Before Using

ⅠNotice

1. Do not let the microscope emerge in the sun directly,

either not in the high temperature, damp, dusty or

acute shake place. Make sure the worktable is

horizontal and hard enough. [Weight: about 9 KG(19.8

P), about 9.6 KG(21.2 P).]

2. When moving the microscope, you should use both

hands to hold its stand①and illumination holder②

(See fig.1 ), and lay it down carefully.

3. The power wire should be disconnected if the bacteria

liquor or water dropped on stage, objectives, or

observing tube. And make it dry as soon as possible.

Otherwise it would be damaged.

4. When working, the surface③(See fig.1 ) of the lamp

holder will be very hot. Make sure there is enough

room (especially above it) for the heat dissipating.

5. Connect the microscope to the land to avoid lightning

strike.

6.Make sure the switch④ is “

○

” (disconnected) and the

power is off when changing the bulb or the fuse. It

would be better to do so after cooling the bulb and the

lamp holder.

★ Lamp selected only: 6V/30W HAL bulb (Philips

5761)

7. It can adapt wide voltage from 90 to 240V. There is no

need for transformer. Make sure the voltage is in this

range.

8. Use the special wire supplied by our company.

Ⅱ Maintenance

1. Wipe the lens gently with a soft lens tissue. Carefully wipe off oil or fingerprints on the lens surfaces

with tissue moistened with a little of 3:7 mixture of alcohol and ether or dimethylbenzene.

★ Alcohol and ether are flammable. Don’t place these chemical near to fire or fire source. For

example, when turning on or turning off the electric device, you should use these chemicals in a

ventilated place.

2. Don not uses organic solution to wipe the surface of the other components. Please use the neutral

detergent.

3、If the microscope damped by the liquid, you should cut off the power immediately and wipe it dry.

4. Never disassemble or service the microscope yourself. It will influence its function or damage it.

5. After using, cover the microscope with a dust cover.

★ Before assembling, make sure there is no dust or dirt. Assemble carefully and do not scrap any part

or touch the glass face.

★ Preserve the hexagon spanner, and it will be used when changing the parts.

Assembling step

2-2-1 Assemble and change the bulb (See fig.3)

◎ Lamp selected only: 6V/30W HAL bulb (Philips

5761)

★ Don’t touch the bulb with finger. If there is a

fingerprint, wipe it with clean and soft cloth.

1. Hold the bulb ① with clean glove or gauze and

insert the pins ② to the jack ③. Make sure the

bulb is vertical. (See fig.1)

★ Insert the bulb gently, or it will damage.

2. Change the bulb

The bulb will become very hot when using or after

using. Whenever replace the bulb, cut off the main power

(make sure the power switch is “

○

”, disconnect the

power wire) and wait until the lamp holder and bulb cool

down.

2-2-2 Assemble the transmission illumination

groupware (See fig.4)

1. Unbolt the screw③ on transmission illumination

groupware①, and then insert the groupware into the

holder as figure shows.

2. Rotate the groupware① in clockwise 90°to face

“AS” on color filter holder④ forward. Meet the

bolt hole, which for screw③, to the counter bore⑤.

Then fix them with hexagon spanner.

2-2-3 Assemble the lamp holder (See fig.5)

◎ Insert the plug① to the socket② on the lamp

holder. Then meet the bolt③ to the bolt hole④,

and insert the lamp holder into the illumination

groupware.

2-2-4 Assemble the objectives (See fig.6&fig.7)

1. Rotate the coarse focusing knob ①, until the

condenser is in low-limit location.(See fig.6)

★ The condenser is set to the lowest location when

exworks, to make the instrument safe in transit.

Please turn the adjusting ring② of the coarse

adjustment knob to the proper tension. (See fig.6)

2. Install the objective into the microscope nosepiece

from the lowest magnification to the highest in a

clockwise direction from the rear.

◎ It is easy for use according to doing this assemble

method.

◎ It could be also assembled by aperture on the stage.

★ Clean the objectives periodically, cause the

inverted microscope objective is sensitive.

★ Cover the hole on the condenser with the dust

cap③ to avoid the dust and the dirt. (See fig.7)

★ Search and focus the sample by low magnification

objective(4X or 10X) when using the equipment.

Then change to the high magnification ones

according as the situation observation requires.

★ Turn the condenser when changing the objectives,

and make sure the objective is shift in the light

path until here a “click”.

2-2-5 Assemble the Stage extension board/

Attachable mechanical stage (See fig.8)

◎ Stage extension board could assemble on both left

and right to extend the work stage. But the stage

extension board and the attachable mechanical stage

can not use at the same side.

◎ Attachable mechanical stage generally assembles on

the right. It would be operated more comfortably to

do so.

1. Assemble stage extension board

Screw the lock-screw ① on the stage extension

board, then screw it from bottom right or bottom left,

and use small tools to screw it down till the board is

fixing firmly.(See fig.8)

2. Assemble attachable mechanical stage

Assemble it as the stage extension board.

Fig 8

2-2-6 Circular central stage (See fig.9)

1. Assemble the metal stage① on the stage aperture.

◎ Turn the metal stage to face V② to the user. It is

easy to make sure the objective.

2. Just lay glass stage flat when using it. There is

special direction.

2-2-7 Assemble Eyepiece (Fig10)

1. Take off the cover① of eyepiece tube.

2. Insert the eyepiece② into the tube thoroughly.

2-2-8 Assemble the color filter (Fig 11)

★ Make sure the color filter is completely cool

down before changing it. Take down the filter

holder①, and put in the color filter② which is

needed.

◎ Downward the color filter as③, make it vertically

in the bottom.

★ It would be fallen down from the filter holder if

the color filter is inclined or not in the bottom

as④.

◎ Color filter can overlap on the color filter when

needed, but the thickness must no more than

11mm.
