Use Notices A10.1018

I、Safety Note

1. Carefully open the box, avoid the accessories, dropping to ground and being damaged.

2. Do keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, dusty and easy

shaking environment. Make sure the stage is smooth, horizontal and firm enough.

3. When moving the instrument, please use two hands to grip with the two sides of the

microscope body.

4. If the bacterium solution or the water splash to the stage, objective or viewing tube, pull out the

power cord at once, and wipe up the microscope. Otherwise, the instrument will be damaged.

5. When running, the lamp house and nearby parts will be very hot. Please ensure there is

enough cooling room for them.

6. Make sure the instrument is earthed, to avoid lighting strike.

7. For safety, be sure the main switch is in “O”(off) state before replace the halogen lamp or the

fuse, then cut off the power, and do the operation after the lamp bulb and the lamp house

completely cool.

8. Check the input voltage: be sure the input voltage which signed in the back of the microscope is

consistent with the power supply voltage, or it will bring a serious damage to the instrument.

II、Maintenance

1. All the lenses have been well checked and adjusted. It is forbidden to disassemble them

yourself.

2. The nosepiece and coarse/fine focus unit have a compact and precise frame, please don’t

disassemble them as possible as you can.

3. Keep the instrument clean, wipe dust regularly, and be attention to avoid contaminating the

optical elements especially.

4. The contaminations on the prism, as finger mark and oil, could be gently wiped with a piece of soft

cloth or tissue paper, gauze which has been immersed in pure alcohol or xylene.

5. Don’t use organic solvent to wipe the non-optical elements, when you need to clean, use the

soft detergent, please.

6. When using, if the microscope is splash by liquid, cut off the power at once, and wipe up the

moisture.

7. Do not disassemble any parts of the microscope. That will affect the function or decline the

performance of the microscope.

8. Place the instrument in a cool, dry position. After using the microscope, remember to cover it

with dust helmet. Do wait for the lamp house cooling completely before cover.

2. Installation Steps A10.1018

2.1 Installing the Mechanical Stage Support Device

Before installing the device, be sure to adjust the coarse focus knob. Make the guide board (see

figure 1) down to the lowest position, so you can install the mechanical stage support device

easily.

Guide Board

Locking Block and Bolt

A10.1018

Hold on the mechanical stage support device (figure 2), place it from the top of the guide board

(figure 1), let the device (figure2) falling free until it reach the limit position. Use the hexagon

wrench screw down the locking block; make the stage support device (figure1) and the guide

board fixed together.

The mechanical stage have been adjusted horizontally and fixed together before leaving

factory. Do not disassembly unless necessary, that may affect the observation precision

of the instrument.

2-2-2 Installing the Trinocular Viewing

Unit

Insert the trinocular viewing unit (figure4) into

the microscope head (figure5), turn to a

proper position, then use the hexagon wrench

screw down the bolt to fix ( See figure 5 ).

2-2-3 Installing and Replacing the

Lamp (figure 6)

Please use the specified halogen Lamp

6V30W.

1．Hold to the bulb after you wrap it with gauze

or other protection materials, and then

deeply insert it into the lamp holder.

2. Replacing Lamp when using or soon after

When using, or soon after it is turned off, the

lamp, the lamp house and nearby parts will

be very hot and will cause serious burns.

Please turn the main switch on “O”(off), pull

out power plug, and make sure the bulb, the

lamp room and periphery are all cool. Then,

you can do your replacing.

Please insert the lamp gently, or it will be

damaged by excessive extrusion

Do not touch the Halogen bulb with your

bare hands. It will shorten the service life

or cause it to burst. If you leave finger

marks on the surface carelessly, clean it

with a dry soft cloth.

Bolt

Lamp House Bolt

2-2-4 Installing the Lamp House

Keep the bolt on the lamp house (figure 6) in

line with the jack on the back of the microscope

(like the show of figure 7), then pushing the

lamp holder into the illumination kits gently until

they are against each other (figure 8).

2-2-5 Installing the Objective

1. Adjusting the coarse focus knob until the

support device of the mechanical stage

reach its low limit position.

2. Wresting the lowest magnification objective

onto the nosepiece from the left or the right

side (figure 9), then push the nosepiece

clockwise, then place other objectives by

the sequence of low to high magnification

( figure 10).

Installing objective this way will make the

change of magnification to be easier while

in using.

Clean the objective regularly, the objective of

the inversed microscope is very sensitive to

dust.

When operating, use 10×magnification

objective to search specimen and focus

firstly, then replace with higher

magnification objective if necessary.

When replacing the objective, slowly

turning the nosepiece until you hear

“clicked”, that means the objective enter

the required position--the light path center.
