ASSEMBLY

Some minor assembly may be required. If required,

1) Remove the microscope base from the packing material. Remove the microscope head from the
packing material and place in the focus block (ring holder). Tighten locking nut to secure the head
in position. Most Omano stereo microscopes have rotatable heads so you can view the
microscope from either side of the stand. Simply rotate the head through 360° and tighten the
locking nut. If using a pole microscope, you can rotate the entire head and focus block, which is
useful for viewing larger specimens that do not fit on the stage.

2) RETAIN ALL PACKING MATERIAL. Should you need to return the microscope, you will need the
original packing material in good condition as per our Returns & Refunds policy.

3) Unwrap eyepieces an insert into oculars.

4) Tighten all locking nuts on the microscope.

OPERATION

1) Power On

Turn on the microscope. If your
microscope has a light intensity
adjustment dial, ensure that it is turned up.

2) Interpupillary Adjustment

Grasp both oculars and rotate to adjust the
interpupillary distance to suit the distance
between your eyes.

3) Focusing

a) Ensure that the lowest power is in use. For dual power microscopes, rotate the objective

housing until the lowest power clicks into place. For zoom stereo microscopes, rotate the

zoom control to the lowest setting.
b) Raise or lower the stage using the focus control until a clear image is viewed.
c) Diopter Adjustment: To adjust for differences between your right and left eye, first focus

using only your left eye. Once in focus, use only your right eye and adjust the diopter on

the right-hand ocular to bring your right eye into focus.
