Microscope Set-up Guide
The Comparison Scope 2 compound microscope can be set up in a
matter of minutes. To get the most out of this amazing teaching tool,
follow these step-by-step instructions:
1.
Remove each microscope base from the package.
2.
Remove the plastic bag and plastic coverings from
the objective lenses and eyepieces.
3.
Place each microscope, with the arms of the
microscopes toward the back, on a flat, firm
surface with the “L” microscope on your left and the
“R” microscope on your right.
NOTE:
The serial numbers are located on the bottom base, designated
with an L (left base) or R (right base).
4.
Remove the bridge assembly and Seidentopf binocular
head.
5.
At the top of the head socket of each microscope base,
find three screw holes.
6.
Remove the “safety screws” in each hole using a small
screwdriver.
7.
Underneath the “safety screws” there are set screws.
8.
Using the provided small Allen wrench, turn
counterclockwise two or three full turns, until flush with
the inside rim of the head socket.
NOTE:
The points of these screws are initially visible, turn the screws
until they disappear.
9.
Place the bridge onto the two microscope bases with the
Ken-A-Vision logo facing towards you.
10.
Tighten the set screws so the bridge is locked tight, and
return the safety screws over the set screws to prevent
tampering.
11.
Remove the dust cover from the bridge assembly head
socket and turn the set screw on the right side
counter clockwise until the screw tip is flush with the wall
of the head socket.
12.
Place the Seidentopf binocular head into the socket,
sliding in from the right, until it is flush in the socket
opening. Tighten the set screw.
13.
Insert the eyepieces into the eyetube bodies.
