ASSEMBLY 

 

1.  Remove the dust plug from the top of the monocular body and insert the WF10x eyepiece.  A knurled 

lock screw holds the eyepiece firmly in position.   

 
2.  Remove the dust plug on the side of the monocular body and insert the vertical illuminator assembly 

completely into the aperture.  A knurled lock screw will hold the vertical illuminator firmly in a position 
allowing easy access to the field diaphragm control lever and filter slot.   

 
3.  Thread the objectives into the revolving nosepiece, taking care not to touch the front lens surfaces. 

 
 
 

OPERATION 

 

Operation With Transformer 

 

Illumination should be obtained with the transformer (110-120v AC) except when an electrical outlet is 
not available or convenient. The transformer provides maximum illumination intensity. The bulb cord and 
assembly with the longer extension cord should be used when operating the illuminator with the 
transformer. The transformer yields variable intensity illumination. For most applications a low intensity 
setting will provide ample light and give longer bulb life. In general, use higher illumination intensities to 
provide short exposure times during photography or for examining poorly reflecting materials. Always 
turn the transformer “off” when the microscope is not in use. 

 

 
 

Operation With Batteries 

 

The illuminator may be operated by batteries for completely portable operation.    
 

NOTE

: Insert the metal battery spacer into each foot before inserting the batteries. 

 
Insert two AA batteries into each of the two roller feet. To install the batteries, unscrew the battery caps 
from the end of the roller feet. Insert two batteries and a metal battery spacer in one foot with all negative 
terminals facing the contact screw. Then insert two batteries and metal battery spacer in the other foot 
ensuring all positive terminals are facing the contact screw. Replace the battery caps into the ends of the 
roller feet and tighten the screws to make good electrical contact. 
 
The pins on the cord assembly insert into sockets located at the ends of the roll feet. There is no on/off 
switch for battery operation. Therefore, disconnect one of the pin plugs from a roll foot when the 
microscope is not in use. To avoid possible damage to the microscope roll feet because of battery 
deterioration, remove the batteries from the roll feet before storing the microscope or when continuous 
battery operation is not anticipated.
