Put the microscope stand on a

solid table.

First insert the incident illu-

mination attachment, using

the 2,5mm Allen wrench to

tighten the screw. All screws

are already inserted into each

threaded hole.

(Fig.1)

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.

Assembling

Once you open the box, these are the microscope’s components:

①Condenser

② Optical head

③ Main body

④ Eyepieces

⑤ Polarizer/Analyzer

⑥ Stage

⑦ Objectives

⑧ Extension Tube

⑨ Lamp house

⑩ External power supply

⑪ Incident illumination attachment

Insert the condenser under

the stage: push until it is well

inserted into its holder (under

the condenser there is a pin

that must fully enter the guide

of the holder). (Fig.6)

Insert the lamp house into the

extension tube, then use an

allen wrench to x it. (Fig. 4)

AFTER INSERTING THE

CONDENSER, TIGHTEN

THIS SCREW

Insert the optical head above

the attachment using the other

3mm Allen wrench to tighten

the screw. (Fig.2)

Insert both eyepieces into

the tubes of the optical head.

(Fig.5)

Insert the extension tube

on the rear of the incident

illumination attachment, then

use an allen wrench to x it.

Insert the power supply jack

on the connector at the rear.

Mount the stage: lower the

support using the coarse

focus knob, then place the

stage and rmly tighten the

lock screw. (Fig.7)

B-1000 illumination can be managed through

the keyboard placed on the left of the stand:

1) ON-OFF: press this button to turn on or off

the LED illuminator.

2) BOOST: press this button in order to incre-

ase the brightness (useful for high-magnica-

tion objectives or very opaque specimens).

2) AUTO-OFF: if you want the illuminator to

switch off automatically, press this button until

15, 30 or 60 minutes delay is set. After this

period of time, the light will turn off. You have

to press the ON-OFF button to turn it on again.

(Fig.12)

In order to activate the illuminator, insert the

plug of the external power supply into the

socket and turn on the main switch on the side

of the main body. Press the ON-OFF button on

the control keyboard and turn the brightness

adjustment knob to a brightness suitable for

observation. (Fig.13)

Do not enable boost mode while observing with

low magnication objectives (4x, 10x) with fully

open diaphgram: the high brightness may hurt

user’s eyes.

Loosen the lock-screw, turn

the observation head to

a comfortable position for

observation, and then lock the

lock-screw. (Fig.18)

Hold the right and left parts of

the observation head using

both hands and adjust the

interpupillary distance by

turning the two parts until one

circle of light can be seen.
