Noottee::
Always disconnect the power cord from your microscope before handling the LED bulb and power unit and allow
the system approximately 35 minutes to cool down to avoid burns
•
Never touch the LED with your bare hands
•
Dirt or fingerprints will reduce the life span and can result in uneven illumination, lowering the optical
performance
•
Use only Euromex original replacement LEDs
•
Use of other products may cause malfunctions and will void warranty
•
During use of the microscope, the power unit will get hot; never touch it while in operation and allow the
system approximately 35 minutes to cool down to avoid burns

•
Dirt on, or inside the optical components, such as eyepieces, lenses, etc., affects the image quality of your
system negatively
•
Always try to prevent your microscope from getting dirty by using the dust cover, prevent leaving fingerprints
on the lenses and clean the outer surface of the lens regularly
•
Cleaning optical components is a delicate matter. Please read the cleaning instructions in this manual carefully

This product is a precision instrument and it should be used in a proper environment for optimal use
•
Install your product indoors on a stable, vibration free and level surface
•
Do not place the product in direct sunlight
•
The ambient temperature should be between 5 to +40°C and humidity is maximum 80% at 31 degrees
decreasing linearly to 50% at 40 degrees. Although the system is anti-mold treated, installing this product in a
hot, humid location may still result in the formation of mold or condensation on lenses, impairing performance
or causing malfunctions
•
Never turn the right and left focus knobs in opposite directions at the same time or turn the coarse focus knob
past its farthest point, this will damage the microscope
•
Never use undue force when turning the knobs
•
Make sure that the microscope system can dissipate its heat
•
Keep the microscope approximately 15 cm free from walls and obstructions
•
Never turn the microscope on when the dust cover is in place or when items are placed on the microscope
•
Keep flammable fluids, fabric etc. well out of the way

The S40x, S60x and S100x objectives are equipped with a spring mount, to prevent damage to the front lens and the
slide. The Numeric Aperture - N.A. – of the objective is an indication for the resolving power of the objective. The total
magnification can be calculated by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece with the magnification of the objective.
The magnifications are displayed in the table below:
