Page 10: Eyepieces
EY EPI EC ES The microscope kit includes eyepieces 1 (Fig. 1). The eyepieces have long eye relief and are designed to work with or without glasses. Eyepiece diameter: 30mm. Eyepiece magnification: 10x. Field of view: 22mm. Both eyepieces have a diopter adjustment to compensate for the observer's ametropia. Eyepieces with a different magnification and a 10x eyepiece with 0.1mm scale are not included and are optional. -

Check the scope of delivery using Section 8 of the User Manual. 3. Place the stand 1 with the attached microscope head on the flat surface. Remove the packaging and dust cover. 4. -
Page 13: Brightfield Observation Procedure
BRIGHTFIELD OBSERVATION PROCEDURE SWITCHING ON T H E I LLU MI N ATI O N Before switching on the ON/OFF switch, make sure that the input voltage of the microscope power supply matches the local mains voltage. If not, do not switch on the microscope. Improper input voltage may result in a short circuit or fire. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the connector on the back panel of the microscope stand. -

The stage attachment is driven by a rack and pinion gear. Once it has reached the limit, do not rotate the knob 4 or 5 as this may cause the gear to break. Be careful not to hurt your hand on the protruding rack. Fig. -
Page 16: Focusing On The Specimen
FOCU S IN G ON T H E S PECI ME N Focusing on the specimen is achieved by coarse and fine focusing knobs. Perform the focusing using the 4x objective. Rotate the revolving nosepiece 1 to place the 4x objective in the optical path. The revolving nosepiece is rotated until locked. -
Page 17: Adjusting The Condenser
We recommend memorizing your diopter adjustment value for future reference. Adjust the distance between the eyepieces to your interpupillary distance by rotating the eyepiece tubes around the central axis until you see a single circular image when looking through the eyepieces with both eyes. -
Page 18: Phase-Contrast Technique
5 PHASE-CONTRAST TECHNIQUE The condenser allows utilizing the phase-contrast technique. Brightfield observations are performed as described above in the user manual. The following instructions apply only to the phase-contrast operation mode. Set up the phase-contrast device as follows: 1. Fully open the aperture diaphragm by moving the lever 1. 2. -
Page 19: Camera
Place the calibration slide on the stage instead of the specimen with the scaled side facing up. Using the scale of the calibration slide, calibrate the eyepiece scale for each objective that will be used for measurements. To do this, bring the image focus of the calibration slide scale into sharp focus in the plane of the eyepiece scale and rotate the eyepiece in the tube, setting the strokes of both scales in parallel. -
Page 20: Calibration Slide With A Camera
CALI B RATION SL ID E WI T H A CAM E RA The calibration slide (stage micrometer) is used to calibrate the image analysis software for measurements in actual units. In the calibration mode, you should capture an image of the micrometer scale with every objective magnification and indicate the known distance. -
