1. Choosing a place for the microscope
Before starting, choose a sufficient location for microscoping. Please take care that your
microscope stands on an even and solid ground.
Position your device so that it can be disconnected from the power supply at any time. The
wall socket should always be located near the device and be easily accessible, since the
plug on the power cord serves as a disconnecting device for the power supply.
2. Illumination
With the Analyth STR you have three illumination options: incident light, transmission light
and both. First, connect the power supply to a power supply socket and then into the
power supply connection of the microscope (14). Now, engage the main switch (6).
The illumination for incident light and transmitted light can be adjusted separately by
using the two brightness control buttons (7 and 8). After switching off, the selected setting
is retained.
Alternatively, the Analyth STR can also be operated with batteries. To insert the batteries
(type AA), open the battery compartment (13) on the underside of the microscope. Make
sure that the polarity is correct. The microscope can also be used with the power supply
when batteries are inserted. Rechargeable batteries will not be charged.
3. Observation
Place the desired object in the middle of the stage (10) and secure it with the clamps
(11) if necessary. The objective's magnification (1x, 2x or 4x) can be adjusted by turning
the objective holder (12). It is recommended to start observations always with the lowest
- 8 -
