Setting 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, transmitted-light module with illuminating mirror or
reflected-light fluorescence illuminator, are delivered in separate packages and must still be mounted to
the microscope.
• 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.

Start-Up and Operation
• Remove the plug-in power unit (Fig. 5/2) from
its storage fixture on the back of the
microscope stand.
• Replace the installed power outlet adapter by
one of the supplied country-specific adapters
(Fig. 5/4), if necessary. To this end, pull off the
attached adapter and plug on the desired
adapter.
• If you use a Primo Star iLED with reflected-light
fluorescence illuminator, you will have to mount
this module first, see section 3.1.2.
• If you use a battery supply unit, proceed
according to section 3.1.3. If not, 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. 5/3) 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.
