COMPONENTS OF THE STEREO MICROSCOPE

BOTTOM ILLUMINATOR – This is the light source mounted in the

base to provide trans-illumination.

DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT – Located on the left eyepiece tube of the

SM100 Series. This adjustment is used to fine focus the optics to

compensate for visual differences between the user’s eyes.

EYEPIECE – The upper optical element that further magnifies the

primary image of the specimen and brings the light rays in focus at

the eyepoint.

EYEPIECE TUBE – This is the part of the head that holds the

eyepieces in place. Set screws in the eyepiece tubes can be used to

lock the eyepieces in place.

STAGE CLIP – Used to hold specimen in place.

FOCUSING CONTROL KNOB – The focusing control knobs located on

either side of the stand are used to raise or lower the head to bring

the specimen into focus. The control knobs incorporate a slip

clutch system which prevents the head from traveling past both

ends of the focusing range. When the focusing limit is reached, the

clutch system begins to slip to prevent gear damage.

HEAD – The 360˚ rotatable component that contains all of the

optical elements of the stereo microscope including the eyepieces,

refracting mirrors and objective lenses. The head of the SM100

series is designed to allow users to adjust the interpupillary

distance of the eyepieces for proper viewing.

ILLUMINATOR DIMMER CONTROL – The intensity of the top

(incident light) LEDs or bottom (trans-illumination) LED can be

adjusted to the preferred brightness (0 through 10) by using the

dimmer control located on the side of the base.

ILLUMINATOR ON/OFF SWITCHES – A tri-illumination system is

incorporated into the stand. The illumination system is controlled

by top (incident light) and bottom (trans-illumination) on/off

switches located at the base of the stand. The incident illuminator

is used for opaque specimens, while the trans-illuminator

effectively illuminates the internal structure of transparent

specimens. Translucent specimens may be seen in greater detail if

both illuminators are used simultaneously.

MAGNIFICATION KNOB – Used to change the SM100 series

magnification settings.

STAGE PLATE – Frosted glass, black and white stage plates are

provided with the microscope stand. The frosted glass stage plate

allows light from the bottom illuminator to pass through. The black

and white stage plates can be used for additional contrast to the

specimen that is being viewed.

STAND – Used to support the stereo microscope head. The height is

adjustable which allows the head to change its focusing range. The

stand also contains the top and bottom Illuminators.

TOP ANGLED ILLUMINATOR – The top .5W LED light source is fixed

at a 45˚ angle.

TOP TURRET ILLUMINATOR – The top 6 x .06W LED light source is

fixed in a downward in a vertical position to provide maximum

illumination of the specimen.

TURRET – The round barrel that houses the objective lenses. The

SM100 Series has magnifications that can be changed by rotating the

black turret magnification knob to a different set of objective

lenses.

USB Port – This port supplies 5VDC 500Ma for optional accessories.

This port can be used to charge MP3 device or add-on USB lighting.

OPERATING YOUR SM100 SERIES STEREO MICROSCOPE

1. Place the specimen onto the stage plate and select the type of

illumination. If the specimen is transparent, turn on the bottom

illumination. If the specimen is opaque, turn on the top

illuminator.

2. The magnification knob is located on the right hand side of the

microscope head. The knob is clearly marked with the optical

magnification setting. To change magnifications, rotate the

black magnification knob in one direction or in the opposite, as

far as it will turn. This will place one pair of objectives in

alignment for viewing. The power that is in use is marked on

the black magnification knob. Please start with the highest

objective setting.

3. Look through the eyepieces and rotate the focus control knob to

focus the specimen in the field of view.

4. Grasp the eyepiece tubes and move them either closer together

or farther apart, to change the interpupillary distance to obtain

a clear image. Note, if two separate images are observed, the

eyepiece tubes are too far apart and should be moved together.

If two overlapping images are seen, the eyepiece tubes are too

close together and should be moved apart.

5. Close your left eye and adjust the focus controls so the image is

in sharp focus, while viewing with the right eye only.

6. Close your right eye and while viewing with the left eye

only, adjust the diopter ring on the left eyetube to bring the

image of the specimen into sharp focus. The optical system is

now adjusted to your particular vision.

7. Rotate the black magnification knob to lowest magnification.

Only minor refocusing using the focusing control knob should be

required. Your microscope is now parfocalled.

SERVICE AND CLEANING

Use and store your instrument in a dry environment. When not

being used, microscopes should be stored with dust covers in place

and illuminators turned off. Avoid direct sunlight, high

temperatures, moisture, smoke, and fungus. Your Swift stereo

microscope is designed to function satisfactorily with only ordinary

maintenance. The instrument should be periodically serviced by a

qualified, authorized service technician, who will clean, re-

lubricate and perform routine adjustments. Eyepieces should be

cleaned as often as necessary to allow unobstructed viewing. Clean

the eyepieces by brushing away dust particles using a soft camel

hair brush or with air pressure, then moistening the lens by

breathing onto it. Wipe the lens carefully with quality lens tissue. If

dirt or other foreign matter still remains, it may be necessary to use

water or optical cleaner (eyeglass or camera lens). Note: the lens

tissue should be moistened, not saturated, for cleaning, after which

the lens should be dried using a quality lens tissue. Painted surfaces

should be cleaned with soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaners

and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents on painted surfaces.

Unauthorized personnel should never disassemble lens assemblies or

other precision components. For information regarding service,

contact your local authorized Swift dealer or Swift customer service

at (877) 967-9438.

BULB REPLACEMENT

Unplug the stereo microscope from the electrical outlet and

remove specimens from the stage before you attempt to replace

an LED.

To prolong the life of the LED, you should always turn off the unit

when not in use.

The extra long life LED incidental (top) illuminator bulbs (Swift

MA14780 & MA14781) can be replaced by removing the five retaining

screws holding on the Illumination plate (See Fig 1.). This will

require the use of a short handle screw driver. They can then be

unclipped and replaced (See Fig 2.).

The transmitted (bottom) illumination bulb is Swift MA14782 3.5V

150mA LED Bulb. The bottom bulb may be replaced by carefully

laying your stereoscope on its side and using a Phillips screw driver

remove the four screws securing the rubber feet and base plate to

illuminator base. Remove four 3mm Phillips head screws securing

lamp housing to lamp bracket (See Fig 3.); then remove lamp

housing. Carefully unplug LED lamp connector. Replace LED lamp

assembly and then, reverse the above process.

Fig 1. Fig 2.

Fig 3.

TENSION CONTROL OF FOCUSING MOVEMENT

The focus tension is easily adjusted by using the Swift adjustment

wrench. This wrench fits the tension collar found on the focusing

controls, between the knob and upright support. A clockwise turn

of this collar moves it toward the upright support and increases

tension, while a counter clockwise turn moves the collar toward the

knob and decreases tension (see illustration).

COMMON PROBLEMS IN MICROSCOPY

If you have a problem, you may be able to correct it yourself. Here

are a few common problems and easy solutions you may want to try

before calling for service.

CAUTION – Never disassemble mechanical or optical components.

This servicing should only be done by an authorized Swift technician.

The Limited Lifetime Warranty will be null and void if the

mechanical or optical components are disassembled by a non-Swift

dealer.

A. PROBLEM – The illuminator light does not come on

CORRECTION –

1. Make sure the microscope is plugged into a functional

electrical socket.

2. Make sure the bottom illuminator dimmer control is set above

“0”

3. The bulb may need to be replaced. See “Bulb replacement”

on page 8.
