11. Do not use any other oily substance instead of proper immersion oil made specifically for the given purpose, as this will degrade the image quality and damage the lenses. 12. Do not touch the lens surfaces with your fingers. Use a brush and special lens-cleaning solution to keep the lenses clean.

The interpupillary distance is adjusted by rotating the eyepiece tubes 2 (Fig. 1) in the range of 47–75mm. The distance between the eyepieces matching the observer's interpupillary distance is marked on the adjustment scale 7 on the microscope head (Fig. 3). For convenience, the microscope head is inclined at 30°.

ADJ U STI N G THE E YE P I ECE T UB ES Use a diopter adjustment on the eyepiece tubes to compensate for the observer's ametropia. The adjustment range is ± 5 diopters. First set the diopter adjustment 1 on both tubes to the middle position. While looking through the eyepiece installed in one tube (with the other eye closed), bring the specimen into focus.

USING OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT U SING THE EYEP I ECE W I TH A SCALE The eyepiece with a scale or grid can be used to make comparative analysis of the linear dimensions of the individual components of an object. The scale is installed in the plane of the field diaphragm of the 10x eyepiece. The eyepiece with a scale is installed in the tube in place of the eyepiece of your microscope.

USI N G THE CA ME RA ( MAGUS B IO 2 4 0T ) The microscope is designed to observe a specimen through the eyepieces and to photograph the specimen. The vertical camera port (trinocular tube) is located on the top of the microscope head. There is a C-mount adapter 1 mounted in the trinocular tube to use the camera.
