SAFETY NOTES
1. Open the shipping carton carefully to prevent any accessory, i.e. objectives or eyepieces, from
dropping and being damaged.
2. Do not discard the molded foam container; the container should be retained should the microscope
ever require reshipment.
3. Keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, and dusty environments.
Ensure the microscope is located on a smooth, level and firm surface.
4. If any specimen solutions or other liquids splash onto the stage, objective or any other component,
disconnect the power cord immediately and wipe up the spillage. Otherwise, the instrument may be
damaged.
5. All electrical connectors (power cord) should be inserted into an electrical surge suppressor to
prevent damage due to voltage fluctuations.
6. For safety when replacing the LED bulb or fuse, be sure the main switch is off (“O”), remove the
power cord, and replace the LED bulb after the bulb and the lamp house has completely cooled.
7. Confirm that the input voltage indicated on your microscope corresponds to your line voltage. The
use of a different input voltage other than indicated will cause severe damage to the microscope.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Do not attempt to disassemble any component including eyepieces, objectives or focusing assembly.
2. Keep the instrument clean; remove dirt and debris regularly. Accumulated dirt on metal surfaces
should be cleaned with a damp cloth. More persistent dirt should be removed using a mild soap
solution. Do not use organic solvents for cleansing.
3. The outer surface of the optics should be inspected and cleaned periodically using an air stream from
an air bulb. If dirt remains on the optical surface, use a soft cloth or cotton swab dampened with a
lens cleaning solution (available at camera stores). All optical lenses should be swabbed using a
circular motion. A small amount of absorbent cotton wound on the end of a tapered stick such as
cotton swabs or Q-tips, makes a useful tool for cleaning recessed optical surfaces. Avoid using an
excessive amount of solvents as this may cause problems with optical coatings or cemented optics
or the flowing solvent may pick up grease making cleaning more difficult. Oil immersion objectives
should be cleaned immediately after use by removing the oil with lens tissue or a clean, soft cloth.
4. Store the instrument in a cool, dry environment. Cover the microscope with the dust cover when not
in use.
5. ACCU-SCOPE® microscopes are precision instruments which require periodic preventative
maintenance to maintain proper performance and to compensate for normal wear. An annual
schedule of preventative maintenance by qualified personnel is highly recommended. Your
authorized ACCU-SCOPE ® distributor can arrange for this service.

ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION (continued)
Adjusting the Focus - (Fig. 19)
To ensure that you obtain sharp images with both eyes (since
eyes vary, especially for those wearing glasses) any eyesight
variation can be corrected in the following manner: set both
diopter collars to “0”. Using your left eye only and the 10X
objective, focus your specimen by adjusting the coarse
adjustment knob ①. When the image is in view, refine the
image to its sharpest focus by turning the fine adjustment
knob ②. Rotate the diopter collar to obtain the sharpest
focus. To obtain the same sharp image using your right eye,
do not touch the coarse or fine adjustments. Instead, rotate
the right diopter collar until the sharpest image appears.
Repeat several times to check.
NOTE: do not counter rotate the focusing knob as this will
cause severe problems and damage to the focusing system.
Adjusting the Focus Stop - (Fig. 20)
Once you have adjusted the focus, turn the focus stop
clockwise to set your objective levels to a stop position so they
will not come into contact with your slide.

ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION (continued)
Centering the Condenser - (Fig. 21-23)
The top height of the condenser was pre-set at the factory.
It is adjustable using the condenser adjustment knobs on
either side of the condenser. To adjust, follow the steps
below.
Rotate either of the condenser knobs ①to raise it to the
highest position.
Rotate the 10x objective into the light path and focus the
specimen.
Rotate the field iris diaphragm adjustment ring ② to put
the field iris diaphragm to the smallest position.
Rotate the condenser knob and adjust the image to be its
sharpest.
Using the Hex wrench provided, adjust the center
adjustment screws ③ and move the specimen to the
center of the field of view.
Open the field iris diaphragm gradually. If the image is in
the center all the time and inscribed to the field of view, the
condenser has been centered correctly.
On the front of the condenser, select the number that
matches your objective lens.
Adjusting the Aperture Diaphragm –
(Fig. 24)
The aperture size is increased or decreased by rotating
the condenser aperture diaphragm ring ①. When the
aperture is closed, the brightness and resolution are
decreased but the contrast and range of focus are
increased. If the aperture diaphragm is opened, the
brightness and resolution are increased; however, the
contrast and range of focus are diminished. For optimal
viewing conditions set the condenser aperture diaphragm
ring to match the magnification of the objective in the
optical path.
