3 PREPARING THE MICROSCOPE
Unpack the microscope and place it on a table. Take out the
main body and observing tube, connect them together, and
then use the attached Allen wrench to tight the observing
tube lock screw.
The objectives 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x objectives are pre-
assembled with this microscope.
Plug in the power plug and switch on the microscope. Now sit
comfortably in front of the microscope to use it.
4 FUNCTIONS OF THE MICROSCOPE
The stand consists of observing head, base and table. You
can grip the microscope by the lifting handle during transport.
Binocular or trinocular head
The head with the tubes can be rotated through 360° and is
equipped with two WF10x wide-field eyepieces. These are
marked with a spectacle symbol, because they are eyepieces
for spectacle wearers. This enables spectacle wearers with
glasses to perform microscopy without removing the specta-
cles.
Revolving nosepiece
The nosepiece is equipped with 4 achromatic objectives as
follows:
4x NA 0.13
10x NA 0.30
S40x NA 0.70
S100x NA 1.25 (oil)
The objectives 40x, and 100x are equipped with springs (S)
to prevent damage to the front lens and the microscope slide
and cover glass).
The numerical aperture (N.A.) of the objective indicates the
resolving power of the objective.
