Construction of the microscope:
Objectives:
All objectives are produced accor-
ding to DIN-standard. The 40x
objective has a spring mount to
avoid breakage of specimens and
objective. The three-hole objective
revolver makes it easy to change
between the different objectives.
Focusing knobs and stage stop
adjustment:
The two adjustment knobs for coar-
se and fine focussing are placed on
both sides of the microscope. The
biggest knob is used for the coarse
adjustment and the small knob is
used for the fine adjustment.
A vertical finger screw is placed
behind the stage. When the lock
nut is loosened it is possible to turn
the finger screw, and thereby settle
the upper limit of the stage move-
ment. This protects the specimen
from touching and/or damaging the
objectives. The stage stop adjust-
ment (specimen protection) will
also make it easier to focus fast.
The microscope is delivered with a
pre-set stage stop adjustment and
it should therefore not be required
to make further adjustments.
Stage:
The specimen is placed on the
stage by pressing down on the two
stage clips and then placing the
specimen under them. The spe-
cimen can be moved by pushing it
gently with your fingers.
Condenser and iris diaphragm:
The condenser has a built-in iris
diaphragm with a little handle for
adjustment. The adjustment of the
iris diaphragm is important to obta-
in a good image. Closing the iris
diaphragm decreases the light but
increases the contrast and depth of
sharpness of the image. Adjust-
ment of the iris diaphragm might be
necessary when switching between
objectives.
Bulb:
The bulb is placed in the lamp hou-
sing (the black tube). It is a bayonet
bulb 220 V / 20 Watt.
Fuse:
The fuses are mounted at the rear
side of the main microscope body.
