Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new AmScope microscope!

This manual is designed for the ZM-2 series microscopes (ZM-2B, ZM-2T, and all their variants).

The two base models of this series differ in that the -B models are binocular (two eyepiece ocular

tubes), while the -T models are trinocular (two eyepiece ocular tubes with a third port on top for

a microscope camera).

Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the features and functions of your new microscope.

If you’d like more information on microscopes, parts, or accessories, please visit our website at:

www.amscope.com

We highly recommend you study this manual thoroughly before operating the microscope and

that you keep it on hand for future reference.

If you have additional questions or need assistance, please send us an email at:

Use

Safety Precautions

As the microscope is a precision instrument, always handle it with care, avoiding impact

or abrupt movement during transportation. Do not shake the package.

Do not place the microscope in direct sunlight or in high heat. Keep it indoors in a dry

and clean place with temperatures between 32-100 degrees F (0-40 degrees C), and in

maximum relative humidity of 85%.

Avoid touching the lenses on the objectives and the eyepieces so that oil and dirt from

your fingerprints do not obstruct your view.

Before turning the power on, make sure that the power supply voltage is consistent with

the voltage of your microscope (for units with built in illumination).

Getting

Assembly

Series

Getting

Started

First, take the styrofoam container out of the cardboard carton and lay it on its side, paying attention

to which

side is labeled up. Remove the tape and open the container carefully so as to avoid dropping

and damaging the

optical items. Check carefully to ensure that all parts and accessories are intact.

Check the packing list to ensure that you’re received all items. Please note that this can vary

depending on

which model you’ve purchased, and is generally listed on www.amscope.com at the

items’ details page for your

specific model.

Remove the microscope body from the box and remove the plastic protective covering. The body of the

microscope is composed of the base that comes with your unit, the focusing rack, and the head lock

screw.

For –PL model, insert the illumination device①in the bracket

and tighten the lock screw②. Insert plug into the socket③of the

pillar stand.

After mounting the focusing rack to the base (if not already

attached in shipping), slide the objective of the

microscope into

the hole and secure with included head lock screw.

For the -T models, screw the photo port onto the top of the

microscope head (trinocular C-mount port).

Remove the eyetube caps and drop the desired eyepieces into the eyepiece ocular tubes. Be sure

to avoid

touching the lens to ensure no artifacts appear in your image.

Remove the cap from the objective lens.

Plug in the microscope and turn it on if a light source is included (or refer to your specific light

source instructions for mounting/turning on if an external source). If no light emerges from the

light source, adjust the

dimmer knob near the power switch.

10.

If viewing an opaque sample, use a top light source, however while using a translucent sample,

either light

source can be used.

Setting Up

Once you have placed your sample on the table or base below the objective, center the sample as best

as possible.

A slide is neither needed nor required for a stereo microscope, although they can be used if

desired. If using a slide,

use the stage clips to hold it in place.

With both eyes open, look into the eyepieces. Adjust the

interpupillary distance by holding the eyepiece tubes

and rotating

the eyepiece tubes either towards or away from each other until

only one circle of light is seen by both

eyes.

Adjust the magnification knob to the lowest setting (0.7) and

move the microscope’s focusing knobs (on the

focusing rack) to

adjust the height of the unit until at approximately 4 inches

(101mm) away from the sample. If

not clear after adjusting,

please be sure that you have not installed any additional Barlow

lenses onto the objective.

Center the object in the field of view once you have achieved focus.

Focusing

A stereo microscope’s focus differs from a compound microscope. Magnification and focal distance

(working

distance) are inversely related to each other. The more magnified one is, the lower the

distance between the objective and the sample to achieve focus.

When first using the microscope, remove all Barlow lenses and set the magnification knob (on the

microscope

head) to the minimum setting (0.7x).

Begin focusing the microscope by moving the knob until the head is about 4 inches (101mm)

away from the

sample. This should bring the microscope in focus at 7x.

If you’d like to use greater magnification than the minimum setting, you will need to move the

microscope head closer to the sample as well as adjust the magnification knob to a higher setting. The

more magnified, the closer you need to be.

If you’ve achieved the maximum magnification (45x and 3/16 of an inch or 4.76mm) on the

microscope, you can

use other accessories to either further increase or further decrease the

magnification, called Barlow lenses. These

lenses screw onto the objective to either amplify or reduce

the total magnification.
