USING THE CONTROLS
4-1 Base

Using the Stage Plate
In reflected light observation, the stage plate can be placed either the
white or black side facing up.
# Win transmitted light observation, use the transparent glass stage
plate (SP-C).
2
Placing the Specimen
1. Place the specimen on the approximate center of the stage plate. Hold
the specimen with the specimen holder as required.
2. Illuminate the specimen with an illuminator selected according to the
specimen under observation.

Adjusting the Tension of the Coarse
Focus Adjustment Knob
(Fig. 4)
}This operation is intended to facilitate the rotation of the knobs while
preventing the spontaneous drop of the microscope body. It is
recommended to set the knob tension to a slightly higher level than the
point where spontaneous drop occurs.
If the knobs are hard to move because of the weight of option modules
and/or TV camera mounted on the microscope body, it is recommended
to use the focusing assembly for heavy load (SZX2-FOFH).
# The tension of the coarse focus adjustment knob can be adjusted
with the tension adjustment ring @. Do not rotate the knobs on the
left and right in opposite directions, for this will damage the internal
mechanism.
1. Rotate the tension adjustment ring @ by inserting the Allen screwdriver
³ into the hole ² on the ring periphery.
Rotating the ring clockwise increases the tension of the coarse focus
adjustment knob, and rotating counterclockwise decreases it.
# If the microscope body falls down by its own weight or the focus
obtained by fine focusing is lost immediately, the tension adjustment
may be too light. In this case, rotate the ring clockwise to increase
the tension.
# If the tension adjustment is too tight, delicate focusing will be
impossible and the knob may be damaged. Particularly, to prevent
damage, never rotate the fine focus adjustment knob quickly while
its tension is extremely tight.
