2.0 INTRODUCTION

The OPTIKA microscopes STEREO series are high-performance stereo microscopes with a large possibility

of choice between various models with fixed magnification or rotable objective.

Total magnification ranges from 5x to 80x depending on the eyepieces (standard or optional).

These microscopes are suitable to analyze a variety of objects in 3D, for industrial, biological or educational

applications.

Using the rotable objective (ST-30/40/45) you can change the magnification keeping a perfect parfocality (the

focus is kept when changing the magnification) and a perfect centering of the field.

Depending on the model, the binocular head can be fixed or 360° rotating.

3.0 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLING OF THE MICROSCOPE

The components for stereo series are shipped detached for protection.

Open the styrofoam protection with care and do not leave any components attached to the packing being

removed.

Normally this series is shipped ready to be used and you have only to put the eyepieces into their tube.

If damage occurs during the transport please contact immediately both the carrier and your supplier.

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.

4.0 ALIGNMENT AND OPERATION OF THE MICROSCOPE

Interpupillary distance

Move the two eyepiece tubes until only one circular field can be seen through the two eyepieces. If two cir-

cles appear the interpupillary distance is too big, if two overlapped circles appear the interpupillary distance

is too small.

Focusing the microscope

Try to focus the sample with the magnification 2x by using the focusing knobs or, if necessary, adjust the hei-

ght of the microscope along the vertical stand.

Magnification

Select the magnification (when it’s possible) by adjusting the rotable objective. The total magnification can be

calculated by the following equation:

EYEPIECE MAGNIFICATION X OBJECTIVE LENS MAGNIFICATION

5.0 KNOWING YOUR MICROSCOPE

Stereo head

In the microscopes ST-30, ST-40, ST-45, the binocular tube is built together with the stereo body to form a sin-

gle piece named “stereo-head”. Stereo-head contains two optical systems that work separately for the right

and the left eyepiece. With this system, the user can obtain a great depth of view and a stereoscopic effect.

Stand, illuminator

The stand is equipped with an inox pole and the focusing mechanism (with stereo head) can be moved verti-

cally to obtain the right focusing.

The double illumination system of model ST-40-2L allows to use two illuminators at the same time; use the

master switch and selector switch to turn one or both lights on.

The plate for the samples is provided with two clips that help to “block” in place the object. The plate is sup-

plied in two different versions: black/white (for incident light) and translucent glass (for transmitted light).

The models ST-50 and ST-50LED are provided with overhanging stand with flexible arm and a stop ring that

prevents the binocular head from being taken down too much

External illumination

The light can be incident, transmitted and if necessary it is possible to use an external cold light source (opti-

cal fiber or LED illumination). By using the correct light it’s possible to obtain the best image of your sample.

6.0 MAINTENANCE

To take good care of the microscope, the user should avoid the attack of dust and water. If dust and water

come to the microscope, sooner or later, fungus will grow and kill the microscope. Please notice that once

fungus is grown, even after cleaning, the microscope will have a good chance to be re-infected again. Moreo-

ver, grease stain and fingerprints will distort the image, which should be avoided.

Protection against Dust

When the instrument is not used for a long period of time, cover it with the enclosed dust cover. Never lea-

ve the eyepiece tube open without any covers. Either leave the eyepiece in the tube (recommended if the

microscope is used very frequently) or cover it with wrapping paper or covering cap. Eyepieces and other

optical accessories, when not in use, are recommended to be kept in a dry box to protect them against dust

and water.

Protection against Water

The instrument should be kept away from water source, pipeline or water sink. Humidity in the room where

the instrument located should be as low as possible (relative humidity should be kept below 70%). All the

optical accessories are recommended to be kept in a dry box when not in use. The use of dehumidifier and

24-hours air conditioning is highly recommended if the surrounding is too humid.

Cleaning

If dust is found on the optical surface, try to remove by air blower or compress air.

For fingerprint, grease stain or dust which cannot be removed by the air blower, 2 possible methods are re-

commended:

- To breathe lightly on the glass surface and wipe with a clean piece of cloth, lens paper or

cotton swab. Please notice that small cotton fibre may be left onto the lens surface if cotton

swab is used.

5.0 KNOWING YOUR MICROSCOPE

Page 8

- Use a cotton swab or lens paper, dip with a small amount of absolute alcohol, and clean the

lens surface carefully. No other aggressive solvents should be used.

In no circumstances should the user clean any lens surface with dry cotton swab, cloth or lens paper. This will

scratch the lens surface causing irreparable damage.

Water is not recommended for cleaning of lens as it will leave some water stain on the lens surface and if

water residue is left on the lens, fungus can grow causing irreparable damage.

Electrical Parts of the Microscope

Before plugging in the power cord with the supply, make sure that the supplied voltage matches with the ope-

ration voltage of the equipment.

Turn off the equipment before plugging in the power cord with the supply.

Do not turn the power on-off-on rapidly 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 equi-

pment safely.
