SAFETY NOTES

1. Open the shipping carton carefully to prevent any accessory, i.e. objectives or eyepieces, from

dropping and being damaged.

2. Do not discard the molded Styrofoam container; the container should be retained should the

microscope ever require reshipment.

3. Keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, and dusty environments.

Ensure the microscope is located on a smooth, level and firm surface.

4. If any specimen solutions or other liquids splash onto the stage, objective or any other component,

disconnect the power cord immediately and wipe up the spillage. Otherwise, the instrument may be

damaged.

5. All electrical connectors (power cord) should be inserted into an electrical surge suppressor to

prevent damage due to voltage fluctuations.

6. For safety when replacing the LED bulb or fuse, be sure the main switch is off (“O”), remove the

power cord, and replace the LED bulb after the bulb and the lamp house has completely cooled.

7. Confirm that the input voltage indicated on your microscope corresponds to your line voltage. The

use of a different input voltage other than indicated will cause severe damage to the microscope.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Do not attempt to disassemble any component including eyepieces, objectives or focusing assembly.

2. Keep the instrument clean; remove dirt and debris regularly. Accumulated dirt on metal surfaces

should be cleaned with a damp cloth. More persistent dirt should be removed using a mild soap

solution. Do not use organic solvents for cleansing.

3. The outer surface of the optics should be inspected and cleaned periodically using an air stream from

an air bulb. If dirt remains on the optical surface, use a soft cloth or cotton swab dampened with a

lens cleaning solution (available at camera stores). All optical lenses should be swabbed using a

circular motion. A small amount of absorbent cotton wound on the end of a tapered stick such as

cotton swabs or Q-tips, makes a useful tool for cleaning recessed optical surfaces. Avoid using an

excessive amount of solvents as this may cause problems with optical coatings or cemented optics

or the flowing solvent may pick up grease making cleaning more difficult. Oil immersion objectives

should be cleaned immediately after use by removing the oil with lens tissue or a clean, soft cloth.

4. Store the instrument in a cool, dry environment. Cover the microscope with the dust cover when not

in use.

5. ACCU-SCOPE®microscopes are precision instruments which require periodic preventative

maintenance to maintain proper performance and to compensate for normal wear. An annual

schedule of preventative maintenance by qualified personnel is highly recommended. Your

authorized ACCU-SCOPE® distributor can arrange for this service.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new ACCU-SCOPE® microscope. ACCU-SCOPE®

microscopes are engineered and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Your microscope will

last a lifetime if used and maintained properly. ACCU-SCOPE® microscopes are carefully assembled,

inspected and tested by our staff of trained technicians in our New York facility. Careful quality control

procedures ensure each microscope is of the highest quality prior to shipment.

UNPACKING AND COMPONENTS

Your microscope arrived pre-assembled and packed in a molded container. Do not discard the

container: the molded container should be retained for reshipment of your microscope if needed. Avoid

placing the microscope in dusty surroundings or in high temperature or humid areas as mold and mildew

will form. Carefully remove the microscope from the Styrofoam container by its arm and base and place

the microscope on a flat, vibration-free surface.

ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION

Connecting the Power Cord

Make sure the power switch is at “0”(OFF) before connecting.

Insert the connector ①of power cord securely into the power

socket ②.

Insert the other connector securely into an electrical outlet.

The microscope uses a universal power supply so it may

be used in any voltage range between 90 ~ 240v when

used with the appropriate line cord.

IMPORTANT: Use care when storing the power cord so

that it does not bend or twist –it is recommended to wrap

the cord around the cord hanger for storage.

Illumination

With the microscope turned on (I), rotate the light adjustment

dial ①until the illumination is comfortable for observation.

Rotate the light adjustment knob toward the back of the

microscope to increase brightness; rotate toward the front to

reduce brightness.

ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION (continued)

Placing the Specimen Slide

For Models With a Fixed Stage

Place the slide on the stage with the cover glass facing up and

secure it with the stage clips ①.

For Models With a Mechanical Stage

Push the slide finger ② of the specimen holder towards the

back to open it and place a specimen slide into the slide

holder with the cover glass facing up. Release the slide finger

so it closes and secures the slide in place.

Rotate the X and Y-axis knobs ③to move the slide into

position.

Adjusting the Focus

Turn the coarse adjustment knob ④counterclockwise to

move the stage to its lowest position.

Place a specimen slide on the center of the stage.

Using the 4x objective bring the specimen into focus using the

coarse ④and fine ⑤focusing controls.

Different objectives can be brought into view by rotating the

nosepiece and using the fine adjustment knob because the

objectives are parfocal.

ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION (continued)

Model With Iris Diagphragm

Model With Disc Diaphragm

Using the Disc or Iris Diaphragm

Each EXM-150 Series Microscope is supplied with either a

disc or iris diaphragm, depending on the model ordered.

The amount of light can be adjusted by opening or closing the

iris diaphragm (using the lever ①) or by turning the disc

diaphragm ②, located just beneath the stage).

Adjust the diaphragm to the smallest size allowable for a clear,

sharp image of the specimen.

Using the 100xR Oil Objective

(EXM-151 Models ONLY)

The procedure for examining a specimen using an oil

immersion objective is as follows:

Rotate the nosepiece so the low power objective is in the

optical path.

Place one drop of immersion oil on the lighted area of the

specimen slide ③.

Rotate the nosepiece so the 100xR oil immersion objective is

in the light path. Dust or air bubbles in the oil can destroy the

definition of the image. If the bubbles are trapped between

the objective lens and the slide, clean off the oil and start

again or try to eliminate the bubble by rotating the objective

back and forth.

With your eye at the level of the stage, use the coarse focus

knob to raise the stage with the specimen cover glass. When

you see a flash of light at this location the objective lens has

made contact with the immersion oil and the microscope can

now be focused using the fine focus knob.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Each time you finish using the oil immersion objective wipe off

all traces of oil from the objective and the specimen cover

glass with a lens tissue or clean soft cloth.

Cleaning after each use will prevent oil from contaminating the

high dry objective (40xR), prevent dust and dirt from accu-

mulating on the lens of the objective which will degrade its

optical performance, and will keep the slide clean to work with.
