introduces diffraction. The aperture must be adjusted for each
objective.
8. Next, use the fine focus control to refine the focus and provide
the sharpest image.
9. Now you can rotate the nosepiece to higher magnification
objectives. The objectives are parfocalized, meaning that once
the lowest objective (4XD) is focused, only a slight turn of the
fine focusing knob is required when changing to the 10XD,
40XRD and 100XRD objectives.
OIL IMMERSION
It is desirable to use immersion oil with the 100XRD objective. Oil
generates a fine resolution and brightens the image viewed through
the microscope. Place a tiny amount of oil (1 very small drop) onto
the slide (between the slide and the objective tip) prior to focusing
with the 100XRD objective. It is essential to thoroughly clean the
objective tip after use. Please contact Swift Optical or your
authorized Swift dealer for the appropriate immersion oil to use.
IMPORTANT: The working distances from the 100XRD and 40XRD
objectives to the slide surface are very close. Even though the
objectives are sealed to prevent oil contamination, it is a good
practice to avoid dragging these objectives through an oiled slide.

PHASE CONTRAST

The phase contrast microscope reveals fine detail in transparent
objects which possess very little contrast. Unstained living
organisms and cells can be studied without danger of artifacts
produced by killing, fixing or staining reagents. The M10L can be
outfitted with a multi-phase system (MA10050) that includes a set of
Plan Phase objectives and a special phase condenser carousel.
Please refer to the detailed instruction sheet enclosed with each
phase kit for proper use.

LCD SCREEN

To use the built in LCD Screen, lift the screen back to bring the
screen into the viewing position. The screen can also be slightly
rotated right or left for easier viewing between multiple users.
Please use caution when rotating the screen. It is not designed to
be rotated 360 degrees.
An A/C adapter has been included with the microscope to provide
constant power to the LCD screen and camera. The 4.2 volt A/C
adapter power port is located on the right side of the LCD screen
housing below the power button.
PLEASE NOTE: The LCD screen and camera can also be operated for
approximately 2 hours by using the built-in rechargeable battery.
The battery life icon is shown in the upper left corner of the LCD
screen. (Please see battery charging section)
