Preparing the microscope for use
Carefully remove the items from its packaging and place them on a flat, firm surface. Please do not expose the
microscope to direct sunlight, high temperatures, damp, dust or acute shakes. Make sure the table or surface is flat and
horizontal
When moving the microscope, use the left hand to hold the transport handle and hold the base of the microscope
with the right hand
Caution!
Hold the microscope at the top of the stand
arm when it is moved. Holding the microscope by its
stage or focusing knobs will damage the microscope
Caution!
If the bacterial solution or water splashes over
the stage, objective or head, pull out the power cord
immediately and dry the microscope
Assembling steps
We always try to keep the number of assembly steps as low as possible but in some cases there are some steps to be
taken. The steps mentioned below are often not necessary but described for your convenience nonetheless
Mounting the objectives
•
Rotate the coarse focusing knob to lower the stage to its lowest position
•
Install the objectives into the objective nosepiece from the lowest magnification to the highest in a clockwise
direction from the rear side of the microscope. When using the microscope, start using the low magnification
objective (4X or 10X) to bring your specimen into focus and then continue with a high magnification objective
to observe
Placing the eyepieces
•
Remove the cover of the eyepiece tube
•
Insert the eyepiece into the eyepiece tube
•
Lock the eyepieces with an Allen wrench
