3）Viewing Head（2）：

It is a monocular, or dual, or binocular or trinocular head. Binocular or trinocular head is

separated from the microscope body for transport safety. It is only fixed on the analyzer

part with screw (28) before using. It is 30° /45° inclined and 360° rotatable. Its

interpupillary distance can be adjusted from 55mm to 75mm to suit for the different

viewers. There is a rod for prism transition in the trinocular head. It is used to change the

distribution of light. a) In: Light is totally transmitted in binocular tube, to ensure enough

brightness when viewing. b) Out: The Spectroscope built-in divides the light into two parts.

This moment, you may use the device in the vertical tube, such as CCD camera,

electronic eyepiece, etc.

4）Analyzer Part：

It is comprised of analyzer and compensator. It is separated from the microscope body

for transport safety. It is only fixed on the microscope body (16) with screw (25) before

using.

When the microscope is only used for biological microscopy observation, put the

compensator (26) on the middle position, and move the analyzer (27) out .

Insert the analyzer(27) in and drive the analyzer around the optical axis. Scale on the

graduated ring and the vernier will tell you the angle analyzer turned.

6）Round Stage（6）:

It is a revolving round stage, its diameter is 120mm, and it can 3600 rotate freely. It is

graduated in 3600 area with 10 minimum increments. When vernier scale (7) is used, the

revolving angle precision of the stage is 0.10，.

P.3

Usually, the sample is put on the stage under the clips (5).

7）Condenser（24）：

Revolve the knob (23), the gear-rack mechanism makes the condenser up or down to

suit for the different objectives.

8）Plate for Numerical Aperture（10）：

The numerical aperture of the iris diaphragm built-in can be adjusted from Ø2mm to

Ø30mm by turning the plate (10). When the diameter of iris diaphragm is 70-80% of the

objective’s numerical aperture, the image observed is sharp in contrast. This moment,

look into the tube without eyepiece, and you can see the image of iris diaphragm. The

center of the diaphragm can be adjusted by rotating the black-head screws (9) without any

tools as following steps:

a) Turn the 4X or 10X objective in working;

b) Turn the plate (10) to small the diaphragm diameter;

c) Lower the diaphragm to make its image sharp by rotating the knob (23);

d) Rotate the screws (9) to concentre the image of the diaphragm with the eyepiece

viewing field.

Usually, it is adjusted coaxial before the microscope is finished.

9) Polarizer Plate (13):

The position of the polarizer in microscope is fixed. Turn the plate (13), the deflexion

angle of the polarizer will change. Scale on the graduated ring will tell you the angle the

polarizer turned.

10）Illumination System：

The input voltage for the microscope may be 220V/50Hz, or 110V/60Hz. So you should

make sure which voltage is used during purchasing. At same time you should tell us the

plug type of the electrical wire.

The illuminator is normally 6V/20W halogen lamp. If you need, we also provide you

3.5V/1W high brightness LED lamp.

Caution:

----Before change a bulb, ensure that the microscope has been disconnected

with the power source;

----The bulb must be the same specifications as the old one;

----When the illuminator is halogen lamp, the body near the lighting source may

be very hot. Don’t worry, but it is necessary to take the combustible material (such

as gasoline, paper, plastic and cloth) far away from the microscope. When change it,

wait until it is cool enough. Otherwise the hot bulb will burn your fingers.

----Don’t leave any dust and fingerprints on the bulb. Otherwise it may affects its

life and illuminating efficiency.

11）Focusing System：

It is coaxial coarse and fine focusing system with rack and pinion mechanism. Its

focusing range is 15mm. Decelerate through the multistage precision gear box, its

precision of fine focusing is 0.01mm/scale.

P.4

Rotate the coarse focusing knob (21) to raise the stage (6) up/down quickly. Rotate the

fine focusing knob (22) to raise the stage (6) up/down slowly. The knob (20) is used to

adjust the coarse focusing moment. It will avoid the stage dropping automatically because

of its deadweight and provide comfortable operating.

Caution:

If the power supply voltage is not fitted to the microscope, it will damage the

circuit and bulb, even leads to insecurity.

4. Focusing：

Put the sample on the stage, and place a lower objective (4X) into position. Raise

the stage close to the sample by rotating the coarse focusing knob (21) in the

anticlockwise direction. Then rotate the coarse knob (21) slowly in the clockwise direction,

until the image appears in the eyepiece. At last, use the fine focusing knob (22) to make

the image in focus. Rotate the nosepiece (3) to other objectives and focus. Since the

optical system in the microscope is par-focal and par-centered, only slightly turn the fine

focusing knob (22) to make the image in focus.

5. How to adjust the center of the Numerical Aperture:

Place the lower objective (4X) into position, and insert a eyepiece with crosshairs.

Turn the plate (10) to small the diameter of the diaphragm, and rotate the knob (23) to

move the diaphragm up or down until the diaphragm in focus. Adjust the black-head screw

(9) to concentre the image with the center of the eyepiece viewing field.

7. How to observe in orthogonal polarizing condition:

1) Make the analyzer is orthogonal with the polarizer. The analyzer is in south-north,

and the polarizer is in east-west.

2) The condenser is usually in lower position when 4X or 10X objectives is used; and

higher position when 40X , or 100X objective is used.

3) Select λ Slip (first class red)，or 1/4λ Slip,

E) Maintenance and Care of Microscope:

1. Unpack the microscope carefully to prevent the accessories such as lens from

falling down and damaging.

2. All lens are calibrated, don’t try to dismantle then apart by yourself.

3. Nosepiece and focusing system are advanced and precise in construction. Don’t try

to dismantle them apart by yourself. Please connect with an authorized technician when

they are in trouble.

4. Keep the mechanical parts from dust, and add a few no-corrosiveness lubricating

grease into the sliding sections at regular intervals. Keep the optical elements clean when

wipe the microscope.

5. Keep the microscope in dry and cool place. Disconnect it with the power source and

put the dust cover over it after using. If it will be not used for a longer time, it is the best

way to screw the objectives out and place them into the lens-bottles, and screw the dust

covers on the nosepiece.
