Starting up the microscope

Before installing and starting up the microscope, be sure to carefully read and observe the
notes on instrument safety (see Section 1).
Do not touch optical surfaces when unpacking the microscope to avoid fingerprints!
The microscope is supplied completely assembled and inclusive of accessories packed to commercial
standards. Additionally ordered components, such as sliders or transmitted-light equipment with
illuminating mirror, are packed separately.
• Remove the microscope from the transport case and place it onto the worktable.
Retain the original packaging for storage of the instrument in longer periods of non-use or for
return to the manufacturer.
• Remove the plug-in power unit (Fig. 3/2) from
its storage fixture on the back wall of the
microscope.
• Replace the installed power outlet adapter by
one of the supplied country-specific adapters
(Fig. 3/4), if necessary. To this end, pull off the
attached adapter and plug on the desired
adapter.
• Connect the plug-in power unit to a power
outlet.
• If the plug-in power unit cannot be plugged
into the chosen power outlet because of limited
space, replace the power outlet adapter by the
supplied IEC adapter (Fig. 3/3). This allows the
plug-in power unit to be put flat onto the
tabletop and connected to the power outlet
through a country-specific appliance cable.
When using the IEC adapter, the plug-in power unit can be fixed to the back wall of the
microscope stand by means of the supplied two self-adhesive hooks and the Velcro
• Turn on the microscope with rotary switch (Fig. 3/5) and adjust the illumination to the desired
intensity.
The selected intensity is indicated in five steps by the blue light-emitting diodes (Fig. 3/1) arranged on
both sides of the stand.
• At the end of the microscopic examinations, turn the microscope off with the rotary switch and cover
it with the dust cover.
• The smoothness of the coarse focusing drive (Fig. 4/18) is factory-adjusted. However, you can readjust
it when required.
