1. Warning

This instruction manual is for the assembling, troubleshooting and maintenance of the multi-head

discussion systems B-510-2F / B-510-2 / B-510-3 / B-510-5. The assembly sequence is identical for

all systems.

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. 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.

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 barehands opticalsurfaces such as lenses, filters or glasses. Traces

of grease or other residuals may deteriorate the final image quality and corrode the

optics surface in a short time.

7. Assembling

1. Install the microscope body as indicated in the

specific instruction manual.

Do not install the observation head.

2. Place the splitter attachment of the

multidiscussion system and tighten the lock

screw on the right side. (Fig. 1).

3. In order to use the arrow which will be used as a

pointer, connect the 5Vdc power supply to the

rear socket of the splitter attachment. (Fig. 2).

Now use the pointer joystick ①or the pointer

intensity controller ②to adjust the position and

intensity of the pointer. (Fig. 1)

4. Begin to place the connection tubes on both

sides of the splitter attachment. Firmly screw the

black ring nut. (Fig. 3-4).

Every connection is identified by a letter

printed on both sides of the connection.

Make sure to match the letters in order to

correctly assemble the microscope.

5. Insert the second part of the extension tube (Fig.

5).

6. Fully insert the second extension tube in the right

position. Using the provided Allen wrench (small

one) lock the fixing screws ①to block the

extension tube

At the end of the first extension tube there

is a lens (Fig. 6). Make sure it is free from dirt,

dust or other contaminants before to proceed

with the assembling of the second extension

tube.

7. Adjust the height of the multi-head holder.

Loosen the base fixing knob ②, unscrew the

base ③in order to reach the desired height,

then lock the knob. (Fig. 7). Make sure that each

extension tube is perfectly horizontal.

8. Insert the binocular heads, matching the reference

letters (Fig. 8).

9. Insert the provided eyepieces (WF10X/20) into

binocular heads. (Fig. 9)

10. Repeat all the above operations for each

observation point.

11. Install the trinocular head over the splitter. (Fig.

8. Use of the microscope

Moving the pointer (Fig. 11)

1. By moving the pointer joystick ①it is possible to

change the position of the light arrow visible

inside the eyepieces.

2. This pointer is used by the teacher to indicate the

issue under discussion.

Changing the pointer color (Fig. 12)

3. Press the color selection ②button placed on the

left side of the splitter in order to change the color

of the pointer. Several pressing allowthe cyclical

changing of the color in this sequence: RED

GREEN BLUE OFF. (Fig. 12).

Changing the intensity of the pointer (Fig. 13)

4. Rotate the pointer intensity controller ③to

change the intensity of the pointer. Adapt the

intensity according to the specimen under

observation.

9. Maintenance

Microscopy environment

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

temperature of 5°-40°C and a maximum relative humidity of 75 % (non condensing). Use a

dehumidifier if needed.

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 provided

dust-cover, and keep it in a dry and clean place.

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.

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.

For the best results, use the OPTIKA cleaning kit (see catalogue).

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

10.Troubleshooting
