This microscope is a scientific precision instrument designed to last for many years with a minimum of main-

tenance. 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.

Safety guidelines

This manual contains important information and warnings regarding safety about installation, use and

maintenance of the microscope. Please read this manual carefully before using the equipment. To

ensure safe use, the user must read and follow all instructions in this manual. OPTIKA products are

designed for safe use in normal operating conditions. The equipment and accessories described in

the manual are manufactured and tested according to industry standards for safety instrumentation

laboratory. Misuse can cause personal injury or damage to the instrument. Keep this manual at hand

close to the instrument, for an easy consultation.

Electrical safety

Before connecting the power cord to wall outlet, ensure that your mains voltage for your region corre-

sponds to the voltage supply of the instrument, and that the illuminator’s switch is in position OFF. The

user must observe the safety regulations in force in his region. The instrument is equipped with CE sa-

fety marking, in any case the user has full responsibility concerning the safe use of that instrument.

Warning/Caution symbols used in this manual

The user should be aware of safety aspects when using the instrument. Warning or hazard symbols

are shown below. These symbols are used in this manual.

The instructions on this symbol to avoid possible severe personal injuries.

Warning of use; the incorrect operation on the instrument can cause damages

to the person or instrument.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

This microscope is a scientific precision instrument designed to last for many years with a minimum of main-

tenance. 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 manual.

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 (objecti-

ves 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 microsco-

pe.

3.0 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

Connect the mains plug into the socket at the base

Make sure, before you turn the illumination on, that the voltage selector is set to the mains voltage for

your region.

The power cord should be used only on network sockets equipped with adequate grounding.

Contact a technician to check the state of your electrical system. If there is no need to install additional

accessories, the instrument is now ready for use. Once positioned and installed with the necessary

components, the microscope is ready to be used. Your microscope is a laboratory instrument desi-

gned to last. Handle it always carefully and avoid abrupt vibrations or shocks. Always disconnect the

power cable from the microscope when not in use for long time, while you clean it or when you perform

any maintenance.

AVOID DISASSEMBLING THE INSTRUMENT

Do not disassemble the instrument. This entails the cancellation of the warranty and may cause

malfunction.

4.0 USING THE MICROSCOPE

HOLD THIS

NOTCHED RING

AND ROTATE IT

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 specimen 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 interpupillary distan-

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

4.5 Focus and diopter adjustment

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

cation. 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 conden-

ser 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.

4.9 Photo and video capture

To use a camera, for photo or video capturing,

connect it to the trinocular tube using the proper adaptor. Please refer to the camera

manuals for further details.

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.
