3. Maintenance and Service
The Technical Microscope RMA 5 and its
supplemental equipment are service-free over a
long period of time, assuming normal use. In the
case of continual use (shift operation) and
especially in the case of unfavourable
environment conditions (dust, etc.), the unit
should be serviced when needed in the
following ways.
Before any servicing of the equipment, the
power supply should be disconnected.
Please be carefully with all optical parts. A
damage of these part will cause aberrations or
not sharpen images.
All loose parts, e.g. preparations, filter or so on
have to be removed from the microscope.
3.1. Changing the fuse
Warning: Do not adjust inadvertently the mark of
the main voltage!
3.1.1.
The fuse of the microscope
RMA 5
is
located in the base of the microscope. To
change the fuse you have to put the microscope
on the back and you have to open the base
plate carefully with a slotted bolt turner.
The defect fuse is to be replaced with a new
fuse (delay fuse 100mA for 115V to 230V).
After that the base plate can be closed and
saved with a screw again and the microscope
can be set up.
3.2. Care of components
3.2.1. The dioptre rings are unscrewed, those
threads easily greased and by repeated and
movement of the dioptre rings it is all greased
evenly. When mounting the rings, ensure that
their marks agree with the index lines on the
eyepiece connecting piece.
3.2.2.
Eyepieces, tube and interchangeable
objectives
should be cleaned regularly with a
soft hair brush. In addition these parts should be
removed from the equipment and all accessible
optical parts should be carefully cleaned. Each
attempt to disassemble the objective will cause a
complete adjustment error of the objective.
Optics and lenses can be cleaned by a
cleaning tissue for optics. Medical alcohol is
recommend as cleaner.
3.2.3. In case the
microscope
isn’t in use you
should cover the microscope with the delivered
protective cover.
3.2.4. We recommend to use antifriction
bearing grease of middle consistency for
lubricating the slide faces of the sliding stage.
Lightly lubricate both faces in regular time
intervals with this grease. Before doing this,
carefully remove the old grease with a grease
dissolver.
