2.0 INTRODUCTION

This microscope is a scientific 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.

Optika reminds you that this manual contains important information on safety and maintenance, and

that it must therefore be made accessible to the instrument users.

Optika declines any responsibility deriving from instrument uses that do not comply with this ma-

nual.

3.1 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.

3.2 Place the observation head onto the top of the arm and tighten the lock-screw. Insert the

eyepieces into the eye tubes.

3.3 Connect the provided 7,5Vdc power supply to the power supply input jack on the rear of the

microscope.

4.1 Adjust the observation head

Loosen the lock-screw, turn the observation head to a comfortable position for observation,

and then lock the lock-screw.

4.2 Place the specimen on the stage

Lock the specimen slide on the mechanical stage using the slide clamp. Ensure that the spe-

cimen is centred over the stage opening by adjusting the coaxial knobs of the stage.

4.3 Lamp settings

The microscope is fitted with power white LED illuminator. Before turning on the light, read

the section 5.3 about electrical safety precautions. Insert the plug of the 7,5Vdc power supply

into the jack on the rear and turn on the ON/OFF switch. Turn the brightness adjustment knob

to a brightness suitable for observation.

4.4 Adjust interpupillary distance

Hold the right and left parts of the observation head by both hands and adjust the interpupil-

lary distance by turning the two parts until one circle of light can be seen.

4.0 USING THE MICROSCOPE

4.5 Focus and diopter adjustment

Rotate the coarse focusing knob to bring the slide into focus using an objective with a low

magnification. Adjust the fine focusing knob to get the image sharp and clear while observing

with your right eye, then turn the dioptric adjustment ring on the left eyepiece until a sharp

and clear image can be observed also with the other eye. Turn the tension-adjust-knob to

get a suitable tension for the focus system. When the image is in focus, turn the nosepiece to

choose the objective you need.

4.6 Condenser adjustment

Hold the notched ring at the base of the condenser and rotate it up or down until you reach a

clear and uniform sample illumination.

4.7 Set the numerical aperture

Adjust the aperture of the iris diaphragm to set the numerical aperture of the illuminator, thus

controlling image contrast and resolution.

4.8 Additional filters

The green glass filter can be inserted in the flip-out filter holder underneath the condenser.

5.1 Microscopy environment

This microscope is recommended to be used in a clean, dry and shock free environment with

a temperature of 0-40°C and a maximum relative humidity of 85 % (non condensing). Use a

dehumidifier if needed.

5.2 To think about when and after using the microscope

• The microscope should always be kept vertically when moving it and be careful so that no

moving parts, such as the eyepieces, fall out.

• Never mishandle or impose unnecessary force on the microscope.

• Never attempt to service the microscope yourself.

• After use, turn off the light immediately, cover the microscope with the included dust-cover,

and keep it in a dry and clean place.

5.3 Electrical safety precautions

• Before plugging in the power supply, make sure that the supplying voltage of your region

matches with the operation voltage of the equipment and that the lamp switch is in off-

position.

• Users should observe all safety regulations of the region. The equipment has acquired the CE

safety label. However, users do have full responsibility to use this equipment safely.

5.4 Cleaning the optics

• If the optical parts need to be cleaned try first to: use compressed air.

• If that is not sufficient: use a soft lint-free piece of cloth with water and a mild detergent.

• And as a final option: use the piece of cloth moistened with a 3:7 mixture of ethanol and

ether.

Note: ethanol and ether are highly flammable liquids. Do not use them near a heat source,

near sparks or near electric equipment. Use these chemicals in a well ventilated room.

• Remember to never wipe the surface of any optical items with your hands. Fingerprints can

damage the optics.

• Do not disassemble objectives or eyepieces in attempt to clean them.

5.5 If you need to send the microscope to Optika for maintenance, please use the original

packaging.

The appliance reports the symbol:

This symbol means that the appliance can be a precious source of raw materials. Therefore, it must

not be disposed of as waste, but separately collected for the recycling and the recovery of the mate-

rials it contained in it. Such materials, if improperly dispersed into the environment, can be harmful

to the environment and to human health.

The producer of the equipment, Optika Microscopes, recovers, re-uses and recycles the raw mate-

rials contained in the equipment. Such recovery, however, needs your help.

When, at the end of its operating life, you shall decide to dispose of the apparatus, do not try to open

it, nor to use parts of it in ways other than reported in this Manual, but bring it back to the Distributor

you bought it from, or to other Optika Microscopes distributors. The Distributor shall collect the ap-

paratus free of charge.

The recovery of the raw materials shall then take place in accordance with the European Directive

2002 / 96 / EC and all other relevant Directives. Never disassemble, nor dispose of as waste, appa-

ratus reporting the “crossed bin” symbol indicated above.
