Thank you for your purchase of a Richter Optica microscope.  The information in this manual is provided to answer most 

questions that can arise when operating your microscope and to help you avoid unnecessary maintenance expenses in 

the future.

Please carefully read instructions before operating microscope. Nomenclature used to describe components and controls 

are identified on opposite page.

UNPACKING

Do not discard styrofoam container or packing materials until you are sure shipment is complete and undamaged (retain 

stryrofoam shipping container to store your microscope when it is not in use).  Remove all tape and packing material used 

to protect microscope during shipment.  Make certain lens surfaces do not come in contact with dirt, fingerprints or oil.  

Damage of lens surfaces occur when they come in contact with such contaminants, and image clarity is reduced.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS

 

A. 

EYEPIECE: Lens closest to the eye.  Magnifies the primary image formed by the objective lens.

 

B. 

OBJECTIVE LENS: Lens closest to the specimen, forms the first magnified image of the specimen.

 

C. 

NOSEPIECE: Revolving turret designed to hold objective lenses, permits changes of magnification  

 

 

by rotating different powered objective lenses into the optical path.

 

D. 

MECHANICAL STAGE: Device that holds slide in place and can be moved front-to-back and left-

 

 

to-right by adjusting one of two knobs on the right side of the microscope.

 

E. 

STAGE: Platform of the microscope where the specimen slide is placed on the stage.

 

F. 

IRIS DIAPHRAGM: Adjusted by moving lever on condenser open or closed to let more light

 

 

through condenser. Adjust this lever when changing magnification.

 

G. 

COARSE-FOCUS KNOB: Located on each side of the arm, raises or lowers the stage to bring the  

 

 

specimen stage into focus.

 

H. 

FINE-FOCUS KNOB: (located in center of coarse focusing knobs) permits more precise image    

  adjustment.

 

I. 

LAMP HOUSE ILLUMINATION: Microscope is provided with a built-in LED illuminator.  

 

J. 

SAFETY RACK STOP: When properly adjusted, controls maximum upward travel of stage. Prevents  

 

 

higher power objectives from breaking slides, prevents damage to objective lenses.  This stop has  

 

 

been pre-adjusted at the factory and will not need any further adjustment.
