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 11. 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.

COMPONENTS STAND The stand is a one-piece structure with the Y-shaped base. Parts attached to the stand 14 (Fig. 1): – revolving nosepiece 5 (Fig. 2) with objectives 6 (Fig. 2) – stage 5 (Fig. 1) – condenser mount 14 (Fig. 2). Inside the stand is the focusing mechanism and the power supply of the illuminator. -
Page 12: Eyepieces
The diopter adjustment on the left eyepiece tube is intended to compensate for the observer's ametropia. The axial position of the eyepiece is adjusted by the ring 1 (Fig. 2). The second eyepiece tube is fixed. A C-mount 1x adapter is installed in the trinocular tube 22 (Fig. 1) of the microscope head to fix the camera (video eyepiece). -

Page 15: Lamphouse
LA M PHO USE The lamphouse 9 (Fig. 4) is secured to the illuminator 1 (Fig. 4). Inside the lamphouse is the light source – halogen bulb. The bulb is centered on three axes by the knobs 15 (Fig. 2) and 7, 8 (Fig. 4). The halogen bulb heats up during operation, so there is a grid on the lamphouse for natural cooling of the light source. -

Page 18: Adjusting The Eyepiece Tubes
Rotate the coarse focusing knob 2 (Fig. 9) to raise the stage all the way up. Looking into the eyepiece and slowly rotating the focusing knob, lower the stage. When you see the specimen image in the field of view, stop rotating the coarse focusing knob. - Page 19 – Switch on the transmitted light illuminator by setting the switch 7 (Fig. 12) to position "I". Let it run for a while to achieve a stable illumination level. – Pull out the lever 4 (Fig. 2) to position to enable the transmitted light mode (MAGUS Metal 600). For MAGUS Metal 600 BD, the lever should be in a pushed-in position (brightfield microscopy).

Page 20: Calculating The Total Magnification
Set the lever 4 (Fig. 2) to the pushed-in position to enable the reflected light mode (MAGUS Metal 600). For MAGUS Metal 600 BD, the lever should be in a pushed-in position (brightfield microscopy). Switch on the reflected light illuminator by setting the switch 8 (Fig. 2) to position "II". Let it run for a while to achieve a stable illumination level. -
Page 21: Setting Up Köhler Illumination
The light source is centered as follows: 1. Place a sheet of white paper 1 (approximately 40х50mm) on the stage as shown in Fig. 13. 2. Introduce the free slot (a slot without an objective) into the optical path. 3. Open the field 2 and aperture 3 diaphragms (Fig. 13). A brightly illuminated spot will appear on the paper showing the filament, as shown in Fig. -

4. Place the specimen or sample on the stage. Adjust the image by moving the X/Y stage control knobs so that the observed specimen is directly under the objective. 5. Bring the specimen into focus in the dark field. If the specimen is not visible in the dark field, switch the microscope to brightfield observations. -

Work out the value for one eyepiece division using each objective by formula Е=ТL/A, where: E – eyepiece division value Т – stage division value specified on the stage micrometer (0.01mm) L – number of stage micrometer divisions A – number of eyepiece divisions. We recommend entering the obtained data in a size chart: Objective magnification Eyepiece division value... -

– Switch on the camera 5 (Fig. 19) as per the manual and adjust the image. – If the image is blurred, adjust the focus using the fine focusing knob to ensure an accurate and sharp image. If there is a strict requirement to synchronize the image in the eyepieces and camera (coincidence between the image center and direction), you should adjust the camera image using three centering screws 3 (Fig. -
