MC Series Measurement Microscope

1. Introduction

The Meiji Techno MC Series Measurement Microscopes have a heavy duty industrial

design. Easy measurement operations are achieved through use of optional digital

micrometer heads to move the stage in X and Y directions. Z-axis measurement is

accomplished with another optional micrometer attached to the microscope focus block.

Meiji’s MC Series is well suited for a wide variety of metallurgical or industrial

observation and measurement applications as well as high resolution video microscopy.

The MC Series Microscopes delivers crisp, distortion-free, high resolution images in

Brightfield mode.

Meiji Techno supplies a variety of accessories including eyepiece micrometers and

camera adapters.

to equipment or property. Keep this manual near your instrument for easy reference.

1.3 Intended Product Use

Product Disclaimer:This product is designed and intended for use only as a

metallurgical microscope system. Modifying this instrument in any way for use in any

situation other than the original and intended product design will automatically void the

warranty. In no event shall Meiji Techno be liable to any person or entity for any

incidental, indirect or consequential damages, arising out of or in connection with the use

or performance of a modified or altered product.

1.4 Product Safety Information- Handling the Microscope

DO NOT OPERATE THE ILLUMINATOR UNLESS THE UNIT IS PROPERLY

GROUNDED!

Use only the specified power cord in a well grounded socket. Do not use in an

ungrounded power receptacle or in cases where there is a break in the ground conductor

or damage to the electrical wiring.

Only fuses of the specified type and rating are to be used as replacements. Switch off the

power and disconnect the power cord before replacing fuses. Use of a non-compliant fuse

may result in electrical shock or severe damage your equipment. Do not replace the bulb

for at least 10 minutes after the unit has been turned off or injury may result.

1.5 Warranty Statement

Modifying the instrument in any way or unauthorized attempts to disassemble or use the

instrument for applications other then its intended design will automatically void the

warranty.

Meiji Techno warrants this product against defects in material and/or workmanship for the life of

repair or replace, at its option, any instrument which under normal conditions of use and service

proves to be defective in material or workmanship. No charge will be made for labor or materials

with respect to defects covered by this warranty, provided all repair work is done by Meiji Techno.

This warranty does not cover expenses incurred in the removal or reinstallation of any instrument

or instruments, whether or not proven defective. Replacement or repairs furnished under this

EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS

Specifically excluded from this warranty are failures caused by abuse, neglect, misuse,

improper operation, normal wear, accident, improper maintenance or modifications of

ANY type. This warranty does not cover repair or replacement where normal use has

exhausted the life of a part or instrument. All mechanical devices need periodic parts

2.1 Installation Site

The microscope should be operated in a room with as little dust and debris as practically

possible. Keep your instrument away from solvents, chemical fumes and excessive

humidity. Also try to avoid big swings in ambient temperature, direct sunlight and

vibration as they can affect measurements and instrument performance.

Operating Ambient Conditions

Temperature: 10 - 36°C (50 – 96.8°F)

Relative Humidity: 0 – 80% up to 30°C (86°F)

2.2 Unpacking

Please check your packing slip to insure that all materials are present. Keep a copy for

your records so that you have the proper information when ordering more equipment,

ordering replacement parts or accessories or when calling for technical support. Please

make sure that no small pieces or parts are left in the packing material. Keep the packing

materials in a safe place for the purpose of storage and transporting the microscope and

its accessories.

Avoid touching the surface of optical components such as lenses,

filters and glass surfaces. Even very small traces of perspiration or finger oils can corrode

the surfaces of optics in a short period of time.

2.3 Microscope Set Up

•As a first step, remove all components from the shipping container and remove

the packing materials and place the microscope frame on a stable work surface.

•Loosen the clamp screw on the microscope limb and install the vertical

illuminator (MA806). Once the thumbscrew is tightened, place the binocular or

trinocular head (MA657/05 or MA655/05) onto the top of the illuminator and re-

tighten the clamp screw while the head is in the correct position.

•Install the two eyepieces (MA406 and MA413CF) by sliding them into the head

and then install the rubber eyeshields on top of each eyepiece. The MA413CF

focusing eyepiece installs on the right hand side. The shiny pin aligns the

crosshair reticle into the slot on the eyetube.

•Remove the objectives from their objective cases while being careful not to touch

any part of the optics. Then, screw each objective into a nosepiece opening. Install

them incrementally or in order of power (e.g. 5, 10,

20, and 50).

•Un-package each digital micrometer and install the

two 164-162’s into the stage. One may need to

loosen the Allen bolts that clamp the micrometers

into place. If a Z-axis micrometer was purchased,

install it onto the focus block as seen at right.

•Insert the fiber optic light guide into the vertical

illuminator and tighten it in place with the two

Allen screws on the port. Next, plug the power

cordset into the fiber optic light source and the other

end into a grounded outlet.

The mains power cord should only be plugged into a known grounded outlet.

A simple outlet tester can be used to verify correct outlet polarity and the presence of a

grounded circuit. If no other accessories are going to be installed, the instrument is now

ready for use.

2.4 Adjusting Interpupillary Distance

The Interpupillary Distance is essentially the distance

between your two pupils expressed in millimeters. When

set correctly, one will see one uniform round field of

view or FOV. The adjustment is made by simply pulling

apart or pushing together the eyetubes until a uniform round field is achieved.

Make note of the number marked on the viewing head so

you can repeat the setting later. The number indicated on

the microscope head is your IP expressed in millimeters.

That number will also need to be dialed up on the left

eyetube as shown at right.

Once this is done, the microscope is adjusted to this user. Other users will have

different IP’s and different focusing abilities so re-adjustment is necessary.
