Locking the eyepieces
To lock the eyepieces in binocular models, please find the screw as indicated in picture (A). Please note that the
location can be slightly rotated.
The eyeshades (optional)
The eyepieces can be equipped with optional rubber eyeshades. These prevent damage to the lens and stray light. The
eyeshade can simply be slipped over the eyepiece
Connecting the power cord
The MSU-200 Series support a wide range of operating voltages: from 100 to 240 VAC Please use a grounded power
connection
•
Make sure the power switch is off before connecting
•
Insert the connector of the power cord into the power socket and make sure it connects well
•
Insert the other connector into the mains socket and make sure it connects well
Do not bend or twist the power cord,
it may get damaged. Use the power cord that is supplied by Cole-Parmer. If it is
lost or damaged, choose one with the same specifications
Replacement of the Power Cord
If the power cord requires replacement, ensure that it is suitably rated. If in doubt consult your local dealer or qualified
electrician
Operation
Setting up the illumination
For optimal contrast and resolution one should follow the below procedure:
•
Place a specimen on the object stage and focus using the 4x objective, with a fully opened iris diaphragm
•
Turn light intensity to lowest position, then look through the eyepiece(s) and turn up to a comfortable light
intensity level
•
Turn the condenser in the highest position
•
Close the iris diaphragm, until it is just visible on the edge of the field of view
The microscope is properly set for use with the 4x objective. For each other magnification in brightfield use, this
procedure should be repeated to ensure the best balance between contrast and resolution
Caution:
The maximum light intensity when using the 4x and 10x may cause damage to the eyes!
