Using the microscope

Adjust the observation head
Loosen the lock-screw, turn the observation head to a comfortable position for observation, and then lock the
lock-screw.
Place the specimen on the stage
Lock the specimen slide on the mechanical stage using the slide clamp. Ensure that the specimen is centred
over the stage opening by adjusting the coaxial knobs of the stage
Lamp settings
The microscope is fitted with a white LED illuminator. Before turning on the light, read the section about electrical
safety precautions. Connect the external power supply into the socket at the base. Turn the brightness adjust-
ment knob to a brightness suitable for observation.

Adjust interpupillary distance

Hold the right and left parts of the observation head by both hands and adjust the interpupillary distance by turn-
ing the two parts until one circle of light can be seen.
Focus and diopter adjustment
Turn the dioptric adjustment ring on the left eyepiece to the zero position. Turn the coarse focus knob in order
to focus the slide with an objective with low magnification. Adjust the fine focus knob until you obtain a clear and
defined picture observing with the right eye, and then act on the left dioptric compensation ring observing with
the left eye. When the image appears in focus, choose the necessary objective with the revolving nosepiece.
Turn the tension-adjust-knob to get a suitable tension for the focus system.
