INSTUCTIONS BEFORE USE:

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Be careful when unpacking, to prevent accessories such as lens fall cause damage.

2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity,

dust or vibrations. To ensure the objective table flat, level and sturdy enough(Weight: approx. 7

kg).

3. When moving the microscope, Always hold the body frame on both sides of the microscope with

hands.

4. The surface of microscope lamp housing will be extremely hot during use. Be sure to leave

enough distance around the lamp housing.

5. Connect the power cord correctly, to ensure that the instrument grounding, to avoid lightning

strike.

6. To ensure safety when replacing the light bulb, set the main switch to “O ” (OFF) then disconnect

the power cord from the wall outlet in advance. Allow the lamp housing and bulb to cool before

touching(Designated bulbs: 12V/50W halogen bulbs PHILIP 7027(R), 12V/20W halogen

bulbs(T)).

7. Use the power cord provided by our company.

2. Maintenance and Storage

1. All lenses are adjusted, please do not disassemble.

2. Instruments should be kept clean, often clean the dust, should be particularly careful not to

touch the optical parts.

3. To remove lens stains such as fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe with clean soft cotton cloth, lens

paper or gauze slightly moistened with No water (pure) alcohol (ethanol), xylene and ether.(Since

solvents such as ether, xylene and alcohol are highly flammable, they must be handled

carefully. Be sure to keep these chemicals away from open flames or potential sources of

electrical sparks -tr for example, electrical equipment that is being switched on or off. Also

remember to always use these chemicals only in a well-ventilated room.)

4. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than the

glass components. To clean them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted

neutral detergent.

5. If the microscope was liquid wet during using, immediately cut off the power and wipe dry.

6. Never attempt to disassemble any part of the microscope, it will affect the function of the

microscope or degrade the performance of the microscope.

7. Instruments should be placed in a cool, dry place, with a dust cover on the microscope when not

in use. when applied on the dust cap. Make sure the lamp housing fully cooled down before

covering.

2. APPLICATION

BS-6010(R)/(TR)metallurgic microscope configuration flat field achromatic lens, it has the function of

bright and dark field, polarized, differential interference, etc, also has excellent image quality.

Appearance design fully consider the ergonomics, easy to use, it becomes one of the favorite

microscopes of metallurgical microscope workers.

BS-6010(R/TR)microscope can be widely used to study the metallographic microstructure and some

opaque objects, also can provide metallographic analysis and research of metal, heat treatment, material

testing, steel and casting processes for research units, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing plants and

micro electronics enterprises and institutions of higher learning. BS-6010(TR)microscope not only can be

used to observe the opaque objects, but also transparent objects.

3. INSTALLATION

3-1 Installation Diagram

The following figure shows the the various components’ installation location of BS-6010 (TR) When

assembling the microscope, make sure that all parts are free of dust and dirt, and avoid

scratching any parts or touching glass surfaces.

Keep the provided hexagon wrench.You will use it when replacing components.

3-2 Installation Procedure

3-2-1 Disassembly of Transport Pressure Plate(fig.5)

To prevent vibration during transportation，focusing

mechanism have been fixed.Hold grooves on both sides

of condenser,pull it out,Use hexagon wrench to

remove the pressure plate.

Focusing mechanism

Pull out the condenser,the lifting mechanism is fixed

by a clamp, remove the screw and the pressure plate.

3-2-2 Installation of Reflective Brightfield/Darkfield

Illuminator

Place the illumination device (Fig. 6) on the head of the

Microscope，rotate to the proper position，tight the vertical

illuminator with the screw (1 in figure 6 ).

3-2-3 Installation of Binocular and Trinocular Tube

Install the binocular or trinocular tube in the illumination(Fig.6)，

rotate to the proper position, use hexagon wrench to tight

the screw (2 in figure 6 ) to fix it.

3-2-4 Installation of Objective

1.Adjust the coarse focusing handwheel, untill the

stage holder reach to the lower limit.

2. Wrest the minimum magnification objective on the

nosepiece from the left or right side, then rotate the

nosepiece in the clockwise direction, install other

objectives in the order of low to high magnification.

This method will make it easy to change the magnification

while using.

Reflective objective has been installed on the

revolving nosepiece at the factory, if you need to replace

the reflective objective, follow the procedures above

(For BS-6010TR)

Clean the lens regularly, the lens is very sensitive

to dust

Replace the objectives, rotate the nosepiece, until

a click is heard, in order to ensure that the required

objective engage the light path.

3-2-5 Installation of Lamp Housing

1. Loosen the 3 screws on the Brightfield/Darkfield

illuminator using S2 inner six angle screwdriver. Plug the axis of the lamp housing into the

hole of the illuminator, then tighten the 3 screws until the lamp housing can not rotate.(Fig.7)

Tube.

2. Insert the eyepiece into the eyepiece tube.

3. Using S2 inner six angle screwdriver to

screw up the tight screw of eyepiece gently,

to ensure the eyepiece can be adjusted properly

without be pulled out(Fig.8).

3-2-7 Installation of the Analyzer and Polarizer

When using simple polarized function, inserte the components of the analyzer and polarizer into the

groove of the vertical illuminator device, when the second click is heard, the analyzer and polarizer

engaged in the light path.(Fig.9).

3-2-8 Installation of DIC Attachment

Insert the DIC Attachment into the groove of the nosepiece until reach the bottom(Fig9).

The digital mark on the DIC Attachment must be matched with the same magnification objective.

3-2-8 Installation of Filter

Insert the filter into the groove of the vertical illuminator device, when the second click is heard, the filter

disengaged in the light path.

3-2-9 Connect the power cord

The power cord is vulnerable when bent or twisted. Never subject it to excessive force.

The electrical nameplate at the back of the microscope marked with input voltage, make sure that the

indicated input voltage is in accordance with your local power supply voltage. Otherwise, it will cause a

fire or serious damage to the microscope.

Turn off the power of microscope (the power main switch is set to "O"). Insert one end of the provided

power cord (socket) into the AC Input socket at the back of the microscope, the other end (plug) into the

grounding of the AC socket, to ensure the safety of the power connection (as shown in Figure 10).
