MA2202F Fluorescent Bulb 

 

To replace a bulb, you must first turn the power off and unplug the 
microscope’s electrical cord from the electrical socket

 and remove 

any slides on the stage. Carefully turn the microscope on its side, 
unscrew and open the hinged cover. A cable tie is used to secure the bulb 
to the bulb socket and must be cut and removed. Make sure the bulb is 
cool and remove it by carefully pulling the bulb out of its socket. Insert 
the new bulb by seating the bulb firmly into the socket. The bulb should 
not need further alignment. Another small cable tie can be used to 
secure the bulb to the socket if the microscope is going to be moved 
around often.    Close the hinged cover and tighten the screw to hold the 
hinged cover closed. 

 

MA2215 LED 
 
To replace an LED, you must first turn the power off and unplug the 
microscope’s electrical cord from the electrical socket

 and remove any 

slides  on  the  stage.  Use  the  small  allen  wrench  (.09mm)  that  was 
included  with  the  microscope  to  loosen  the  set  screws  that  hold  the 
black illuminator housing onto the base of the microscope. Remove the 
illuminator housing to expose the LED. Simply pull the LED straight up to 
remove it from the light socket. Align the 2 metal socket pins with the 
holes at the bottom of the new LED and push the LED onto the socket. 
Re-install the illuminator housing.   

 

 

COMMON PROBLEMS IN MICROSCOPY 

 

CAUTION 

– Never disassemble mechanical or optical components. This 

servicing should only be done by an authorized Swift technician. The 
Limited Lifetime Warranty will be null and void if the mechanical or 
optical components are disassembled by a non-Swift dealer. 
 

A.    PROBLEM – 

No Illumination

 

 
        CORRECTION -   

  1. Is the power plug connected to an active A.C. outlet? 
  2. Is the on/off power switch working properly? 
  3. Check the bulb. Try a new bulb if you have one. 
  4. Check the contact points of the bulb and socket
