completely cooled. Never attempt to handle a hot halogen bulb.

electrical surge suppressor to prevent damage due to voltage

fluctuations.

7. For safety when replacing the halogen lamp or fuse, ensure the

main switch is off (“O”), remove the power cord, and replace the

halogen bulb after the bulb and the lamp house has completely

cooled.

8. Confirm that the input voltage indicated on your microscope

corresponds to your line voltage. The use of a different input

voltage than indicated will cause severe damage to the

microscope.

9. When moving the microscope, hold the instrument with one

hand on the lower portion of the eyepiece tube (Fig. 1-1) and the

other hand on the illumination bracket (Fig. 1-2)

stream from an air bulb. If dirt remains on the optical surface, use a soft cloth or cotton

swab dampened with a lens cleaning solution (available at camera stores). All optical lenses

should be swabbed using a circular motion. A small amount of absorbent cotton wound on

the end of a tapered stick makes a useful tool for cleaning recessed optical surfaces. Avoid

using an excessive amount of solvents as this may cause problems with optical coatings or

cemented optics or the flowing solvent may pick up grease making cleaning more difficult.

Oil immersion objectives should be cleaned immediately after use by removing the oil with

lens tissue or a clean, soft cloth.

ND MAINTENANCE

4. Store the instrument in a cool, dry environment. Cover the microscope with the dust cover

when not in use.

5. Microscopes are precision instruments which require periodic servicing to maintain

prope

r performance and to compensate for normal wear. A regular schedule of

preventative maintenance by qualified personnel is highly recommended. Your authorized

distributor can arrange for this service.

1. Insert the condenser illumination unit (1) into the

bracket (2).

2. Turn the condenser illumination unit at clockwise
about 90 until the “AS” mark of filter holder③ is

facing forward.

3. Keep the screws the of condenser illumination

unit and the holes of the bracket aligned. Tighten the

screws with the supplied hexagon wrench.

4. Insert BNC connector cable ④ into the BNC
connector plug ⑤.

2-2-4 Installing the Objectives（

1. Turn the coarse focusing knob① clockwise until the

nosepiece reaches its lowest position. The tension

control collar (2) has been factory adjusted.

2. Install the lowest magnification objective into the

nosepiece. Then, in a clock-wise direction, rotate the

nosepiece and install each succeeding higher

magnification objective.

3. When changing objective magnifications, rotate the

nosepiece until you hear a “click” sound. This ensures

the objective is centered in the optical light path.

★ Inspect the objectives regularly for dirt and oil; clean

necessary.

★ Cover all unused nosepiece holes with a nosepiece

plug③ to prevent dust and contamination from entering.

★ Use the 10x objective to initially focus the image of your

imen.
