Assembly
The first step is to position the
microscope stand on a firm, level surface
.
The holder
is firmly attached to the pillar of the stand. You can then fit the
microscope head
to the holder, by passing the objective through the holder ring until
the rest of the head is above the ring.
Please see section 5.5 for more details on adjusting the stand.
The head must then be fixed in a suitable position, using the small screw on the right
of the holder ring.
Ideally it is then parallel on the central axis of the stand base
(see figure on page 10).
Both eyepieces are already fitted in the tube
. You just need to remove the
protective film which covers them.
When doing this make sure that you
do not touch the optical lenses with your
fingers
.
In general you should avoid using two eyepieces with different magnifications.
When
changing the eyepieces
, you must also loosen the
small silver screw
under
the eyepiece on the tube connectors and once the new eyepiece is fitted, then it must
be re-tightened.
With regard to the use of
transmitted light illumination
you must make sure that
the
frosted glass stand
inlay
is fitted in the centre of the stand base
, so that the
transmitted light can be used correctly.
Additional optional attachments:
The eye cups supplied with the microscopes can be fitted to the eyepieces.
