Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of a Motic stereomicroscope. Motic stereomicroscopes are precision
instruments, subjected to meticulous examination to reach you in perfect condition. Their design
combines easy management and optimum functionality with minimum maintenance.
The information contained in this manual is likely to go beyond what the average user needs to
know to use the stereomicroscope, however, it is provided to answer any queries that may arise.
Stereomicroscopes are used to study three-dimensional objects, examine small objects, or dissect
biological specimens. They also permit the observation of slide specimens.
These instructions should be read carefully before operating the microscope. They will permit you
to use your new stereomicroscope to its fullest capabilities. Terminology used to describe
components and controls can be found in the diagram on page 2.
These instructions are based on the assembly and use of the SMZ-168 model with additional notes
specifically for the other models in the series.
