1. Warning

This microscope is a scientic precision instrument designed to last for many years with a minimum of maintenance. It

is built to high optical and mechanical standards and to withstand daily use. We remind you that this manual contains

important information on safety and maintenance, and that it must therefore be made accessible to the instrument users.

We decline any responsibility deriving from incorrect instrument use uses that does not comply with this manual.

2. Safety Information

4. 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 dam-

aged. 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.

5. Intended use

Standard models

For research and teaching use only. Not intended for any animal or human therapeutic or diagnostic use.

IVD Models

Also for diagnostic use, aimed at obtaining information on the physiological or pathological situation of the subject.

6. Symbols and conventions

1. Put the microscope base ①at on the workbench. (Fig. 1)

2. Align the holes of the connecting plate ② of the stand column

with the holes of the microscope base.

3. Use the provided xing screws to connect the base and the

column rmly.

9. Using the microscope

9.1 Adjusting interpupillary distance

1. Hold the right and left eyepiece tube with both hands and ad-

just the interpupillary distance by moving the two parts until

one circle of light can be seen. (Fig. 6)

• If two circles appear, the interpupillary distance is too big.

• If two overlapped circles appear, the interpupillary distance

is too small.

③④

9.2 Diopter compensation

• This compensation makes possible for people wearing

glasses to adjust the microscope to their eyes and use

the microscope without glasses.

1. Put the zoom down to the lowest magnication ① and focus

the specimen with the focusing knobs ②. (Fig. 7)

2. Put the zoom to the maximum magnication and repeat the

focusing.

3. Return to the lowest magnication: the specimen will be out

of focus.

4. Adjust the diopter compensation ring of the right eyepiece

③ (Fig. 8) until the image of the right eyepiece is clear and

sharp. Repeat the procedure for the left eyepiece ④.

5. Check the focus of the image for the whole zoom range. It

should be perfectly parfocal (focus is maintained during the

change of magnication).
