1.0 WARNINGS

SAFETY NOTE

1 Do not store the instrument under direct sunlight, high

temperature or high humidity, nor in dusty environments.

Make sure the stage is plane, horizontal and stable.

2 When moving the microscope, please hold the instru-

ment with one hand on the lower side of the eyepiece

tube (1), and the other hand on the illumination bracket

(2) (Figure 1).

3 If water or bacterial cultures are spilled on the stage,

objective or viewing tube, pull out the power cord at

once, and wipe the microscope clean. Failing to do so

may result in damage to the instrument.

4 When working, the LED housing on the top of the arm

(3) (Figure 1) will become hot. Ensure good ventilation

around the LED housing.

The instrument must be connected to a grounded mains

supply.

6 Please use the supplied power cord only.

MAINTENANCE

1 Use a lint-free cloth to wipe the glass parts. In order to remove ngerprints and oil stains, slightly

dampen the cloth with xylene or 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.

2 Do not use organic solvents to wipe the non-optical elements. Please use a neutral detergent

only.

3 During use, if liquids fall on the microscopes, cut off the power at once, and wipe up the moistu-

re.

4 Do not disassemble the microscope. Disassembling might degrade the performance of the mi-

croscope, and will invalidate the warranty.

5 When the objectives are not mounted, please cover the sockets with the dust caps, in order to

prevent dust and liquids from entering the microscope.

6 When not in use, remember to cover the microscope with the dust hood. Please let the lamp cool

down before covering the microscope.

3.2 INSTALLATION STEPS

3-2-1 Installing the condenser illumination unit and the

LEDhousing(g.3)

1. Insert the condenser illumination unit (1) into the bracket,

according to gure .

2. Turn the condenser illumination unit clockwise about 90°,

with the “AS” mark of lter holder (3) facing forwards. Align

the screw of the condenser illumination unit and the hole of

the holder, then screw the bolt in the hole with the supplied

hexagon spanner.

3. Insert the connector plug (2) into the connector jack (4).

4. Push the LED housing gently into the holes of the illumina-

tion unit.

3-2-2Installingtheobjectivesg.4&g.5

1. Turning the coarse focusing knob (1) till the nosepiece rea-

ches to its lowest position.

► Forasafetransport,thenosepieceisplacedinthelo-

westpositionandthetensionadjustmentcollar(2)is

adjusted to the appropriate tension when the micro-

scopeleavesthefactory.

2. Screw the lowest magnication objective on to the turret

from the right side, then turn the turret clockwise.

Mount the other objectives in the same way, following the

sequence from low to high.

► Note:theobjectivescanalsobeinstalledthroughthe

stage opening.

► Clean the objectives regularly. In inverted microscopes,

the objectives are very sensitive to dust.

► To prevent dust and contamination from entering the mi-

croscope, cover all the unused holes with dust caps (3).

► When operating, use the low magnication objective (10X)

to search and focus the specimen, then switch to higher

magnications.

► When switching between objectives, slowly turn the nose-

piece until it clicks. The click means that the objective is in

the right position, in the center of the light path.

3-2-3Installingthestageextensionandthemechanicalstage(g.6)

(NotincludedinLTversion)

The stage extension can be installed on either side of the stage to en-

large the working surface. The mechanical stage must be installed on

the side opposite the extension.

For right-handed operators, the mechanical stage is normally installed

on the right side.

1. Installing the stage extension: Screw the bolts (1) on to the extension,

then mount the extension from below the stage. Screw it to a rm t.

2. Installing the mechanical stage: As for the extension, the mechanical

stage is xed by two bolts under the stage.

3-2-4Installingthestageinsert(g.7)

1. When using the glass stage (1), make sure that the stage is horizontal.

2. Install the stage insert in the stage opening.

Turn the disk until the V-groove faces the user. This simplies objective

identication.

3-2-5Installingtheeyepieces(g.8)

1. Remove the cap of the eyepiece tubes (1).

2. Insert the eyepieces (2) into the tubes.

3-2-6Installingthecolorlters(g.9)

► Besurethecolorlterhascooleddowncompletelybeforeyou

changethem.Removethelterholder(1),theninstallthecolor

lters(2)youneed.

Mount the color lter at as shown in (3), verifying that they are not

tilted.

► Ifthecolorlteristiltedorotherwiseoutofplace(4),itmayfall.

The color lters can be stacked in the holder. This allows to install as

many lters as needed, as long as the whole thickness is less than 11

mm.

Before replacing the fuse, turn the main switch (1) to “O” (off)

and unplug the power cord. Rotate the fuse support (3) out of

the holder using a straight screwdriver. Insert a new fuse in the

support, then rotate the support back into the holder.
