Basic microscope settings
Prior to operating the motorized
focusing drive for the first time ensure
that the lower mechanical end stop
(Fig. 30/
6
) has been adjusted (see
The microscope is connected and switched on.
1.
Place a specimen in the center of the round
insert plate (Fig. 30/
9
). Switch on the
illumination.
2.
Ensure that the aperture diaphragm (Fig. 30/
8
)
is completely open. To do this, briefly press or
turn the knurled screw.
3.
Adjust the diopter-setting ring on focusing
eyepieces (Fig. 30/
10
) if known, otherwise set
it to "0".
"0" to the white dot (without eyepiece
reticle) "0" to the red dot (with
eyepiece reticle), see Fig. 32.
Check that the eyepieces are
completely housed in the tube.
4.
Adjust the interpupillary distance by turning
the eyepiece sockets (Fig. 30/
11
) and
1
), i.e. when looking into the eyepieces
with both eyes only
one
unclipped circle of
light (object field) should be visible.
In order to see only
one
circle of light
when looking into the eyepieces, a
distance of approx. 2 cm must be
maintained between the eyes and the
eyepiece.
5.
Set the zoom (Fig. 30/
7
or Fig. 31/
5
) first of all
to the smallest level of magnification.
6.
Focus on a prominent detail in the center of
the specimen (Fig. 30/
5
4
).
7.
Set the maximum zoom value (Fig. 30/
7
or
5
). Due to the magnification it is likely
that the prominent detail is out of focus again
and off-center.
8.
Search for the detail by moving the specimen
and precisely re-focus on it (Fig. 30/
5
or
4
).
