    A magnification indicator is conveniently located on the zoom control. The RZ series is also coated with a special anti-static finish, which is especially useful when working with sensitive electronic components.

  • Page 4: Assembly Instructions

    ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Read these instructions thoroughly before attempting assembly. The RZ is a modular system, and your configuration might not include all of the parts discussed in this manual. This will affect the assembly process, so be sure that you understand how your components fit together and the order in which they should be assembled before you begin.
  • Page 5 (4) Viewing Head: A basic RZ system will have the viewing head mounted directly to the microscope body. However, If your system includes the COX Coaxial Illuminator or the MA751 Photo/Video Attachment, these items must be installed before the head is mounted (see Page15 ). The dovetail on the bottom of the viewing head (ergonomic or standard) fits into the mount on the top of the microscope body.

  • Page 6: Installing The Eye Guards

    INSTALLING THE EYE GUARDS Each eyepiece is provided with a protective rubber eye guard. Use of the rubber eye guard protects the optical surface of the eyepiece from accidental damage and prevents stray light from interfering with the image you are viewing.

  • Page 7: Standard Binocular Head

    STANDARD BINOCULAR HEAD The standard binocular head is inclined at 45 degree. The interpupillary distance is adjustable from 46mm to 75mm. ERGONOMIC BINOCULAR HEAD The ergonomic binocular head viewing angle is adjustable from 10 to 50 and the interpupillary distance is adjustable from 52mm to 75mm. ADJUSTING THE VIEWING HEIGHT The viewing height is correctly adjusted when your body, neck and back are positioned to avoid fatigue and strain.

  • Page 8: Tension Controls

    CHANGING THE MAGNIFICATION The RZ series microscopes have a continuous zoom range with a 10:1 zoom ratio and positive detente click stops at twelve positions of magnification. The zoom controls are located on each side of the microscope and can be operated from either side of the microscope.

    DIOPTRIC AND PARFOCALITY ADJUSTMENT WITH EYEPIECE RETICLE Install the eyepiece containing the reticle into the right eyetube. Focus the right eyepiece on the image of the reticle by rotating the dioptric adjustment rings until the image of the reticle is sharply in focus. Place a flat specimen on the microscope stage beneath the objective.

  • Page 13: Graduated Mechanical Stage For Rzp

    GRADUATED MECHANICAL STAGE FOR RZP This stage has 0.1mm graduations and coaxial controls for precise control of mounted specimens. Features 116mm x 137mm work surface with stage clips, 50mm x 75mm X-Y travel. Cat. No. MA578 GRADUATED MECHANICAL STAGE FOR RZT, RZBD, RZDT This stage has 0.1mm graduations and coaxial controls for precise control of mounted specimens.

  • Page 14: Cox Coaxial Vertical Illuminator

    COX COAXIAL ILLUMINATOR The COX Coaxial Illuminator directs light from a 6V 30W halogen lamp (replacement bulb: MA326) down through the objective lens onto your specimen and increases the microscope magnification by a factor of 1.5X. This vertical lighting is especially useful for viewing highly reflective surfaces such as solder balls, integrated circuits, wafers, or magnetic recording heads, as well as for illuminating small pits and other surfaces that would otherwise be in shadow.

  • Page 15: Photomicroscopy And Videomicroscopy Parts And Accessories

    PHOTOMICROSCOPY AND VIDEOMICROSCOPY PARTS AND ACCESSORIES The primary component necessary for photo or video work with the RZ stereo microscope is the MA751 Photo/Video Attachment. The MA751 allows you to take 35mm or large-format Polaroid photographs of your specimens, or to display your specimens on a video monitor. If you wish to photograph specimens while simultaneously displaying them on a video monitor, you can do so by attaching the MA752 Auxiliary Video Attachment to the MA751 photo/video attachment.

  • Page 16: Ma752 Auxiliary Video Attachment

    MA752 AUXILIARY VIDEO ATTACHMENT The MA752 Auxiliary Video Attachment attaches to on the left side of the MA751 photo/video attachment and allows you to mount an additional video camera to the microscope. A standard “C” mount (MA151/10) for attaching a video camera is included in the MA752, so if you have a camera and monitor, no further accessories are required.

  • Page 17: 35Mm Photomicroscopy Equipment

    35mm PHOTOMICROSCOPY EQUIPMENT Three parts are required for mounting a 35mm SLR camera body to the MA751 Photo/Video Attachment: 1. The appropriate T-2 Adapter Ring for your SLR camera body: T2-1 Canon T2-6 Olympus T2-2 Minolta T2-7 Contax, Yashika T2-3 Pentax K T2-8 Konica...

  • Page 18: Installing Ma150/50 And Ma150/60 Camera Attachment

    INSTALLING MA150/50 AND MA150/60 Camera Body The MA150/50 is comprised of two parts held together by a set screw: a small mounting flange that fits over the photo tube and locks down with a second T2 Adapter set screw, and a larger upper tube with a threaded end to accept the T2 adapter that is attached to your MA150/50 camera body.

  • Page 19: Using The Ma150/50 And Ma150/60 Camera Attachment

    USING THE MA150/50 AND MA150/60 CAMERA ATTACHMENTS Taking high quality photographs through a microscope takes a little practice, but the basic steps that you will need to follow are really quite simple. First of all, it is important that your microscope’s interpupillary, diopter, and illumination settings are properly adjusted (see Pages-in this manual).
  • Page 20 The image you wish to photograph should now be focused in all of the eyepieces and at the plane of the film. The procedure is identical for the MA150/50, except you must use the viewfinder window located on your 35mm camera body to parfocal the camera attachment instead of using the focusing eyepiece. Viewing the image of the specimen using the MA150/50 camera attachment is more difficult due to the small size of the viewfinder window and the lack of 10X magnification that the MA150/60 focusing eyepiece adds.

  • Page 21: Large Format Photomicroscopy Equipment

    LARGE FORMAT PHOTOMICROSCOPY EQUIPMENT The MEIJI TECHNO PMX100 Large Format Photographic Camera mounts directly to the photo tube of the RZ Photo/Video attachment, featuring a built-in 10X magnification factor and comes equipped with a 10X widefield focusing eyepiece and framing reticle.

  • Page 22: Using The Framing Reticle

    PMX100 CAMERA OPERATION (1) Place the PMX100 photomicrographic camera over the photo tube. The PMX100 requires no photo eyepiece as the camera comes equipped with a 10X projection lens. (2) Install the film holder of your choice by loosening the clips and positioning the film holder on top of the connecting frame.

    MAINTENANCE AND CARE REPLACING THE BULB OR FUSE Before replacing the bulb or fuse turn off the power to the microscope and disconnect the plug from the electrical power source. After use, the bulb and lamp housing can become very hot! Take care not to touch the lamp housing and do not bring flammable substances (Alcohol, cleaning solvents, gasoline, paint thinner, etc.) near the lamp housing.

  • Page 28: Bulb Replacement Rzbd Stand

    BULB REPLACEMENT FOR RZBD STANDS The bulb on 150W models is accessed through the external fiber optic light source. The outer cover of the external light source (FL180A or FL180B) is hinged at the rear. Rotate the large locking screw found on the top/front of the cover counter clockwise and gently pull up on the handle.
