Motic BA410 Series User manual

We are constantly endeavouring 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.

INFINITY CORRECTED OPTICS

In this optical concept the light beams are parallel after leaving the objective in the

direction of the eyepieces. A second optical element, the tube lens (normally located in

the eyepiece tube) is used to converge the parallel beams, resulting in an intermediate

image. The intermediate image is focussed by the eyepieces, to provide the real image

for visual observation.

The implementation of a tube lens gives the opportunity to minimize chromatic

aberrations and other “optical defects”. Further, in “Infinity Optics” the distance between

the objective and tube lens is not as strictly fixed as in the (historically older) “Finite

Optics” of 160mm tube length.

This allows additional optical components to be inserted between the objective and tube

head.

Fluorescence attachments, discussion bridges, eye level risers and other options can be

added without affecting the image quality.

In general “Infinity Optics” provides flexibility and the opportunity to add additional

optional features.

II. Setting up the instrument

Avoid placing the instrument in locations exposed to direct sunlight, dust, vibration, high

temperature, high humidity and where it is difficult to unplug the power supply cord.

Operating environment

yIndoor use

yAltitude: Max 2000 meters

yAmbient temperature: 15°C to 35°C

yMaximum relative humidity: 75% for temperature up to 31ºC decreasing linearly to

50% relative humidity at 40ºC

ySupply voltage fluctuations: Not to exceed ±10% of the normal voltage

yPollution degree: 2 (in according with IEC60664)

yInstallation / Overvoltage category: 2 (in according with IEC60664)

yAir Pressure of 75kPa to 106kPa

yAvoid frost, dew, percolating water, and rain

III. Assembling the microscope

Verifying Input voltage

yThe automatic voltage selection works with a broad range of settings. 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.

yIf using an extension cord, use only a power supply cord with a protective earth (PE)

wire.

yIn order to prevent electric shock, always turn the power supply off before connecting

the power cord.

yElectrical Specifications:

30W Halogen Bulb

Input: 90-240V~, 80VA, 50-60Hz

Bulb: 6V 30W Halogen

Fuse: 250V T2.5A (If the original fuse is blown, please replace with specified fuse)

1. Mechanical stage

yLoosen the stage clamp screw; fit the stage into the circular dovetail mount. An

orientation notch at the back of the stage has to fit to an orientation pin at the stage

carrier. Tighten with the clamp screw facing forward.

yTorque adjustment

The torque of the y-axis and x-axis travel knobs can be adjusted by torque

adjusting knobs.

For y-axis to (+) increase or (-) decrease the torque, turn Knob Y while holding A

For x-axis to (+) increase or (-) decrease the torque, turn Knob X while holding B

2. Specimen holder

yAttach the specimen holder, using the two mounting holes. If the stage is to be used

with right right-hand controls, attach the specimen holder to the left-hand holes and

similarly, with left-hand controls to the right-hand holes.

3. Objectives

yLower the stage completely. Screw the objectives into the revolving nosepiece so

that clockwise rotation of the nosepiece brings the next higher magnification objective

into position.

4. Condenser

yRaise the stage by turning the coarse focus knob.

yCompletely lower the condenser carrier by turning the condenser focus knob.

yInsert the condenser into the dovetail mount with aperture scale facing forward

towards the user. Secure it with the condenser clamp screw.

yTurn the condenser focus knob to raise the condenser as far as it will go.

5. Eyepiece tube

Loosen the eyepiece tube clamp screw. Insert the round dovetail mount on the

eyepiece tube into the round dovetail mount on the microscope arm. Tighten the

eyepiece tube clamp screw to secure the eyepiece tube in place.
