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.
