USER NOTICE

Ⅰ.Safety Precautions

1. Carefully open the box, avoid the accessories, like lens, 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. When running, the lamp house and nearby parts will be very hot. Please ensure

there is enough cooling room for them.

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

6. 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 (designated bulb:. 24V/100W halogen

lamp)

7. Use the factory supplied power cord, please.

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, so

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. (Note that the alcohol and the xylene are all burned easily, do

not let them near the fire, and use them in a drafty room as possible as you

can.)

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.

2-1 Assembly Diagram

The diagram below shows how to assemble the various components. The numbers

indicate the order of assembly.

 When assembling the components, make sure that all parts are free of dust and

dirt, and avoid scratching any parts or touching glass surfaces.

 Keeping the hexagon- spanner well, when change the spare parts, you will use

it.

2-2 Detailed Assembly Procedure

2-2-1 Installing the Polarizing Stage

Support Device

1. Before installing the device, be sure to

adjust the coarse focus knob①. Make

the guide board② (see figure 1) down

to the lowest position, so you can

install the mechanical stage support

device easily.

2. Hold on the mechanical stage support

device (figure 2), place it from the top

of the guide board (figure 1), and let

the device (figure2) falling free until it

reach the limit position. Use the

hexagon wrench screw down the

locking block ③to make the stage

support device and the guide board

fixed together.

2-2-2Mouting Revolving Round

Stage

1. Loosen the centering knobs④。

2. Position the stage with the venire scale

⑤in front, and carefully lower the stage

onto the round dovetail on the stage

bracket⑥ with the positioning pin on

the stage aligned with the groove on the

front of the stage bracket, then loosely

tighten the centering knobs④. Turn the

stage to check it is mounted properly,

finally tighten the centering knob.

Mounting Stage Clips

Insert the stage clips securely into any two

holes⑦ on the stage top surface.

 Mounting Polarizing Ruler

Insert the positioning pins on the underside

of the ruler into the positioning holes⑧ on

the stage surface, using the Allen

screwdriver provided with the microscope

frame, tighten the clamping

screw.

2-2-3 Installing the Objective

1. Adjusting the coarse focus knob until the support

device of the mechanical stage reach its low limit

position.

2. Insert the 10X objective into the primary hole

(which without centering holes on its sides) on the

nosepiece, then push the nosepiece clockwise and

install other objectives by the sequence of low to

high magnification ( figure 5).

 Installing objective in this way will make the

change of magnification to be easier while in

using.

 Clean the objective regularly as it 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.

2-2-4Mounting reflected illumination system

(Fig.6)

1. Mount the Illumination System① into the round

dovetail on the head of the microscope body

properly and use the Allen screw driver to tighten

the set screw② to fix it.

2-2-5 Mounting Bertrand lens unit (Fig.6)

1. Mount the Bertrand lens unit③ into the round

dovetail on the reflection Illumination System①t

properly and use the Allen screw driver to tighten

the set screw④ to fix it.

2-2-6 Mounting trinocular viewing head (Fig.7)

1. Mount the trinocular viewing head⑤ onto the

illumination system properly and use the Allen

screw driver to tighten the bolt⑥）to fix it.

2-2-7 Installing the Video Port (Fig.7)

Insert the video port ⑦into the trinocular viewing head, then screw down the bolt⑧ to

fix it.

2-2-8 Installing the Eyepiece (Fig.7)

Insert the eyepiece into the eyepiece tube until they are against each other.

2-2-9 Installing the lamp house

1. Push the lamp house into the illumination kits (Fig. 8)

gently until they are against each other, turn to a proper

position and then screw down the bolt①to fix it.

2. Insert the power plug② into the power jack of the

microscope③/④, and screw down the bolt to fix it.

For transmitted light illumination, the power jack③ is

used. For reflected light illumination, the power jack④ is

used.

2-2-10 Mounting Polarizer and Analyzer

1. Insert the polarizer⑤ into its slot with the silkscreen

surface toward the front and make it in the light path

center.

2. push the analyzer⑥ into its slot.

NOTE: the polarizer and analyzer are engaged when

pushed in to the second click-stop position. To

disengaged the polarizer and analyzer, and to place the

empty hole in the light path, pull the analyzer out to the

first click-stop.

2-2-11 Mounting Test Plate Compensator

1. Insert the optical compensator⑦ into the test plate

adapter, and securely tighten the clamping knob⑧,as

shown in fig.9.
