1 Getting Ready
1.1 Operation
1) Do not expose the microscope in the sun directly. The microscope ought to be placed where is dry and
clean. Avoid high temperature and violent vibration.
2) As the microscope is a high precision instrument, always operate it with care, and avoid physical shock or
crash during the transportation.
3) To keep the image clear, please do not leave fingerprints or stains on the surfaces of lens.
4) Never rotate the left and right focusing knobs in reverse direction; otherwise the microscope will be
damaged.
1.2 Maintenance
1) Keep all the surface of the lens clean. Wipe the lens gently with a soft lens tissue or blow away the dust.
Carefully wipe off oil or fingerprints on the lens surfaces with tissue moistened with a little of 3:7 mixture of
alcohol and ether.
2) Do not use organic solution to wipe the surface of other components, especially the surface of plastic
components. Please use the neutral detergent if necessary.
3) Never disassemble the microscope yourself, otherwise it will influence its function or damage it.
4) After using, cover the microscope with a dust cover to prevent it from the dust, and store it in a place free
from moisture to avoid rusting.
To keep the performance of the microscope, please check it periodically. For more details, please contact the
agents nearby.

2-1 Assembling Scheme
Below is the Assembling Scheme to describe how to assemble the components, and the numbers denote the
assembling order.
Before assembling, make sure there is no dust, dirt or other materials which will disturb it.
Assemble carefully and do not scrap any part or touch the glass surface.
Preserve the hexagon spanner, and it will be used when changing the parts.

1. Move the LED right light close to the
microscope body according to the
arrowhead direction, align the three screw
holes ① with the thread groove ②, and
lock the screw with a M4 inner hexagon
spanner(side length 2mm).

1. Insert the external adapter plug ① into the
power supply adapter socket ② of the
microscope body to the bottom, and the
power will be switched on.
Don’t use excessive force when the
power cord is bended or twisted,
otherwise it will be damaged.
