i. Caution

1. Do not discard the microscope container. The container should be retained should

the microscope ever requires reshipment.

2. Keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, and dusty

environments. Ensure that the microscope is located on a smooth, level and firm

surface.

3. If any specimen solutions or other liquids splash onto the stage, wipe up the

spillage immediately. Otherwise, the instrument may be damaged.

ii. Care and Maintenance

1. Do not attempt to disassemble any component including eyepieces, objectives or

focusing assembly.

2. Keep the instrument clean; remove dirt and debris regularly. Accumulated dirt on

metal surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. More persistent dirt should be

removed using a mild soap solution. Do not use organic solvents for cleansing.

3. The outer surface of the optics should be inspected and cleaned periodically using

an air stream from an air bulb. If dirt remains on the optical surface, use a soft cloth

or cotton swab dampened with a lens cleaning solution (available at camera stores).

All optical lenses should be swabbed using a circular motion. A small amount of

absorbent cotton wound on the end of a tapered stick makes a useful tool for

cleaning recessed optical surfaces. Avoid using an excessive amount of solvent as

this may cause problems with optical coatings or cemented optics or the flowing

solvent may pick up grease making cleaning more difficult.

4. Store the instrument in a cool and dry environment. Cover the microscope with the

dust cover when not in use.

3. Operation

3.1 Placing specimen

Place the specimen on the center of the stand base, just under the objective.

3.2 Focusing

1) Loosen the tightening knob on the focusing block and move the block up or down so

that the distance between the objective and base surface is around 90mm. Then

tighten the knob.

2) Turn the zoom ring to its lowest position (0.7x).

3) Adjust the focus knob until the specimen is in focus. Then move the specimen

slightly and carefully so that the observing area is in the eyepiece filed of view.

4) Adjust the zoom ring to zoom the viewing in or out.

5) Adjust the focus knob if necessary.

Note: the ring light rack may interfere with the focusing movement. Move the ring light

rack if necessary.

5. Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom Cause Remedy

Stains or dust on

the field of view

Stains or dust on the eyepieces or

objectives Clean the lens with a camera

cleaning kit

Stains or dust on the specimen Clean the specimen

Can not focus

The focus block/objectives is too far

away or too close to the specimen

and out of the range of focus stroke

Adjust the height of the viewing head

so that the distance between the

objectives and specimen is about

90mm.

The ring light rack interfere with the

moving part of the focusing block Moving down the ring light rack

Image moves

while focusing Specimen rises from stage surface Secure the specimen
