moistened with a small amount of xylol or 3:7 mixture of natalite.
★(Note that the alcohol and ether are highly flammable, do keep them away from the fire or
potential sources of electrical sparks, use them in a drafty room as possible as you can.)
2.2 Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than
the glass components. To clean them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a
diluted neutral detergent.

2-2-3 Installing the objective(Chart 5 & 6)
1. Turning the coarse focusing knob①as the figure shows till the nosepiece
gets to its lower limit.
★For ensuring the safety of the instrument during transportation, the nosepiece
is located in the lowest position and the tension adjustment collar②is adjusted to
an appropriate tension while leaving the factory.
2. Screw the lowest magnification objective on to the nosepiece from the
nearside, then turn the nosepiece clockwise, mount other objectives
according the magnification sequence from low to high. Mounting
objective in this way will make it easier to change magnification.
★The objectives can also be mounted through the opening on the stage.
★Clean the objectives periodically, for the objectives used in the inverted
microscope are susceptible to dust. Do not forget to use the dust cover when
you do not use it.
★Do cover all the unused holes 1 on the nosepiece with dust caps, to prevent
the dirt and dust from coming inside(chart 6).
★When operating, use the low magnification objective (5X or 10X)
to search and
focus the specimen at first, then change to the higher magnification objectives
if necessary.
★When replacing the objective, turn the nosepiece slowly until you hear
“clicked”, that means the objective enters into the right position-centerofthe
light path.
