Motic AE30 User manual

We are constantly endeavouri

ng to improve our instruments and to adapt them to the requirements

of modern research techniques and testing methods. This involves modification to the mechanical

structure and optical design of our instruments.

Therefore, all descriptions and illustrations in this instruction manual, including all specifications are

subject to change without notice.

III Setting-up the Instrument

Working environment

•The location should be free from dust, moisture, chemical vapours and mechanical vibrations.

•Do not situate the instrument in a warm and/or humid environment.

•Locate the instrument where the operator’s line of vision is not directed towards a window, a lamp

or a well-lit.

bright wall. The quality of the viewed image from the microscope will deteriorate where there is

significant ambient light.

Operating environment

•Indoor use.

•Altitude:Max 2000 meters

•Ambient temperature: 15°C to 35°C

•Maximum relative humidity: Relative Humidity of not more than 75%

•Supply voltage fluctuations: Not to exceed ±10% of the normal voltage.

•Pollution degree: 2(in according with IEC60664)

•Installation/Overvoltage category:(inaccording withIEC606Ⅱ64)

•Air Pressure of 75kPa to 106 kPa

•No hoar frost, dew, percolating water, rain

IV Assembling the microscope Input voltage

•Automatic voltage selection works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, always use a power

cord that is rated for the voltage used in your area and that has been approved to meet local safety

standards. Using the wrong power cord could cause fire or equipment damage.

•In case of using the extension cord, use only the power supply cord with the PE (protective earth)

wire.

•In order to prevent electric shock, always turn the power switch on the power supply off before

connecting the power cord.

Power Cord

1Installing the lamp

•In order to prevent electric shock always turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord

before replacing the lamp.

•Release lamp housing cover clamp screw using a coin to remove the cover.

•Firmly insert the lamp into the socket pinholes until it reaches the limit, be careful not to tilt the

lamp when mounting.

•When installing the lamp, do not touch the glass surface of the lamp with bare fingers. Doing so

will cause fingerprints , grease, etc., to burn onto the lamp surface, reducing the illumination

provided by the lamp. If surface is contaminated, wipe it clean using lens tissue.

•Close the cover and fasten with it with lamp housing cover clamp screw.

•Insert the filter slider with mat surface of the diffuser turned towards the user.

2Mounting the condenser

•and index marks facing the front and secure it with the clamp screw.Mount the ELWD condenser

on the circular dovetail mount of the condenser holder with the aperture diaphragm lever

•Insert the Ph annular diaphragm slider with centering hexagonal socket head screws facing

the front.

•The centerable condenser mount is height adjustable with rack and pinion and is dovetail

mounted on the illuminating pillar with a clamp screw.

3Installing the Objectives

•Remove the stage plate insert from the stage.

•Install the objectives into the nosepiece so that the magnification increases with clockwise rotation

of the revolving nosepiece.

•Replace the stage plate insert.

4Mechanical Stage

•Secure the mechanical stage to the AE30/31 plain stage using the two mounting screws located

beneath the stage on the right side

5Mounting the eyepieces

•Remove the dust caps from the eyepiece tubes.

•Insert the eyepieces into the eyepiece tubes.

•If the rubber eye guards are to be used, fit them in the groove around the eyepiece.

VMicroscopic procedure Interpupillary distance adjustment

•Before adjusting the interpupillary distance, bring a specimen into focus using the 10x objective.

•Adjust the interpupillary distance so that both the right and left field of view become one.

•This adjustment will enable the user to observe the specimen with both eyes

1Diopter adjustment

•Diopter adjustment compensates for differences in vision between the left and right eyes. In

addition to making observation through both eyes easier, this adjustment also reduces the

extent to which focusing is lost when the objective magnification is changed. In particular,

this occurs when a low power objective is used.

•Before adjusting the diopter, bring a specimen into focus using the 10x objective.

•Turn the diopter compensation ring on each eyepiece until the adjustment ring is adjusted to

“0” position.

•Position 40x objective into the optical path and bring the specimen image into focus by turning

the coarse and fine focus knobs.

•Position either 4x or 10x objective into optical path. Without adjusting the fine and coarse focus

knobs, turn the diopter rings on the eyepieces so that the specimen images in the left and right

eyepieces are focused individually.

•Repeat the above step twice.
