2.0 INTRODUCTION
The OPTIKA zoom stereo microscopes SZM series are high performance Greenough microscopes with continuous zoom system 0.7:4.5.
These instruments are made for examining any three dimensional object in industrial, biological and educational applications. They are equipped with two separate optical systems that give an excellent eld depth to
the image, a stereoscopic effect.
3.0 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
The components for the SZM series are shipped in a Styrofoam box for protection. Open the box with care to
avoid that any components fall out and get damaged.
If the instrument has been damaged during the transport, please contact both the carrier and your supplier
immediately.
Unpack the stand and put it on a good stable table. Loosen the lock screw of the focusing carrier, adjust the
height of the focusing carrier and lock the lock screw again.
Put the stereo head onto the focusing carrier and lock it by the lock screw on the side of the focusing carrier.
During the operation of the microscope, this screw should always be locked to maintain maximum stability.
Unpack the eyepieces and other optical parts carefully and place the eyepieces into the eyepiece tubes.
When handling the optical parts, avoid touching any lens surface with naked hand or ngers. Any ngerprints
or grease stains will negatively affect the image quality.
Connect the external power supply plug into the socket at the base
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.

4.0 USING THE MICROSCOPE
4.1 Illumination system
The SZM-LED1 and SZM-LED2 come with an integrated illumination system with incident and transmitted light. Before starting, read the section 5.3 about electrical safety precautions. Then, insert
the external power supply and use the brightness controls to turn on the LEDs and control the light
intensity.
The base is equipped with two clips that can be used to block the specimen.
4.2 Adjust interpupillary distance
Hold the right and left parts of the observation head by both hands and adjust the interpupillary distance by moving the two parts until one circle of light can be seen. If two circles appear, the interpupillary distance is too big, and if two overlapped circles appear,
the interpupillary distance is too small.
4.3 Focus and regulation of the focusing tension
Put the sample to be observed on the plate and turn the zoom
to the highest magnication using the bilateral zoom knob. Try
to focus the sample using the focusing knobs.
4.4 Dioptric compensation
This compensation makes it possible for people with glasses
to adjust the microscope to their eyes and use the microscope
without glasses. Turn the zoom down to the lowest magnication. Adjust the diopter compensation ring of the right eyepiece
tube until the image of the right eyepiece is clear and sharp.
Repeat the procedure for the left eyepiece. Then, check the
focus of the image for the whole zoom range. It should now
be perfectly parfocal (focus is always maintained during the
change of magnication).
4.5 Magnicationandworkingdistance
The total magnication varies from 1.75x to 180x depending on the eyepieces and auxiliary objectives used. With the bilateral zoom knob, the user can change the magnication in a factor of 6.4 with
perfect parfocality and the image is always centred.
Select the desired magnication by adjusting the bilateral zoom knob. Change the eyepieces and/or
add an appropriate magnifying objective lens if necessary. The total magnication used can be calculated by the following equation:
Total magnication = Eyepiece magnication x Zoom magnication x Objective lens magnication
Normal working distance for the standard conguration (1x objective lens) is 95 mm.
4.6 Video capturing (optional)
Two kinds of observation heads, binocular or trinocular, are available for the SZM series. They can all
be connected to cameras via an adaptor, for digital and analogical photo and video capturing.
Before taking a picture or lming video, pull out the light path selector lever so the light will be deected into the photo tube. At the same time, no light will enter into the right eyepiece tube for observation.
Please refer to the adaptor and camera manuals for further details.

5.1 Microscopy environment
This microscope is recommended to be used in a clean, dry and shock free environment with a tem-
perature of 0-40°C and a maximum relative humidity of 85 % (non condensing). Use a dehumidier if
needed.
5.2 Tothinkaboutwhenandafterusingthemicroscope
• 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.
5.3 Electrical safety precautions
• 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.
5.4 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.
