Ⅰ. Configuration Instruction
1. BS-2073 is the basic model and uses NIS45 system;
2. BS-2074 is coding model, using NIS60 system, with brightness memory, wire resistance stage and other
configurations.
Ⅱ. Principle and Application
Principle: Using the appropriate adjustment combination of two lens sets, the specimen is magnified and
observed. The inverted real image is obtained through objective, then the image is further
magnified by the eyepiece.
Application: Biological microscope is used by medical and health units, colleges and universities, research
institutes for the observation of microorganism, cell, bacteria, tissue culture, suspension,
sediment,etc.
Ⅲ. Safety Marks
The Following marks are on the microscope. Figure out the meaning of these symbols and always use the
microscope in the safest way.
Ⅳ. Safety Note
1. Open the box carefully to avoid the accessories, like lens, being polluted by fingerprint or sweat strain,
dropping to ground and being damaged.
2. Do keep the microscope out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, dusty and easy shaking
environment. Make sure the stage is flat, horizontal and firm enough.
3. When moving the microscope, carefully carry it with the handle and the base.
4. If the bacterium solution or the water splash to the stage, objective or viewing tube, pull out the power
cord at once, and wipe up the microscope. Otherwise, the instrument will be damaged.
5. To keep at least 10cm distance all around between the microscope and other objects for ventilating and
cooling.
6. Make sure the instrument is earthed, to avoid lighting strike.
7. For safety, be sure the main switch is in “O” (off) state and cut off the power supply before replacing
the fuse. Check the input voltage: be sure the input voltage which is signed in the back of the microscope
is consistent with the power supply voltage, or it will bring a serious damage to the instrument.
8. Always use the power cord provided by us.

Ⅴ. Maintenance and Care
1. All the lenses have been adjusted properly, do not dismount them by yourself please.
2. The nosepiece and coarse and fine focusing parts are so delicate that it is forbidden to disassemble them
carelessly by yourself.
3. Keep the instrument clean, wipe dust every day, and do not pollute the optical element when wiping
away the dust on the instrument. Clean the Objective by professional staff once a month.
4. The contaminations on the prism, as finger mark and oil, could be gently wiped with a piece of lens
tissue which has been immersed in a small amount of the mixture of xylene(70%) and alcohol(30%). Note
that the xylene and the alcohol are all burned easily. When in use, do not operate the power switch of
various electrical equipment, and do not let them near the fire. Please make sure the room is ventilation.
5. Don’t use organic solvent to wipe the non-optical elements, when you need to clean, use the soft
detergent, please.
6. When using, if the microscope is splash by liquid, cut off the power at once, and wipe up the moisture.
7. Do not disassemble any parts of the microscope. That will affect the function or decline the
performance of the microscope.
8. Place the instrument in a cool, dry position. After using the microscope, remember to cover it with dust
helmet. Do wait for the lamp house cooling completely before cover.
9. Using environment:
a) Use indoor;
b) Working temperature: 0℃~40℃;
c) Maximum relative humidity: it is 80% for temperature of 31℃, the following is the linear decrease,
70% for 34℃, 60% for 37℃, 50% for 40℃;
d) The highest elevation is 2000m。
10. Storage and transport environment:
a) Range of working temperature: -25℃~+65℃
b) Range of relative humidity: 0%~90%
Warnings:
It may harm the safety of the users if not operating in accordance with the instructions. In addition, it
may damage the microscope. Please operate the microscope strictly according to this instruction.
Transmitted light sources (condenser or collector) may produce harmful optical radiation. Do not look
directly at the transmitted light, which may cause eye damage
◎This microscope will not cause radiation and the electromagnetic interference to the surrounding
environment, totally accordance with the EMC certification standards.
This instruction uses these symbols to mark prominent words:
means it will hurt the operator or damage the equipment (objects around included)
without paying attention to the warnings in this instruction.
★means it will damage the equipment if not following the instruction.
◎means comments (for operating and maintenance)

2.1 Assembly Diagram
The diagram below shows how to assemble the various components. The numbers indicate the order of assembly.
When assembling the components, make sure that all parts are free of dust and dirt, and avoid scratching
any parts or touching glass surfaces.
Keeping the hexagon- spanner well, when change the spare parts, you will use it.

2.2 Assembly Procedure
2.2.1 Installing the Objective (Fig.1-2)
1. Adjust the coarse focus knob until the support device of
the mechanical stage reach its low limit position.
2. Screw the lowest magnification objective into the
nosepiece from the left or the right side, then revolve the
nosepiece clockwise/counterclockwise and mount other
objectives by the sequence of low to high magnification.
◎Installing objective this way will make the change of
magnification to be easier during using.
★BS-2074 Model: Turn on the power supply. The
corresponding objective magnification on the LCD screen
will be highlighted (as shown in figure 3) when the
nosepiece moves to a certain position. Then install the
corresponding objective at this location.
★Clean the objective regularly, for lens is susceptible to
dust.
★When operating, use 10× magnification objective to
search and focus specimen firstly, then replace with
higher magnification objective if necessary.
★When replacing the objective, slowly turn the nosepiece
until you hear “clicked”, that means the objective enter
the required position--the light path center.

2.2.2 Connecting the power cord (Fig.4-5)
★The cable and cords are vulnerable when bent or twisted,
never subject the power cord to excessive force.
1. Set the main switch① to “O” (off) state before connecting
the power cord.
2. Insert the plug② into the power socket ③of the
microscope safely. Make sure the connection is well.
3. Insert the plug④on the other end of the power cord into
the power supply receptacle⑤ safely. Make sure the
connection is well.
★Do use the supplied power cord all the time. If lost or
damaged, select the same standard cord, please.
★Insert the power adapter into the holeⅡto charge for
charging model.
★Wrap the power cord around the back cover I when not in
use.
★Make sure that used voltage is consistent with the
required input voltage of instrument. If it is inconsistent,
please contact the supplier.
2.2.3 Replace the fuse (Fig.6-7)
The main switch must be set to the state “O” (OFF) before
replacing the fuse. Open the drawer of the fuse box by
Allen wrench at first. Then as shown in the figure 7, push
the fuse out gently through square hole under the fuse
drawer with Allen wrench.
★The middle of the fuse is thin glass. Please be careful
when you open the fuse drawer and push out the fuse.

2.2.4 Mounting the filters (Fig.8)
Place the required filter into the appropriate hole of the
collector.
2.2.5 LED lamp replacement (Fig.9-11)
◎Generally, LED lamp is very durable, so it is not easy to
damage. If it is unfortunately damaged, please purchase the
LED (Fig.11) from your vendors.
1. Loosen the screw “I”of brightness adjustment knob to take
the brightness adjustment knob down. Loosen six screws of
the bottom plate to open the bottom plate①;
2. Loosen screw② to take the LED lamp③ down and unplug
the connector④from the breadboard. Mount new LED
lamp, tighten screw② and insert the connector fully into
the breadboard.
★Note: Be careful to take the bottom plate down slowly in
case that the wire inside the microscope is pulled apart.
