the precision for image will be reduced.

1.1Holdthecurveandkeepthemicroscopeinbalance

1.2 Do not hold the focusing knob, eyepiece tubes and stage

as these parts are movable. Troubles maybe caused by such handles.

Do not make specimen or filters fall off.

2. Working Environment

As microscope is a precision instrument, improper using will make it unworkable or reduce its precision.

2.1 Do not expose the microscope in the sun directly

2.2 Temperature range is 0℃～40℃and the max. humidity is 85%

2.3 Avoid high temperature and humidification otherwise there will be fog or mold on the lens

2.4 Avoid violent vibration as the vibration will reduce the image’s quality

2.5 Place microscope on a stable plane and keep it in balance. Keep the environment breezy and cover the

microscope with the dust-cover

2.6 Do not place microscope in moist room to avoid short circuit. Please turn off the power supply as soon

as water drop in the microscope. If there are other things unsafe come into the microscope may cause short

circuit too, please stop using and contact with manufacturers

3. Focusing knob

Never turn the left and right focusing knob in the adverse

direction at the same time. Do not turn the coarse focusing

knob when the stage reaches max. position. These improper

operations will make focusing structure unworkable.

4. Clamp

Input voltage in the label: 220～240V 50/60Hz

Working voltage could be AC 110V, 120V, 220V, 230V or 240V

7. The bulb, fuse and electronic cord have been assembled already in the factory and please make sure to

use the spare parts of them supplied by the manufacturers. Improper bulb, fuse and electronic cord will

destroy microscope and cause fire. Please make sure to use PE electronic cord when using extra-long

electronic cord.

Spare bulbs: halogen bulb 12V/20W (or 12V/30W)

Spare fuse: 250V 1A delayed model, 5 ×20 mini type fuse

8. Never touch the surface of bulb with your hand directly. Please use gloves or cloth material when you

mount the bulb to avoid leaving fingerprints. Fingerprints or stains should be wiped off with a tissue

moistened with a small amount of alcohol. The fingerprints will etch on the bulb’s surface and make

brightness lower and life cycle shorter.

Please make sure the bulb’s touching points are Ok as it will not light or short circuit if the bulb’s touching

points are damaged. Insert the bulb’s legs into the bulb holder firmly. The bulb will go out if its legs have

not been inserted into the holder firmly. Such Operation may cause short circuit or smoking. At last, please

make sure if the collector has been mounted properly

9. Temperature for illumination

There will be high temperature when the bulb is lightened, never move the collector when the bulb is

lightened. Do not touch the bulb within 30 minutes after it has been gout out. Make sure the bulb has been

be cooling enough time (at least 30 minutes) to avoid scald.

Do not put fiber, papers and incendive things (eg. Gasoline, aether, methanol and ethanol) close to the bulb.

10. Make sure to turn off the power supply before assembling microscope, replacing bulb or fuse.

11. Using small amount of oil immersion is enough. The redundant oil will adhere to stage or condenser

and these will reduce microscope’s performance.

Get rid of the redundant oil or clean the lens by using aether or pure alcohol according to this instruction.

Nomenclature

﹡Total magnification

Total magnification = Eyepiece’s magnification ×objective’s magnification

﹡Numerical aperture (N.A.)

N.A. value will affect resolution and image’s brightness, it is the leading parameter for objectives. N.A.=

n×sinα

n stands for refractive index of the medium between objective and specimen or condenser (air or oil

immersion)

αstands for half angle of max. aperture angle in the axis

The image will be sharper and brighter when the N.A. value is bigger

﹡Resolution

Resolution can be measured by the distance value from one point to another one which could be

distinguished on the object surface

BestScope International Limited

Resolution = λ / ( 2 ×N.A.)

λ stands for wavelength ( λ = 0.55μmm)

﹡Eyepiece view field

The max diameter measured when the diaphragm is open. 10X/20 means the magnification is 10X and

the max diameter of view field is 20mm

﹡Effective view field

Liner view field which is observed on the object surface

Effective view field = eyepiece view field / objective’s magnification

﹡Depth of field

Depth of field stands for depth of the space in which there is sharp image on the object surface. Depth

of field will be longer when the diaphragm reduces. Depth of field will be shorter when the N.A.

becomes bigger.
