Keep the microscope at temperatures between 0C – 40C / 32F – 104F, maximum humidity 85%.

Do not place the instrument in direct sunlight or under direct indoor light. This environment can influence the
quality of the specimen imaging.

ASSEMBLY
Some minor assembly may be required. If required,
1)
Remove the microscope base from the packing material. Remove the microscope head from the packing
material and place in the focus block (ring holder). Tighten locking nut to secure the head in position. Most
Omano stereo microscopes have rotatable heads so you can view the microscope from either side of the
stand. Simply rotate the head through 360° and tighten the locking nut. If using a pole microscope, you can
rotate the entire head and focus block, which is useful for viewing larger specimens that do not fit on the stage.
