4. Installation

4.1 Installation Condition

4.1.1 The required input voltage: 100V-240V, 50/60HZ

4.1.2 Alcohol, gasoline and paper all are burnt early, please take them

away from the lamp.

4.1.3 The halogen lamp: 12V/20W, G4

4.1.4 The microscope should be used in environment of indoor

temperature 0°-40°C and maximum relative humidity 85%.

4.1.5 Please pay attention to prevent microscope from violent shake and

vibration in application and in carrying. Don’t drag it on the surface of

worktable to avoid damage to microscope and worktable.

4.2 Installation

4.2.1 Please confirm the installation condition meets 4.1;

4.2.2 Put out the main body and place it in table, and loose the main body

fixing screw, then put the cost cover out;

4.2.3 Put out the intermediate, fix it into the main body, then tighten the

main body fixing screw; If it is Transmitting & Reflecting Polarizer

Microscope, put out the reflecting illumination unit to fix it.

Installation of reflecting illumination unit: Put out the halogen lamp

house, fix it onto the back of reflecting illumination unit by the fixed screw,

connect the power wire of halogen lamp house into the power output

socket of power house.

4.2.4 Fix the head into the intermediate;

4.2.5 Insert the eyepieces into the tubes;

4.2.6 Put out the dust cover of the nosepiece, and turn the coarse focusing

knob to lower the stage, and find the objective hole with yellow mark in

the nosepiece. Fix the 10X objective into the hole, and turn the nosepiece

clockwise, fix the other objectives as per the power.

4.2.7 Loose the condenser lock thumb and fix the condenser.

5. Operation

5.1 Turn the power switch and the potentiometer to adjust light to be

available;

5.2 Fix the sample on the stage, and move it into the path;

5.3 Turn the nosepiece to put 10X objective into light path, and turn the

focus knobs to get clear image.

5.4 Confirm the polarizing vibrancy direction

The polarizing vibrancy direction has set to be at west-east in factory

when the scale of the polarizing is 0°.

5.5 Check polarizing and analyzer

The field should be dark completely (when there is no sample) when the

scale of polarizer and analyzer is 0°. Please check the position of the

-8-

polarizer and the analyzer if not so.

5.6 Choose the complementary slip as per the sample, then insert into the

slip.

5.7 Put into the Bertrand Lens Slip in the condition of polarizing;

5.8 Adjust the center of the stage.

5.9 Adjustment for round stage rotating center

The rotating axis of the round stage should be in the same line with the

axis of optical system. When rotating the stage, the sample’s center would

coincide with view field’s cross division line intersection point, and image

should move around cross division line intersection point in circular

motion, image should always in the view field. If not, accurate data can’t

be got, and the operation can’t be done correctly, especially for high

power objective.

Adjusting Details:

5.9.1 After getting clear image, choose one image point ( I ) at the

observational position, then moving mineral sample , making I in cross

division line’s point, and it is the center of field (mark: O1 ).

5.9.2 Stage must rotate at least one circle, if actual rotating center (mark:

O) isn’t coincided with field center O1 , image point I will do circular

motion around stage rotating center O .

5.9.3 The angle from rotating stage to initial position is 180°, point I will

move from O1 to the full distance position , the symmetric point to point O.

Adjusting the stage focusing screw, point I will move to point O, then

move mineral sample gently, make point I coincided with field center O1 .

5.9.4 Rotating stage one circle again, if image point I isn’t off point O1, it

means point O has coincided with point O1, then the center adjustment is

finished. If not, please repeat step2 , 3, 4.
