The S40x, S60x and S100x objectives are equipped with a spring mount, to prevent damage to the
front lens and the slide.

The Numeric Aperture - N.A. – of the objective is an indication for the resolving power of the
objective.

The total magnification can be calculated by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece with the
magnification of the objective. The magnifications are displayed in the table below:

Preparing the iScope microscope for use

Your microscope is a delicate product, please handle it with care.

Carefully remove the items from their packing and place them on a flat, firm surface. Please do not
expose the microscope to direct sun light, high temperatures, damp, dust or acute shake. Please
make sure the worktable is flat and horizontal.

When moving the microscope, use the left hand to hold the transport handle at the backside of
the microscope and with the right hand the bottom of the microscope.

Transport handle

Caution! Holding the microscope with the stage, the
stage focusing knob will damage the microscope.

Insert the power cord in the backside of the microscope and use the cable storage CSS - Cable
Storage System – to store the cable after use

CSS - Cable Storage System

Caution! If the bacterial solution or water splatters over the stage, objective or head, pull out the
power cord immediately and dry the microscope.

For safety reasons, make sure the power switch is turned off and remove the plug before

Assembling Steps

Euromex Microscopes will always try to keep the number of assembly steps for their customers as
low as possible but in some cases there are some steps to be taken. The steps mentioned below
are often not necessary but described for your convenience nonetheless.

Mounting the objectives

1. Rotate the coarse focusing knob to lower the stage to the lowest position.

2. Install the objectives into the objective nosepiece from the lowest magnification to the highest
in a clockwise direction from the rear side of the microscope. When using the microscope, start
using the low magnification objective (4X or 10X) to search for specimen and focus, and then
continue with high magnification objective to observe.

The microscope head

The standard iScope series configuration is supplied with the head assembled. However, if your
order contains the fluorescence it should be mounted first. The dovetail on the bottom side of
these parts fits into the slot on the top side of the other parts.

Placing the eye pieces

1. Remove the cover of eyepiece tube.

2. Insert the eyepiece into the eyepiece tube

The eyeshades

Each eyepiece has its rubber eyeshade. This prevents damage to the lens, and prevents stray light.
The eyeshade can simply be slipped over the eyepiece.

Connecting the power cord

The iScope series microscopes supported a wide range of operating voltages: 100 to 240V. Please
use a grounded power connection.

1. Make sure the power switch is off before connecting.

2. Insert the connector of power cord into the iScope power socket, and make sure it

connects well.

3. Insert the other connector into the mains socket, and make sure it connects well.

Don’t use bend or twist the power cord, it will get damaged. Using the special cord supplied by
Euromex. If it’s lost or damaged, choose one with the same specifications.
