Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new AmScope microscope!

This manual is designed for the DAW double arm boom stand

Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the features and functions of your new

stand.

If you’d like more information on microscopes, parts, or accessories, please visit our website at:

www.iScopeCorp.com

We highly recommend you study this manual thoroughly before operating the microscope and

that you keep it on hand for future reference.

If you have additional questions or need assistance, please send us an email at:

Before

Use

Safety Precautions

As the microscope is a precision instrument, always handle it with care, avoiding impact

or abrupt movement during transportation. Do not shake the package.

Do not place the microscope in direct sunlight or in high heat. Keep it indoors in a dry

and clean place with temperatures between 32-100 degrees F (0-40 degrees C), and in

maximum relative humidity of 85%.

Avoid touching the lenses on the objectives and the eyepieces so that oil and dirt from

your fingerprints do not obstruct your view.

Before turning the power on, make sure that the power supply voltage is consistent with

the voltage of your microscope (for units with built in illumination).

Getting

Started

Assembly

First, take the styrofoam container out of the cardboard carton and lay it on its side, paying attention to which

side is labeled up. Remove the tape and open the container carefully so as to avoid dropping and damaging the

unit. Check carefully to ensure that all parts and accessories are intact.

Check the packing list to ensure that you’re received all items. Please note that this can vary depending on

which model you’ve purchased, and is generally listed on www.amscope.com at the items’ details page for your

specific model.

Remove the stand’s components from the styrofoam. Attach the foot joint to the base and secure using includ-

ed hex screws and allen keys.

Place the vertical pillar into the joint and secure, followed by the safety collar. Secure the collar before insert-

ing the horizontal boom arm.

Secure the boom arm, then insert and secure the drop down pillar.

Attach the focusing rack to the drop down pillar, and secure. Your stand is now complete and ready for any 3”

microscope head to be inserted.

Operation

Adjusting Focusing Tension

To adjust the tension of the focusing knobs, grab both sides of the focusing knob and twist them opposite of

each other.

To decrease tension, rotate in the opposite direction. Typically, adding tension is done by rotating the right knob

clockwise and the left counterclockwise, so the opposite would hold true if releasing tension (if it is too hard to

adjust the focal height, for example).

Note: If your focusing rack/head is slipping down, you need to increase the tension.

Maintenance/Precautions

All glass surfaces must be kept clean. Fine dust on the optical surface should be blown off using a hand blower or

gently wiped off with a soft lens paper tissue/nonabrasive lint free cloth.

Carefully wipe off oil or fingerprints on the lens surfaces using tissue moistened with a small amount of lens

cleaner (we recommend Sparkle brand optical cleaner).

Do not use Sparkle to clean other elements of the microscope. Use a neutral detergent on any plastic or painted

surfaces.

Do not assemble or disassemble the microscope’s electrical components yourself without advisement from one of

our technicians. Doing so will void your warranty unless by advisement of one of our technicians to do so.

After use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover.

Keep your AmScope microscope in a dry, clean location in order to prevent rust or other damages.
