) CAUTION This operation is intended to facilitate the rotation of the knobs while preventing spontaneous drop of the...
Observation Tube 9.2.1 Adjusting the interpupillary Distance (Fig. 2) CAUTION Always hold the eyepiece sleeves with both hands when adjusting the interpupillary distance. While holding the left and right eyepiece sleeves with both hands, look through the eyepieces and adjust for binocular vision until the left and right fields of view coincide completely. (Fig.

NOTE Set the zoom adjustment knob for the highest magnification again and check the image focusing. The diopter adjustment is complete if the image in accurate focus. If not, repeat steps 3 to 5 above. [Eyepieces with eyepiece micrometer disk] ●...
NOTE Diopter scale of the 10X eyepieces The valid range of the diopter scale is between -8 and +5 but a slight margin is added to it. Therefore, the diopter value may exceed +5 or -8 when it is adjusted to the maximum. In this case, whether the diopter value is over -8 or under +5 can be identified by the length of the eyepiece.
9.2.4 Using an Eyepiece Micrometer Disk (Fig.5) ● Rotate the disk-mounting ring of the eyepiece counterclockwise to remove. ● Prepare an eyepiece micrometer disk, remove dust and dirt from its surface, and fit it into the disk-mounting ring so that the engraving on the micrometer disk faces downward. ●...
9.3 Microscope Body 9.3.1 Zoom Magnification Indication (Fig.7) The body zoom magnification is indicated on zoom adjustment knob (right). The total magnification can be calculated with the following formula. 9.3.2 Switching the Click Stop ON-OFF (Fig.7) NOTE The click stop function provides a click stop for each zoom magnification value indicated on the zoom adjustment knob.
9.4 TV Observation and Photomicrography 9.4.1 Selecting TV Adapter Magnification Set the magnification of the TV adapter according to the size of the CCD in the TV camera or digital camera. The following figures show the TV observation areas when the 10X eyepieces with FN 22 are used.
Under certain conditions, performance of the microscope may be adversely affected by factors other than defects. If problems occur, Please review the following list and take remedial action as needed. If you cannot solve the problem after checking the entire list, please contact Motic. Problem...
12. ASSEMBLY 12.1 Assembly Diagram The diagram below shows the sequence of assembly of the various modules. The Objective lens can do removal and assemble easily by screw type.
