Unpacking

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 (objectives and eyepieces)

fall out and get damaged. Using both hands (one around the arm and one around the base), lift the microscope

from the container and put it on a stable desk.

Using the microscope

Fig.3

1. Place the specimen on the stage

Place the specimen on the microscope

stage and lock the specimen using the

slide-clamp if it is necessary. Ensure that

the specimen is centred over the stage

opening. (Fig.1)

2. Turn on the light

The microscope comes with an electrical

illuminator. Insert the plug of the cable into

the power socket, turn on the switch on the

main body and select your light source.

(Fig.2)

3. Adjust interpupillary distance

Hold the right and left parts of the

observation head by both hands and

adjust the interpupillary distance by

turning the two parts until one circle of

light can be seen. If two circles appear,

the interpupillary distance is too big, and

if two overlapped circles appear, the

interpupillary distance is too small. (Fig.3)

4. Focus

Rotate the focusing knob to bring the

sample into focus with the highest

magnification. (Fig.4)

5. Dioptric compensation

This compensation makes it possible

for people with glasses to adjust the

microscope to their eyes and use the

microscope without glasses. Adjust the

diopter compensation ring of the right

eyepiece tube until the image of the right

eyepiece is clear and sharp. Repeat the

procedure for the left eyepiece. (Fig.5)

Maintenance

Microscopy environment

This microscope is recommended to be used in a clean, dry and shock free environment with a temperature of

5°-40°C and a maximum relative humidity of 75 % (non condensing). Use a dehumidier if needed.

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.

Electrical safety precautions

• Before plugging in the power 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.

•

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.

Cleaning the optics

• If the optical parts need to be cleaned try rst to: use compressed air.

• If that is not su󰀩cient: 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.

For the best results, use the OPTIKA cleaning kit (see catalogue).

If you need to send the microscope to Optika for maintenance, please use the original packaging.
