6. Unpacking
The microscope is housed in a moulded Styrofoam container. Remove the tape from the edge of the container
and lift the top half of the container. Take some care to avoid that the optical items (objectives and eyepieces)
fall out and get damaged. Using both hands (one around the arm and one around the base), lift the microscope
from the container and put it on a stable desk.
Do not touch with bare hands optical surfaces such as lenses, lters or glasses. Traces of grease or other
residuals may deteriorate the nal image quality and corrode the optics surface in a short time.
7. Assembling
Once opened the box, the microscope parts are the following:

7.3 Assembling procedure
1. Remove the dust cap from the microscope frame
and from the bottom of the observation head.
2. Insert the optical head above the stand and tight-
en the screw ①. (Fig. 1)
• Hold the head with one hand during the
locking in order to avoid that the head falls.
3. Insert one end of the USB cable into the connec-
tor on the back of the optical head and the other
end into one of the USB ports on your computer.
4. Insert both eyepieces into the tubes of the optical
head. (Fig. 2)
• For model B-150D-MRPL: only one eyepiece
is used as this model is monocular.
5. Insert the power supply jack in the socket placed
at the rear side of the microscope. (Fig. 3)

7.4 Polarizing set (optional)
1. Place the polarizer on the light exit ①at the base
of the microscope. (Fig. 4)
2. Loosen the head xing knob ② and remove the
head from the microscope frame. (Fig. 5)
3. Insert the analyser into the hole inside the frame
③. (Fig. 6)

8. Use of the microscope
8.1 Light intensity adjustment
Operate on the light intensity adjustment dial ①to
turn ON / OFF the microscope and to increase / de-
crease the illumination voltage. (Fig. 7)
8.2 Coarse focus tension adjustment
• Adjust the tension using the provided tool.
The coarse knob tension is pre-setted in the factory.
1. To modify the tension according to personal’s
needs, rotate the ring ② using the provided tool
(Fig. 8).
• Clockwise rotation increases the tension.
• If the tension is too loose, the stage could go
lower by itself or the focus easily lost after ne
adjustment. In this case, rotate the knob in order
to increase the tension.
8.3 Stage
Stage accepts standard slides 26 x 76 mm, thickness
1,2 mm with coverslide 0,17mm. (Fig. 9)
1. Open the spring arm of the slide holder ③ and
place the slide from the front on the stage.
2. Gently release the spring arm of the slide holder.
• A sudden release of the spring arm could
cause the falling of the slide.
8.4 Adjust the interpupillary distance
Only B-150D-BRPL
Hold the right and left parts of the observation head
using both hands and adjust the interpupillary dis-
tance by turning the two parts until one circle of light
can be seen. (Fig. 10)
• The graduation on the interpupillary distance in-
dicator ④, pointed by the spot “.” on the eyepiece
holder, shows the distance between the opera-
tor’s eyes.
The range of the interpupillary distance is 48- 75 mm.
