Components of the Microscope

COMPOUND MICROSCOPE - designed for viewing small cells, or thin sections of organs or

tissues placed on a glass mounting slide. The specimens are thin enough that light can pass

through them from below. Magnifications of the CM300 series generally range from 40X to

400X.

HEAD - the part of the microscope contains the eyepiece lens with an independent path of light

to the eye. Also able to rotate 360 degrees for shared viewing.

EYEPIECE - the lens that you look through at the top of the microscope. This optical

element further magnifies the image of the specimen and is critical to the total magnification.

WIDE FIELD EYEPIECE - offers a large diameter and shows a wide area field of view. Field

of view is determined by magnification and eyepiece design.

OBJECTIVE BARREL or NOSEPIECE - the revolver that carries the objective lenses.

OBJECTIVES - the optical systems which magnify the primary image of the instrument. The

objectives are fitted into the nosepiece and typical magnifications are 4XD, 10XD, and 40XRD.

ARM - the part of the microscope frame that connects the head and the base.

COARSE FOCUS - the coarse focus control knobs move the stage up or down to bring the

specimen into focus.

FINE FOCUS - the fine focus control knobs bring the specimen into sharp focus.

STAGE - where the specimen is placed for viewing. Located directly under the objective lenses

and over the transmitted (bottom) light.

MECHANICAL STAGE (CM302 and CM304 models) - mounted microscope stage that

moves specimen slide by means of two dials allowing East to West and North to South

precision movement and positioning. Ideal at 400X or higher magnification where precise

movement is most critical.

FINGER CLIP - designed to gently hold slide in place while being viewed on the mechanical

stage.

ABBE CONDENSER (CM302 and CM304 models) - a device that condenses and

focuses the light from the light source. The function of the condenser is to provide full

illumination to the specimen plane and to enhance the resolution and contrast of the object

being viewed. The condenser is most important at 1000X and above.

www.SOLARISSCIENTIFIC.com 6

IRIS DIAPHRAGM (CM302 and CM304 models) - leaf aperture designed to regulate the

amount of light admitted to the condenser. Primary function is to increase or decrease

contrast of the specimen.

DISC DIAPHRAGM - circular plate between the light source and the stage that is used to

spread transmitted light evenly through the specimen using predetermined aperture settings.

BASE - the platform of the microscope that extends from the bottom of the arm. Housing the

transmitted (bottom) light, illumination switches and power plug.

ILLUMINATION - light source. The CM300 offers two illumination options, variable fluorescent

and low voltage Light Emitting Diode (LED).

AC ADAPTER/CHARGER (CM303 and CM304 models) - the charger is designed to bring

the rechargeable batteries to full capacity. Twelve (12) hours of charging allows for forty (40)

hours of run time. Also, allows the use of direct AC power.

GREEN FRIENDLY DESIGN (CM303 and CM304 models)- the CM300 is fully portable

using internal batteries that last over forty (40) hours on one twenty-four 24-hour charge.

Unlike directly wired systems that are connected to the power grid, the use of a cordless scope

minimizes its carbon footprint over its life.

WARNINGS:

TO AVOID RISK OF FIRE use only Rechargeable NiMH Nickel Metal Hydride or Li Ion Lithium

Batteries. Installation of standard non-rechargeable batteries may result in serious damage or

fire.

DO NOT carry microscope by the head. All microscopes should be carried by arm with

support to the base. Improper handling of microscope may cause damage not covered under

warranty.

OPERATING YOUR CM300 MICROSCOPE

Once you have assembled your microscope, learned the terminology and purpose of each

component of the microscope, use of the microscope is simple and enjoyable. By following

these easy steps, you will be able to begin studying the specimen quickly and easily:

1. Plug the power cord into a regular 120V wall outlet. When using CM303 or

CM304 models allow time for LED to charge before use.

2. Secure the slide on the stage using the spring loaded finger clips. Make sure

the specimen is located over the aperture opening on the stage and directly

under the objective lens.

3. Rotate the nosepiece to lowest power objective (4XD). Be sure the objective

“clicks” into position.

4. Open disc diaphragm to its largest aperture to allow for the greatest contrast

and even dispersion of light.

5. Looking through the eyepiece, use the coarse focus know to bring the

specimen into focus. This should be done slowly and carefully. Use fine focus

knob to complete focus and provide sharpest image.

6. Higher magnification objectives are ready for use. The CM300 objectives are

parfocalized and once set at lowest objective (4XD), only slight turn of the fine

focusing knob is required when changing to 10XD, 40XRD and 100XRD

(CM302 and CM04 models).

For use with Mechanical Stage:

1. Using the finger clip lever, open the finger clip and place the slide along the

back edge of the mechanical stage. Slowly release the finger clip lever to

keep the slide in place.

2. Align the slide under the objective lenses. Use the High Drive Mechanical

Stage Controls to adjust slide position. The closest knob moves the slide East

to West (right/left) while the furthest knob adjusts the slide North to South

(back/front).

4. For best view of specimen, rotate the nosepiece to lowest power objective

(4XD). Be sure the objective “clicks” into position.

5. Looking through the eyepiece, use the coarse focus know to bring the

specimen into focus. This should be done slowly and carefully. Use fine focus

knob to complete focus and provide sharpest image.

6. For additional contrast, open the iris diaphragm to its largest aperture. Slowly

close diaphragm until the details of the specimen are sharply defined. Watch

to not over adjust aperture, reducing aperture increase contrast and depth of

focus, but it also reduces resolution and introduces diffraction. The aperture

must be adjusted for each objective.

NA 0.25 for 10XD, NA 0.65 for 40XRD, NA 1.25 for 100XRD

The iris diaphragm is not intended to control the brightness of the illumination

but induce contrast of the specimen by diffracting light rays.

7. Higher magnification objectives are ready for use. The CM300 objectives are

parfocalized and once set at lowest objective (4XD), only slight turn of the fine

focusing knob is required when changing to 10XD, 40XRD and 100XRD.

Cleaning and Maintenance

You can rest easy! Each CM300 microscope is rigorously tested at the factory and again at

Solaris Scientific headquarters before they are sent to you, our customer. In addition to our

industry leading Double Inspection, all CM300 microscopes are backed with a Lifetime

Warranty.

Carton Micro System microscopes are designed to function with minimum maintenance.

Certain components should be cleaned frequently to insure ease of viewing.

The eyepiece and objective lenses should never be wiped while dry as this will scratch or

otherwise mar the surface of the glass. These surfaces should first be brushed with a soft,

camel hair brush or blown off with air pressure from a rubber syringe, to remove dust

particles. In most instances, the lens may then be cleaned by moistening its surface with

water, and then wiped with a good quality lens tissue folded several times and moistened.

CLEANING

Eyepieces should be cleaned as often as necessary to maintain them in good condition to

allow easy viewing. Clean the eyepieces by brushing away dust particles, using a soft camel

hair brush, then moistening the lens by breathing onto it. Wipe the lens carefully with good

quality lens tissue folded several times. If dirt or other foreign matter still remains, it may be

necessary to use a solvent such as Xylol. Note: the lens tissue should be moistened, not

saturated, with Xylol for cleaning, after which the lens should be dried, also with good quality

lens tissue.

Painted surfaces should be cleaned frequently with mild detergent and a soft cloth.

CAUTION: Objectives should never be disassembled by user. If repairs or internal cleaning are

necessary, this should only be done by a qualified, authorized repairman. A protective cover plate has

been placed in front of the objectives on the turret housing to protect these delicate lenses from debris

or handling.

The microscope should be disassembled, cleaned and lubricated, periodically. This should

be done only by a qualified, authorized repairman. Our facilities in Sunnyvale, CA as well as

our authorized repair dealer network can perform this routine maintenance.
