around the base), lift the microscope from the container and put it on a stable desk.
3.2 Place the observation head onto the top of the arm and tighten the lock-screw. Insert the eyepieces
into the eye tubes.
3.3 Connect the provided power supply to the power supply input jack on the rear of the microscope.
3.0 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
Connect the mains plug into the socket at the base
Make sure, before you turn the illumination on, that the voltage selector is set to the mains voltage for
your region.
The power cord should be used only on network sockets equipped with adequate grounding.
Contact a technician to check the state of your electrical system. If there is no need to install additional
accessories, the instrument is now ready for use. Once positioned and installed with the necessary
components, the microscope is ready to be used. Your microscope is a laboratory instrument designed to last. Handle it always carefully and avoid abrupt vibrations or shocks. Always disconnect the
power cable from the microscope when not in use for long time, while you clean it or when you perform
any maintenance.
AVOID DISASSEMBLING THE INSTRUMENT
Do not disassemble the instrument. This entails the cancellation of the warranty and may cause
malfunction.

4.2 Place the specimen on the stage
Lock the specimen slide on the mechanical stage using the slide clamp. Ensure that the specimen is
centred over the stage opening by adjusting the coaxial knobs of the stage.
4.3 Lamp settings
The microscope is tted with power white LED illuminator. Before turning on the light, read the section
6.3 about electrical safety precautions. Insert the plug of the power supply into the jack on the rear.
Turn the brightness adjustment knob in order to switch the light on and to reach a brightness suitable
for observation.
4.4 Adjust interpupillary distance
Hold the right and left parts of the observation head by both hands and adjust the interpupillary dis-
tance by turning the two parts until one circle of light can be seen.
4.5 Focus and diopter adjustment
Rotate the coarse focusing knob to bring the slide into focus using an objective with a low magnication. Adjust the ne focusing knob to get the image sharp and clear while observing with your right
eye, then turn the dioptric adjustment ring on the left eyepiece until a sharp and clear image can be
observed also with the other eye. Turn the tension-adjust-knob to get a suitable tension for the focus
system. When the image is in focus, turn the nosepiece to choose the objective you need.
4.6 Condenser adjustment
Hold the lever of the condenser and rotate it up or down until you reach a clear and uniform sample
illumination.

B-150ALC models have a special function called “Automatic Light Control”.
The level of light is adjusted by the microscope in order to maintain the same level as the one the user has
chosen, no matter if the aperture of the diaphgram changes, another objective is inserted, opacity of the
sample changes, etc.
Model B-151ALC
1) Set the focus on the sample as described in the previous chapters, using the objective of your choice.
2) Rotate the brightness adjustment knob in order to get a comfortable level of illumination.
3) Press the ALC button on the side of the microscope.
Now the ALC system is working: if you open or close the aperture diaphragm or change objective, the system
will try to maintain the same level of illumination as the one you stored when you pressed the button.
4) Press the ALC button again to return to a manual control of illumination.

This microscope is recommended to be used in a clean, dry and shock free environment with a
temperature of 0-40°C and a maximum relative humidity of 85 % (non condensing). Use a dehumidier
if needed.
7.2 To think about when and after using the microscope
• The microscope should always be kept vertically when moving it and be careful so that no moving
parts, such as the eyepieces, fall out.
• Never mishandle or impose unnecessary force on the microscope.
• Never attempt to service the microscope yourself.
• After use, turn off the light immediately, cover the microscope with the included dust-cover, and keep
it in a dry and clean place.
7.3 Electrical safety precautions
• Before plugging in the power supply, make sure that the supplying voltage of your region matches with
the operation voltage of the equipment and that the lamp switch is in off-position.
• Users should observe all safety regulations of the region. The equipment has acquired the CE safety
label. However, users do have full responsibility to use this equipment safely.
7.4 Cleaning the optics
• If the optical parts need to be cleaned try rst to: use compressed air.
• If that is not sufcient: use a soft lint-free piece of cloth with water and a mild detergent.
• And as a nal option: use the piece of cloth moistened with a 3:7 mixture of ethanol and ether.
Note: ethanol and ether are highly ammable liquids. Do not use them near a heat source, near
sparks or near electric equipment. Use these chemicals in a well ventilated room.
• Remember to never wipe the surface of any optical items with your hands. Fingerprints can damage
the optics.
• Do not disassemble objectives or eyepieces in attempt to clean them.
