laboratory. Misuse can cause personal injury or damage to the instrument. Keep this manual at hand
close to the instrument, for an easy consultation.
Electrical safety
Before connecting the power cord to wall outlet, ensure that your mains voltage for your region corre-
sponds to the voltage supply of the instrument, and that the illuminator’s switch is in position OFF. The
user must observe the safety regulations in force in his region. The instrument is equipped with CE sa-
fety marking, in any case the user has full responsibility concerning the safe use of that instrument.

3.0 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
3.1 The microscope is housed in a moulded Styrofoam container. Remove the tape from the edge of the
container and lift the top half of the container. Take some care to avoid that the optical items (objec-
tives and eyepieces) fall out and get damaged. Lift the microscope from the container and put it on a
stable desk.
3.2 Insert the eyepiece into the eye tube.
Connect the mains plug into the socket at the base
Make sure, before you turn the illumination on, that the voltage selector is set to the mains voltage for
your region.
The power cord should be used only on network sockets equipped with adequate grounding.
Contact a technician to check the state of your electrical system. If there is no need to install additional
accessories, the instrument is now ready for use. Once positioned and installed with the necessary
components, the microscope is ready to be used. Your microscope is a laboratory instrument desi-
gned to last. Handle it always carefully and avoid abrupt vibrations or shocks. Always disconnect the
power cable from the microscope when not in use for long time, while you clean it or when you perform
any maintenance.
AVOID DISASSEMBLING THE INSTRUMENT
Do not disassemble the instrument. This entails the cancellation of the warranty and may cause
malfunction.
3.3 In order to mount the Schuko plug adapter, please refer to manual B-20 on
www.optikamicroscopes.com.
4.1 Place the specimen on the stage
Turn the observation head to a comfortable position for observation. Lock the specimen slide on the
mechanical stage using the slide clip. Ensure that the specimen is centred over the stage opening by
adjusting the coaxial knobs of the stage.
4.0 USING THE MICROSCOPE
2.0 INTRODUCION
Page 7
5.1 Microscopy environment
This microscope is recommended to be used in a clean, dry and shock free environment with a tem-
perature of 0-40°C and a maximum relative humidity of 85 % (non condensing). Use a dehumidier
if needed.
5.2 To think about when and after using the microscope
• The microscope should always be kept vertically when moving it and be careful so that no
moving parts, such as the eyepieces, fall out.
• Never mishandle or impose unnecessary force on the microscope.
• Never attempt to service the microscope yourself.
• After use, turn o the light immediately, cover the microscope with the included dust-cover,
and keep it in a dry and clean place.
5.3 Electrical safety precautions
• Before plugging in the power cord with the supply, make sure that the supplying voltage of
your region matches with the operation voltage of the equipment and that the lamp switch is
in o-position.
• Do not turn the power on and o, o and on immediately as this will shorten the life span of
the bulb and may cause damage to the electrical system.
• Users should observe all safety regulations of the region. The equipment has acquired the
CE safety label. However, users do have full responsibility to use this equipment safely.
5.4 Cleaning the optics
• If the optical parts need to be cleaned try rst to: use compressed air.
• If that is not sucient: use a soft lint-free piece of cloth with water and a mild detergent.
• And as a nal option: use the piece of cloth moistened with a 3:7 mixture of ethanol and
ether.
Note: ethanol and ether are highly ammable liquids. Do not use them near a heat source,
near sparks or near electric equipment. Use these chemicals in a well ventilated room.
• Remember to never wipe the surface of any optical items with your hands. Fingerprints can
damage the optics.
• Do not disassemble objectives or eyepieces in attempt to clean them.
5.5 If you need to send the microscope to Optika for maintenance, please use the original
packaging
5.0 MAINTENANCE
4.2 Lamp settings
The microscope is tted with white LED illuminator. Before turning on the light, read the section 5.3
about electrical safety precautions. Insert the plug of the cable into the power socket and turn on the
switch on the back of the main body. Turn the brightness adjustment knob to a brightness suitable for
observation.
4.3 Focus adjustment
Rotate the coarse focusing knob to bring the slide into focus using an objective with a low magnica-
tion. Adjust the ne focusing knob to get is in focus, turn the nosepiece to choose the objective you
need.
