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.

Page 12: Intermediate Attachment
IN TER M EDIAT E AT TACHMENT The intermediate attachment is installed in the slot on top of the stand and secured with a screw using an Allen wrench. There is an analyzer, a slot for compensators, and a Bertrand lens in the intermediate attachment. The general view of the intermediate attachment is given in Fig. -
Page 13: Transmitted Light Illumination
A first order full-wave plate (λ) introduces a phase shift of 90° into the green wavelength of light, which is then blocked by the analyzer, leaving the linear polarization of the other light wavelengths unchanged. It is used for quantitative analysis in conoscopic and orthoscopic polarization microscopy, for determining the optical sign of a positive or negative birefringent sample, for determining the thickness of the object and the birefringence of crystalline and polymeric materials, for enhancement of contrast of the objects with weak birefringence, e.g. -
Page 14: Objectives
Four out of five slots of the revolving nosepiece are centered to align the optical axis of the objective and microscope. Thus, as the revolving nosepiece rotates, the section of the object that was in the center of the field of view on one objective remains in the center of the field of view on the other objectives. -
Page 15: Camera
The camera is powered via a 12V/1A AC power adapter. MONITO R The monitor is designed to use a visualization system of the MAGUS microscope. It connects to a microscope-mounted camera to display a real-time image. The monitor is installed on the table or shelf on a folding mount or attached directly to the camera or microscope stand. -
Page 16: Brightfield Observation Procedure
1. Unpack the microscope and check the scope of delivery using Section 7 of the User Manual. 2. Take out the stand 1 and place it on a stable work table, remove packaging and dust cover. 3. Remove the intermediate attachment 2 with a Bertrand lens, an analyzer, and a compensator. Insert it into the mounting hole on the stand and secure it with the screw 5 using an Allen wrench. -
Page 17: Focusing On The Specimen
FO CU SI N G ON T H E S P EC IM EN Focusing on the specimen is achieved by coarse and fine focusing knobs. Perform the focusing using the 10x objective. Rotate the revolving nosepiece to place the 10x objective in the optical path. - Page 18 The Köhler illumination is one of the features of professional microscopes. Proper set-up of Köhler illumination offers the following benefits: – the highest possible resolution on each objective – focusing on the specimen image, removing the images of artifacts: dust on the illuminator or on the slide, glare; –...

Page 19: Centering The Stage And Objectives
The size of the aperture diaphragm affects the image contrast. Do not increase the image brightness by opening the aperture diaphragm, as this will result in loss of contrast and low resolution. The brightness is only adjustable with the brightness adjustment ring. The greater the magnification of the objective, the larger is its aperture, and the larger is the opening of the condenser diaphragm. -

O BSE RVATI ONS WI T H O N E P O L ARI Z ER Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Remove the analyzer 17 (Fig. 2) from the optical path. Mount the specimen on the stage 4 (Fig. 2) and secure it with spring clips. Make sure that there is an eyepiece with a reticle in one of the tubes. -
Page 21: Calculating The Total Magnification
– introduce the analyzer into the optical path and use the scale of the analyzer and polarizer to set the crossed position of nicols – introduce the Bertrand lens into the optical path and observe a conoscopic image – rotate the analyzer slightly relative to the zero position to achieve the best possible contrast in the conoscopic image. 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. -
Page 22: Using The Monitor
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. 15а), move the specimen on the stage so that the point is in the center of the field of view, as shown in Fig. -
Page 23: Using Optional Equipment
USING OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT STAGE ATTACHM EN T A mechanical stage attachment is used for convenient movement of specimens in two mutually perpendicular directions: X-axis (right-left) and Y-axis (forward/backward). The stage attachment is mounted on pins into the stage holes and secured with a screw. -
