Z850 STEREO MICROSCOPE
SAFETY NOTES
1. Open the shipping carton carefully to prevent any accessory, i.e. objectives or eyepieces, from
dropping and being damaged.
2. Keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, and dusty environments.
3. If any specimen solutions or other liquids splash onto the stage, objective or any other component,
disconnect the power cord immediately and wipe up the spillage. Otherwise, the instrument may be
damaged.
4. LAMP REPLACEMENT -- CAUTION: the glass envelope of the lamp may be extremely
hot. DO NOT attempt to change the lamp before it is completely cooled or without
wearing adequate skin protection.
5. All electrical connectors (power cord) should be inserted into an electrical surge protector to prevent
damage due to voltage fluctuations.
6. FUSE REPLACEMENT -- For safety when replacing the fuse (ONLY replace with the
same size, type and rating of original fuse), be sure the main switch is in the off position,
disconnect the power cord from outlet, and replace the fuse. Reconnect the power cord
and turn unit on.
7. Confirm that the input voltage indicated on your microscope corresponds to your line voltage. The
use of a different input voltage other than indicated will cause severe damage to the microscope.
NOTE: Always plug the stereomicroscope power cord into a suitable grounded electrical outlet. A
grounded 3-wire cord is provided.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Do not attempt to disassemble any component including eyepieces, objectives or focusing assembly.
2. Keep the instrument clean; remove dirt and debris regularly. Accumulated dirt on metal surfaces
should be cleaned with a damp cloth. More persistent dirt should be removed using a mild soap
solution. Do not use organic solvents for cleansing.
3. The outer surface of the optics should be inspected and cleaned periodically using an air stream from
an air bulb. If dirt remains on the optical surface, use a soft, lint free 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.
4. Store the instrument in a cool, dry environment. Cover the microscope with the dust cover when not
in use.
5. UNITRON® microscopes are precision instruments which require periodic servicing to maintain
proper performance and to compensate for normal wear. A regular schedule of preventative
maintenance by qualified personnel is highly recommended. Your authorized UNITRON® distributor
can arrange for this service.

Z850 STEREO MICROSCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new UNITRON® microscope. UNITRON® microscopes are
engineered and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Your microscope will last a lifetime if
used and maintained properly. UNITRON® microscopes are carefully assembled, inspected and tested
by our staff of trained technicians in our New York facility. Careful quality control procedures ensure each
microscope is of the highest quality prior to shipment.
UNPACKING AND COMPONENTS
Your microscope arrived packed in a molded shipping carton. Do not discard the carton: the shipping
carton should be retained for reshipment of your microscope if needed. Avoid placing the microscope in
dusty surroundings or in high temperature or humid areas as mold and mildew can form. Carefully
remove the microscope from the shipping carton and place the microscope on a flat, vibration-free
surface.

DETAILED ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Mounting the Binocular Head (Fig. 1)
Loosen the clamping knob ③ on the focus
mount ④ and insert the binocular head and
zoom body assembly ② into the bracket of the
focus mount, then tighten the lock screw ③.
Mounting the Eyepieces (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3)
Remove the eyepiece dust caps ① (Fig. 1) and
gently insert the two adjustable eyepieces ⑤
(Fig. 2) into the eyepiece sleeves until they stop,
as shown in Fig.3. Replace the dust caps when
not in use.
IMPORTANT
ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS
1 Ambient temperature: 0°C to 40°C (32°F
to 104°F)，Maximum R.H：85%。
2 High temperature will result in moisture
and mildew and could damage instrument.
3 Avoid placing the instrument in a dusty
environment. When not in use, cover the
microscope with the dust cover.
4 Keep the microscope on a flat and stable
surface.

VOLTAGE CHECK
Confirm that the input voltage indicated on the
rear label of the microscope corresponds to your
line voltage. The use of a different input voltage
than indicated will cause severe damage to your
microscope.

ADJUSTMENT
AND OPERATION
Adjusting Binocular Viewing Head
Adjusting Interpupillary Distance (Fig. 6)
Different users have different interpupillary
distances (this distance is between the centers
of the pupils of each eye). When the operator
changes, it will be necessary to adjust the
interpupillary distance.
While looking through the eyepieces, hold the
left and right eyetubes of the viewing head and
adjust the eyetubes by opening or closing them
until the left and right fields of view coincide
completely and you are able to see a complete
circle.
Adjusting Diopter Ring (Fig. 7)
Set the dioptor rings ② of both eyepieces to “0”
position. (Do this when users change, because
different users will have different diopter
settings.)
UNITRON
®
Place an easy-to-observe specimen on the
stage plate, i.e., a coin.
Rotate the zoom knob ③ to the highest
magnification 5x, then turn the focusing knob ④
to focus the specimen.
Rotate the zoom knob ③ to the lowest
magnification 0.8x, looking only into the left
eyepiece, adjust the diopter ring on left eyepiece
to focus the specimen. Then repeat procedure
for the right eyepiece.
NOTE: The working distance (the distance
between the microscope objective to the top of
the specimen) of the microscope is 115mm, the
binocular head bracket ⑤ can be mounted onto
higher or lower positions according to your
needs by removing the clamping bolt with the
Allen wrench provided.

Focus Adjustment
Z850 STEREO MICROSCOPE
Adjusting the Rotation Tension of the
Focus Adjustment Knob (Fig. 8, Fig. 9)
To adjust tension, hold both left and right focus
adjustment knobs ① with both hands, hold the
left knob (to prevent it from turning), and rotate
the right knob clockwise to increase (tighten) or
counterclockwise to decrease (loosen) the focus
knob tension.
After tension adjustment has been completed,
always rotate both adjustment knobs in the
same direction.
Changing the Magnification
The zooming knobs located on both sides of the
zooming body will change the magnification of
the specimen image.
UNITRON
®
Total Magnification = Magnification of zoom
body x magnification of eyepiece
(i.e., 0.8 x 10=8x)
NOTE: If using any of the optional auxiliary
objectives, then the above magnification would
be multiplied by auxiliary objective magnification.
(i.e., auxiliary 0.5 x 8=4x)
Moving the Microscope (Fig. 10)
Before moving the microscope, be sure to
remove any slide/samples. When moving the
microscope, hold the stand and base as shown
in Fig. 10 to keep it level.

MAINTENANCE
Please remember to never leave the microscope with eyepieces removed and always protect the
microscope with the dust cover when not in use.
SERVICE
UNITRON® microscopes are precision instruments which require periodic servicing to keep them
performing properly and to compensate for normal wear. A regular schedule of preventative maintenance
by qualified personnel is highly recommended. Your authorized UNITRON® distributor can arrange for
this service. Should unexpected problems be experienced with your instrument, proceed as follows:
1. Contact the UNITRON® distributor from whom you purchased the microscope. Some
problems can be resolved simply over the telephone.
2. If it is determined that the microscope should be returned to your UNITRON® distributor or to
UNITRON® for warranty repair, pack the instrument in its original Styrofoam shipping carton. If you no
longer have this carton, pack the microscope in a crush-resistant carton with a minimum of three inches
of a shock absorbing material surrounding it to prevent in-transit damage. The microscope should be
wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent Styrofoam dust from damaging the microscope. Always ship the
microscope in an upright position; NEVER SHIP A MICROSCOPE ON ITS SIDE. The microscope or
component should be shipped prepaid and insured.
