* NB. Stains in the field of view may also be attributed to dirt on the inside of the eyepiece. It
is recommended therefore that the lens be cleaned by a recognised service technician.

focus
The head drops down
Adjust the tension of the
coarse focus knob
Moving the microscope
●
If possible, avoid moving the stereomicroscope.
●
Carry the stereomicroscope in both hands. One hand should hold the stereomicroscope column
(18), and the other should support it under the base (11).
●
Maintain the stereomicroscope in a vertical position.
Repair
If the stereomicroscope needs repairing by authorised personnel, we recommend that it be stored
in its polystyrene box and returned to the distributor. Attach a note with a description of the
problem.

All Motic microscopes are warranted against any manufacturing defect for a 5 year period.
Damage occurring as the result of any unauthorised repair work, or occurring through misuse or
modification of the microscope will not be included under the conditions of the warrantee. Bulbs
and fuses are not under warrantee.
