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.

11. Do not touch the lens surfaces with your fingers. Use a brush and special lens-cleaning solution to keep the lenses clean. 12. Bulb installation. This microscope employs LED bulbs as a light source. The bulbs should be replaced by the equipment vendor or in a qualified service center. If you replace the LED yourself, the illumination function may be impaired.

2 MICROSCOPE PARTS STAND The stand 8 (Fig.2) is a one-piece structure with the base. The base has Y-shaped stable ergonomic design. Parts attached to the microscope stand: – revolving nosepiece 2 (Fig. 2) with objectives 3 (Fig. 2) – stage 4 (Fig. 2) –...
The interpupillary distance is adjusted by rotating the eyepiece tubes 3 (Fig. 1) in the range of 48–75mm. The distance between the eyepieces matching the observer's interpupillary distance is marked on the adjustment scale. For convenience, the microscope head is inclined at 30°. Microscope head magnification: 1x.

3 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLING THE MICROSCOPE The assembly procedure is given in Fig. 4. Fig. 4. Assembling the microscope 1. Remove the microscope from the package. 2. Check the scope of delivery using Section 8 of the User Manual. 3. Inspect the microscope and its components for damage. 4.
4 BRIGHTFIELD OBSERVATIONS IN TRANSMITTED LIGHT 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. Set the filter turret wheel 2 (Fig.
Looking into the right eyepiece (with the left eye closed) and lowering the stage slowly, bring the image into sharp focus using the coarse 2 and fine 1 focusing knobs. The tension of the coarse focusing knob is adjustable and is preset by the manufacturer for convenient use. If you need to adjust the tension of the coarse focusing knob, rotate the coarse focusing tension adjusting knob 4.
The adjustment range is ±5 diopters. The number on the ring corresponds to the diopter adjustment of the eyes. The indicator on the side is used for marking. 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.
– Open the field diaphragm 3 until it just disappears outside of the field of view. Additional centering may be required. – Remove the eyepiece from the right tube with no diopter adjustment and, while observing the objective exit pupil, open the aperture diaphragm to 2/3 of the objective exit pupil.
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. For example, if the eyepiece is 10х/22mm, and the objective is 40х/0.85, the total magnification of the microscope is 10 х...
– Set the beam splitter lever 4 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. 12а), move the specimen on the stage so that the point is in the center of the field of view, as shown in Fig.
The light source is selected to match the filter type. The letters on the filter turret and the lamphouse turret must be the same when in operation. USI N G THE R EF L ECT ED L IGH T IL LUM IN ATOR 1.
Use the "shutter" position when you have completed the observations or during a break in order to avoid excessive excitation light exposure and prevent the specimen from fluorescence fading. Use the "neutral matt density" position in case of prolonged light exposure or under intense illumination of the specimen, which may distort the specimen configuration and affect the image quality and microscopy results.
– Place a drop of immersion oil on the coverslip, place the 100х objective into the optical path and focus on the specimen. You should see the darkfield effect in the field of view (brightly shining particles of the specimen on a dark background).
USI N G THE E YEP IECE WIT H A SCAL E The eyepiece with a scale or reticle 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.
