Page 11: Eyepieces
A camera (video-eyepiece) or an imaging system with a monitor is installed in the trinocular tube 12 (Fig. 1) of the microscope head using a C-mount 1x adapter. The light path splitting ratio: 50% trinocular tube, 50% eyepieces. EY EPI EC ES The microscope kit includes eyepieces 1 (Fig. -
Page 12: Stage
The condenser can be used for the brightfield and phase-contrast techniques. The condenser has a slot for the phase- contrast slider. The phase-contrast slider 10 (Fig. 2) has an open slot and a phase slide for the 10x objective. The iris aperture diaphragm is located under the slot for the phase-contrast slider. The aperture diaphragm is opened by the knob 9 (Fig. -
Page 13: Brightfield Observation Procedure
1. Remove the microscope from the package. 2. Check the scope of delivery in item 8 of the User Manual. 3. Inspect the microscope and its components for damage. 4. Take out the microscope head 3, remove the dust cover. Insert the microscope head into the holder 2. Secure the microscope head with the screw 9 using an Allen wrench from the microscope kit. -
Page 14: Adjusting The Eyepiece Tubes
ADJ U STI N G THE E YE P I ECE T UB ES Adjust the interpupillary distance. Adjust the distance between the eyepieces to your interpupillary distance by rotating the eyepiece tubes 1 (Fig. 6) around the central axis until you see a single circular image when looking through the eyepieces with both eyes (Fig. -
Page 15: Focusing On The Specimen
Fig. 8. Moving the specimen The stage attachment features an XY control system. The control knobs are coaxial – they are located on the same axis. The knob 2 controls longitudinal (Y-axis) movement, the knob 3 controls lateral (X-axis) movement. Moving range: 77mm in Y-axis direction and 112mm in X-axis direction. -
Page 16: Adjusting The Diopter
When using high magnification objectives, raise the objective all the way up by rotating the coarse focusing knob and enable the coarse focusing lock knob. After that, focus on the specimen using the fine focusing knob. Adjust the coarse focusing tension. The tension of the coarse focusing knob is adjustable and is preset by the manufacturer for convenient use. -
Page 17: Calculating The Total Magnification
CALCU LATI N G T HE TOTAL M AGN IF I CAT I ON The total magnification is the eyepiece power multiplied by the objective power. For example, if the eyepiece is 10х/22mm, and the objective is 40х/0.60, the total magnification of the microscope is 10х40 = 400х. -
Page 18: Phase-Contrast Technique
Do it as follows: – While observing the specimen through the eyepieces, find a distinctive point in the field of view (an easily identifiable target, such as point S in Fig. 13а), move the specimen on the stage so that the point is in the center of the field of view, as shown in Fig. -
