COMPONENTS STAND The stand has stable ergonomic design. Parts attached to the stand 3 (Fig. 1): – revolving nosepiece 13 (рис.1) with objectives – stage 14 (Fig. 1) – eyepiece tubes 2 (Fig. 1) – lamphouse 15 (Fig. 2). Inside the stand is the focusing mechanism and the power supply for the illuminator. The power supply converts AC voltage to the required voltage to power the halogen bulb. -
Page 11: Eyepieces
An imaging system with a monitor is installed in the trinocular tube 15 (Fig. 1) using a C-mount adapter. You can switch the light path to the trinocular tube using the levers 8 (Fig. 2) and 18 (Fig. 2). The lever has two positions: 100/0 and 50/50. EY EPI EC ES The microscope kit includes eyepieces 1 (Fig. -

Adjust the distance between the eyepieces to your interpupillary distance by rotating the eyepiece tubes 2 around the central axis until you see a single circular image when looking through the eyepieces with both eyes... -
Page 15: Placing The Specimen
PL AC IN G THE SP EC IM E N Place the metal sample or specimen on the round plate 1 in the center of the stage, having previously chosen the desired hole diameter based on the size of the sample. Fix the specimen with a spring clip. Do not clamp the specimen too tightly, as this may deform the plate or stage. -
Page 16: Setting Up Köhler Illumination
SE TTI N G U P KÖ H L ER IL LU MI NAT IO N In the light optical microscope, the image quality depends equally on the optics and on the illumination system, so adjusting the illumination is an important preparatory step. The illumination system affects the image resolution, comfort during long observation, and photo quality when using digital cameras. -
Page 17: Polarized Light Observations
PO L ARI ZE D L IGH T O BS E RVAT IO N S Polarized light observations are made to study the double refraction properties of anisotropic materials. For example, crystals, biomedical polymers, and liquid crystals. The microscope kit includes a polarizer/analyzer set, which consists of a polarizer and an analyzer. To enable polarization microscopy, install the polarizer 2 and analyzer 1 on the right side under the revolving nosepiece. - Page 18 To enable the camera: – Loosen the attachment screw 1 of the side camera port. Remove the dust cap 2. – The microscope kit includes a C-mount adapter. Connect the camera to the adapter. – Fit the camera into the trinocular tube and secure it with the screw 1. –...
