9. SAFETY RACK STOP: When properly adjusted, controls maximum upward travel of stage. Prevents
higher power objectives from breaking specimen slides, prevents damage to objective lenses. This
stop has been pre-adjusted at the factory.
10. FOCUSING KNOBS: Focusing knobs located on each side of arm, raise or lower stage to bring
specimen image into focus. .
11. LED ILLUMINATIOR: Built-in substage LED illuminator provides constant, reliable pre-focused
illumination equal to a 20-watt tungsten bulb. Powered by 3 rechargeable AA nickel metal hydride
batteries, no power outlet or electric cord are needed.
13. ON/OFF SWITCH WITH RHEOSTAT INTENSITY CONTROL This turns microscope lamp on and
controls the intensity of the illumination.
14. RECHARGER: Automatic switching charger used to recharge batteries.
15. USB CABLE: Connects microscope & camera to computer. .
ASSEMBLY
1. Remove plastic covering from eyepiece tube. Using the 0.9 “L” type hex key wrench loosen (but do
not remove) the small hex socket set screw located beneath the top of eyepiece tube.
2. Unwrap eyepiece, making certain that lens surfaces do not come in contact with dust, dirt or
fingerprints. Damage to optical surfaces can result from such contaminants, and reduce image quality.
3. Carefully insert the WF 10 x eyepiece into eyepiece tube until it is fully seated on top of eyepiece tube.
Using the 0.90 “L” type hex key wrench slowly tighten the small hex socket set screw located beneath
the top of eyepiece tube. Socket set screw fits into special groove located on lower sleeve of
eyepiece. Tighten screw until you are unable to remove eyepiece from tube but allowing the eyepiece
to rotate.
OPERATION
Your microscope is fully functional as a standard microscope. The following instructions apply only to
operation of the microscope. Refer to the software instructions for operation of the camera. Some steps
for microscope operations are altered slightly in the software documentation, in order to utilize some of the
unique features provided by the digital camera and software.
1. Place microscope directly in front of you in a manner that permits you to comfortable look into the
eyepiece and easily reach the focusing controls.
2. It is recommended that you charge the batteries before initial use and after prolonged storage as the
batteries may have discharged. Plug output cord from battery charger into DC recharging socket
located on back of microscope base. Your automatic switching recharger operates on 100 to 240
volts AC 50/60 Hz. Plug recharger into your AC wall outlet. Battery recharger is also equipped with an
automatic “trickle charge” feature, the red LED indicator lamp located on recharger will be illuminated
when batteries are receiving maximum charge. After batteries are charged, the red LED indicator
lamp will turn to green and charger automatically switches to “trickle charge”. The charger can be left
plugged in, but for safety reasons it is a good idea to disconnect the charger from the AC wall outlet
and the output cord from recharging socket after 12 hours. Batteries and charger may feel warm
when charging, and unplugging the recharger is a safety precaution.
3. Your Digital LED microscope can be used during recharging. Simply rotate the ON/OFF switch and
rheostat control knob until the LED lamp is on and proceed as follows.
