Auxiliary objective (table
is omitted)
2), electric index:
Input voltage: 220V/50Hz
or 110V/60Hz( Optional)
Illuminating style:
1)
natural light.
2),
incident light of bowl shaped halogen lamp 12V/10W, transmitted illuminator is
the same as the incident
3,
incident light of bowl shaped halogen lamp 12V/10W, transmitted illuminator is
the same as the incident, with light dimmer for both illumination.

The above 5 illumination
styles are optional.
3, structure index:
Slanting 45 ° binocular
head of 360 degrees rotatable.
Left and right eyepiece
diopter adjustment +/- 5 ° , inter-pupillary distance adjustable 54—76mm .
optional auxiliary
objective with adapter (M48x0.75)
4, How to use: Refer to
the names of parts if you would like to know them:
1)
environment
requirement: Dry dust free room temperature between –5---+40 degrees Celsius.
2)
Illuminator
control:
Plug
in the power cord into the outlet. Refer to the following table for
illumination styles. For microscopes with dimmer control the brightness of the
illuminators can be adjusted.
3)
Select the
stage:
1),
The frost glass stage is placed on the base and is fixed with a screw, It is
used when a transparent specimen is being observed, please use transmitted
illuminator.
2)
Black and white stage is kept in the packing as an accessory. When it is to be
used, take off the glass stage and place the black and white stage on the base.
Normally the white side is upward. If the specimen is white or in other bright
colors, use the black side to improve the contrast with only incident
illuminator.
4)
Placement
of specimen:
Place
the clean specimen in the center of the stage and fix it with clippers if
necessary.
5),
Use of rubber eye-guard:
One pair of rubber eye guards is contained in the
packing. They are used to prevent the extra light from
entering the eyepieces, to improve visibility.
6)
Focusing, diopter, interpupillary adjustments:
Place a specimen onto the stage. Loose the body
locking thumb screw and hold the microscope head and move the body up and down
to fix it at the estimated working distance. Rotate the zooming knob while
looking through the right eyepiece until you see the image. Using the focusing
handles to get the sharpest image of the specimen. Then look through the left
eyepiece with your left eyes and turn the diopter adjustment ring until you get
an image as sharp as the right side. Make this adjustment without moving the
focusing handle. Then grasp the right and left prism housing and move them
closer or father apart in order to match your pupil distance. Adjustment is
proper when the field of view becomes comfortable and presents a full single
field. If you want to change the magnification you can turn the objective case.
Loosen the body locking screw the body is 360° rotatable. You can observe the
microscope at any position.
7, Use of auxiliary
objectives:
auxiliary objectives of
0.75X, 1.5X, 2X can be screwed in directly at the tip of the objective cases.
Because of the long working distance of the 0.5X objective, long pole should be
used before it is used. (Please refer to optical index III).
Replacement of lamp and
fuse:
Warning: Disconnect the power line and cool
down the bulbs before you change the lamp or fuse.
1, Replacement of the
incident lamp:
Loosen the fixing screw of the shade and take off
lamp. Replace the bulb with a new one. Plug in the feet of the lamp back to the
holder and fix it with the same screw.
2, Replacement of the
transmitted lamp:
Loosen the fixing screw of the glass stage and take off the glass. Take
off the broken bulb through the stage hole and install a new one.
3, Replacement of the
fuse:
The fuse case is located at the back side of the base. Unscrew the fuse
case cover and put in a new one.
6, Maintenance and general care of your
microscope:
1, Microscope is a
delicate precision instrument and it may be damaged by dropping and hitting.
2, Do not keep microscope
under sun. It should be kept in a dry and clean environment and avoid heat and
strong tremor.
3, To obtain clear image,
do not touch lenses with your finger.
4, All lens surface should
be kept clean. If the lens get dusty blow off the dust with a rubber syringe.
If necessary clean the lenses with a lint free cloth dipped in aether.
5, Do not use any organic
material to clean the microscope surface, especially the plastic surface. It
should be cleaned by neutral detergent.
6, Because the assembly of
all parts has been done by skilled optical craftsmen at the factory, you should
never attempt disassembly.
7, Apply a little bit
grease regularly to the mechanical parts.
8, When not in use always
cover the microscope with the dust cover and place it in a cool and dry place.,
7,Optional parts:
1, eyepieces: WF5X, WF10X,
WF15X, WF20X
2, auxiliary objectives:
0.5X, 0.75X, 1.5X, 2X
3, Dark field stage, Jewel tweezers,
particularly for jewel inspections.
4, Ring lamp: The fluorescent lamp is
fixed by 3 screws on the outside surface of objective case. It can be a
substitute of traditional incident lamp because it is evenly lighted and the
light is brighter and softer and more comfortable to use.
