6. Operation

Operation

1. Insert the eyepiece into the eyepiece tube and revolve the objectives into the

nosepiece in sequence of magnification.

2. Place the specimen in the center of the stage, keeping the cover slip upward, and then

nip it with the specimen holder.

3. Search the image by lower magnification objective, turn the longitudinal and transversal

adjustment knobs which on the mechanical ruler to move the specimen onto the center of

the field of view. Then replace with higher magnification objective, turn the fine focusing

knob to sharpen the image.

4. When using 100X oil objective, add the cedar oil between the objective and specimen.

You

should be aware of the cleaning procedures to be used after the use of oil. Wipe oil

from the oil immersion objective, and from any other parts in need of cleaning. Clean lenses

immediately with xylene after use. Leaving oil on the lens may lead oil to seep behind and

harden on the inside of the lens.

★

obtain a bright and clear image, it is import to adjust the illumination system. The

condenser position and the iris diaphragm size should match with objectives of different

magnifications. Turn the condenser focus knob to shift the condenser. It needs to raise the

condenser when using the high magnification objective, and to decline when using the low

magnification one.

★The aperture diaphragm is used to adjust the numerical aperture instead of brightness.

Generally, setting the size of the aperture diaphragm at 70% ～80% of the numerical aperture,

you can obtain a clear image with enough contrast.

★For observing a batch of specimen of the same type, use the limit bolt to locate general

position of the stage to simplify operation. In this way, the specimen can come into focus

rapidly just by turning the coarse focusing knob.

Note:

Note: specimens of the same type means they are same in the thickness of slide, cover

slip and specimen slice.

7. Maintenance

Maintenance

1. Carefully open the box, avoid the accessories, like lens, dropping to ground and being

damaged.

2. All the lenses have been well checked and adjusted. It is forbidden to disassemble them

by user self.

3. The nosepiece and coarse/fine focus unit have a compact and precise frame, so please

don ’ t disassemble them as possibly as you can.

4. Keep the instrument clean, wipe dust regularly, apply a little non-corrosive grease in the

sliding parts and be attention to avoid contaminating the optical elements especially.

during previewing.

3）Special design color database, we can associate the parameters of the color to the

database, and can store or delete the color scheme.

4）Various image measurement tools, including line, angle, rectangle and circle, can move,

delete or set the color of the objects. And you can also burn all the objects into the image

for further using.

5）Basic image operations like other similar software are included in the Image menu. You

can adjust the image at ease.

6）Image flip function, include horizontal flip and vertical flip of the active image, and rotate

90 degree, 180 degree, 270 degree or any angle degree of the captured image.

7）Image Zoom: Contain image zoom in, zoom out, 1:1.

Attention:

When launching the software, there will be several seconds displays as black preview, please

don ’ t worry, it is normal, because the camera needs time to do some pretreatment, to ensure the

stable working of the camera. The same reason for the recording, when you begin to record, it will

displays as black preview for several seconds, and when the images display normal, the

recording begins.
