Page 3: Safety Precautions
Before using the microscope, please read this user manual carefully to study the instrument design, operation modes and procedures, operational limitations, and safety precautions. Due to the continuous improvements in the microscope design, this manual may not reflect minor design changes that do not affect the microscope performance and operation procedures. - Page 4 Bulb installation: – Do not touch the glass surface of the bulb with your bare hands. When installing the bulb, wear gloves or wrap the bulb with a cotton cloth. – Use a clean cotton cloth moistened with alcohol-based disinfectant to wipe dirt off the surface of the bulb.

The aperture and field diaphragms should not be considered as a tool to adjust the image brightness. The brightness should be adjusted by changing the light intensity using the knob 9 (Fig. 2) for adjusting the halogen bulb brightness.

Page 18: Adjusting The Eyepiece Tubes
ADJ U STI N G THE E YE P I ECE T UB ES While looking through the right eyepiece (with your left eye closed), bring the specimen into focus. While looking through the left eyepiece (with your right eye closed) and not touching the focusing knobs, bring the specimen into sharp focus in the left eyepiece by rotating the diopter adjustment ring. -
Page 19: Centering The Stage And Objectives
– Rotate the knob 2 to carefully move the condenser up and down and place the condenser to the operating position. In the operating position of the condenser, the edges of the octagon-shaped image of the closed field diaphragm are sharp and the diffracted blue-green color at the edge of the diaphragm is directed beyond the edge of the diaphragm and not into the field of view. -
Page 20: Transmitted Light Observations With A Polarizer
Fig. 14. Centering the stage and objectives Use the two centering screws 3 of the stage, located on both sides, to move the target point to the center and align it with the center of the crosshairs. Make sure that the target point remains in the center of the crosshairs when you rotate the disk. If necessary, repeat all the operations described above until the target point set in the crosshairs remains centered when the stage is rotated. -
Page 21: Observation Of Interference Patterns (Conoscopy)
It is recommended to study the sample birefringence based on the observation of interference colors and determine its syngony based on the observation of the extinction character with the closed aperture diaphragm of the condenser and the maximum possible brightness of illumination. Compensators are used to determine the optical properties of minerals with weak birefringence. -
Page 22: Reflected Polarized Light Observations
– Bring the specimen surface into sharp focus. Moving the object, bring the cleanest section into the field of view. – Reduce the opening of the field diaphragm 2. – Verify the centering of the field aperture image relative to the center of the crosshairs. If necessary, center the image with two centering wrenches, having previously installed them in the sockets 7. -
Page 23: Calculating The Total Magnification
CALC ULATING T H E TOTA L M AG NI F I CAT ION 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/0.70, the total magnification of the microscope is 10х40 = 400х. -
Page 24: Digital Camera
We recommend entering the obtained data in a size chart: Objective magnification Eyepiece division value Using these data to determine the actual linear size of the specimen, you just need to count the number of divisions of the eyepiece scale aligned with the area of the specimen being measured, and multiply this number by the scale division value specified in this table. -
Page 25: Calibration Slide With A Camera
Adjust it as follows: – Set the beam splitter lever 5 to the eyepiece position. 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. 19а), move the specimen on the stage so that the point is in the center of the field of view, as shown in Fig. -
