ASSEMBLING THE MICROSCOPE
1. Objectives
Lower the stage completely. Screw the objectives into the revolving nosepiece so that each clockwise
rotation brings the next highest magnification objective into position.
3.
Eyepieces
Use the same magnification eyepieces for both eyetubes. Remove the eyetube cover caps and discard.
Insert eyepieces into eyetubes. To lock the eyepieces, tighten the small clamping screws on the side of the
eyetube.
4.
Power Cord
Connect the socket of the power cord into the AC inlet on the rear of the base of the microscope. Plug in
the other end of the cord to an AC outlet with ground conductor.
5. Batteries
The microscope comes equipped with 3 rechargeable AA batteries. The rechargeable batteries are located
underneath the silver plate on the base of the microscope. To access/replace the batteries, remove all
screws in the corners of the silver metal plate. Once screws are removed, lift off metal plate and access
battery
compartment.
6.
Adjusting the Illumination
a.) Turn the main power switch to the on position.
b.) Adjust the light adjustment knob (1) until the illumination is comfortable for obeservation. Rotate the
knob away from you to increase the intensity and towards you to lower the intensity.
GETTING STARTED
1.
Coarse and Fine Focusing
Focusing is done with coarse and fine focus knobs at the left and right of the microscope stand.
The direction of vertical movement of the stage corresponds to the direction the focus knobs are
turned.
Never attempt either of the following actions, since doing so will damage the focus mechanism:
- Rotate the left or right knob while holding the other stationary
- Turning the coarse and fine focus knobs further than their limit.
