START-UP AND OPERATION
3.1
Starting up the Microscope
3.1.1
Setting up the Microscope
Before installing and starting up the microscope, be sure to carefully read and subsequently
observe the notes on instrument safety (see Section 1).
The microscope is supplied completely assembled and, inclusive of its accessories, packed to commercial
standards.
The accessories and individual microscope components (such as sliders, filters or phase stops, specimen
holders, specimen guides or the stage enlargement plates) are delivered in separate packages and must
still be mounted to the microscope.
•
Take the microscope out of the transport case and put it on the worktable, using the handle on the
back of the stand. Do
not
hold the microscope on the front side by the eyepiece part, but by the neck
of the stand between the eyepiece part and the stand base or at the front and at the back of the
stand base.
Retain the original packaging for a longer storage of the microscope or its return to the
manufacturer.
3.1.2
Screwing in the Objectives
•
Remove the dust caps from the location holes
of the nosepiece (Fig. 3/
2
).
•
Screw the objectives (Fig. 3/
1
) in ascending
order into the location holes until the stop is
reached.
•
Affix the supplied stickers (Fig. 3/
3
) indicating
the objective magnification, to the
corresponding positions of the nosepiece.
Recommendation:
Affix the stickers so that you can read
from the left side (Fig. 3/
3
) the
magnification of the objective just
positioned in the light path.
