Using the polarization system
The analyzer is used together with the polarizer for studying the optical properties of
substances:
Push the corresponding lever
(1.6)
to put the analyzer into the light path.
Push the polarizer lever
(1.3)
to put this into the light path.
Turn the polarizer lever
(1.3)
, while observing through the eyepieces until analyzer and
polarizer are orthogonally positioned.
Photography
The trinocular tube allows coupling a photograph camera to take images of the obser-
ved samples. For this purpose, the microscope presents a rod to direct light (1.5) with two
positions:
Outwards: the 100% of the light reaches the eyepieces for sample observation.
Inwards: the 100% of the light reaches the trinocular tube for taking images.
If you are not using the microscope for a long period of time please make sure it is dis-
connected from the net and protected from dust (this way you will avoid accidents and
will extend its working-life).
Security
The microscope must be used by previously qualified staff that knows how to operate
it thanks to the user manual.
Put the microscope in a horizontal plane stable table, having a safety area of at least 30
cm per side.
Do not place the microscope near any warm supply (burners, blowlamps, etc), nor
expose it directly to the sun. Avoid vibrations, dust and dry environments.
During operation dangerous materials such as flammable or pathological substances
must be out of the working area.
When you are not using the microscope for a long period of time please make sure it is
unplugged from the net in order to avoid possible accidents.
It is essential to have the equipment switched off and unplugged from the net before
cleaning, checking components or replacing any piece (e.g. replacement of a fuse).
Never try to repair the microscope by yourself, since you will lose the warranty and
may provoke damages to the general operating system or the electrical installation, as
well as injuries to the people that usually handle the equipment (burns, hurts…).
Made under the European regulations for electrical security, electromagnetic compati-
bility and security on machines.
5. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
