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.

7.6 Assembling the microscope

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

tighten the screw. (Fig. 1)

• Hold the head with one hand during the lo-

cking in order to avoid that the head falls.

Only for ALC models:

3. Connect the cable of the ALC (Automatic Light Con-

trol) system to the socket placed on the observa-

tion head and on the back side of the frame. (Fig. 2)

4. Insert both eyepieces into the tubes of the optical

head. (Fig. 3)

• For models B-151, B-152, B-153 and B-155:

only one eyepiece is used as these models

are monocular.

5. Insert the power supply jack in the socket placed

at the rear side of the microscope. (Fig. 4)
