procedures ensure each microscope is of the highest quality prior to shipment.  
 
 

 

UNPACKING AND COMPONENTS 

Your microscope arrived packed in a molded shipping carton.

:  

the carton 

should be retained for reshipment of your microscope if needed. Avoid placing the microscope in dusty 
surroundings or in high temperature or humid areas as mold and mildew will form. Carefully remove the 
microscope from the Styrofoam container by its arm and base and place the microscope on a flat, 
vibration-free surface.   Check the components against the following standard configuration list:
