Operation
1) As microscope is a precision instrument, handle with care, avoiding impact or
abruptmovementduringtransportation.
2) Microscope ought to be placed inadry and clean place. Do not expose the
microscope in the sun directly. Avoid high temperatureandviolent vibration.
Usually, followingenvironment is required indoortemperature: 0°C - 40 °C, Max.
relative humidity:85%.
3) To keepthe imageclear, do notleave fingerprints or stains on the surfaces of
the lens.
4) Beforeuse,pleasecheck the power supply in compliance with the microscope
power required.
5) Never turn the leftand rightfocusingknob in theadversedirection at the same
time, otherwise the microscopewill be damaged.
6) Whenusephotoset to captureimage,please ensure the stability of microscope,
make sure the mainbody inclinedless than 3°.
7) When use camera with C-mount, the camera sensor size should be less than
2/3”, weightnot more than2.5kg.
Maintenance
1) All lenses must be keptclean. Fine dust on the surface of the lens should be
blown off with hand blower or wipedoff gently withasoft lenstissue;
Fingerprints or oil marked on it should be wiped off with a tissuemoistened with
a small amount of xylene or a 3:7 mixture of alcoholand ether.
2) Never use the organicsolution to cleanthe othersurface (especially the plastic
surfaces). If necessary, please choosethe neutraldetergent.
3) Do not take the microscopeapart for fearing that it is damaged.
4) After using, coverthe microscopewith the dust-coverprovidedand store it in a
dry and cleanplace free from moisture to prevent rust.

Up
Fig.1
3.1 Use black and white work board
(1) If the specimen is white or transparent, make the black one as
background, to enhance the contrast.
(2) Take off or changethework board, move the work board (Fig.1)
make one sidedown, then the other side will be up.(Fig. 1)
Adjust the degree of tightness of the focusing arm.
Loose
Fig.2
Tension
(1) If you want to adjust tightness of the focusing arm, you can
hold one of the focusing knobs and turn another one to attain a
suitable tightness. The degree of tightness relies on the
direction to be turned. The reverse direction is tight, otherwise, is
loose.
(2)The suitable position of tightness can make the adjustment
more comfortable and prevent the focusing bracket from slipping
down by its weight during the observation. (Fig.2)
Set the specimenslide
(1) Set thespecimen on the center of stage plate. If necessary,
clamp the slide with the clips.
(2)Turn on the light.

Adjustthe specimenslide
(1) Turn the zoom control knob to the maximum magnification.
(2) Turn the diopteradjusting rings to the zero.
(3) Observe the specimen through the right eyepiece and make
the imageclear by turning the focusing knob.
(4) Rotate the zoom control knob to theminimum magnification.
(5) Observe the specimen through the right eyepiece and make
the imageclear by turning the right diopter adjusting ring.(Fig.3)
(6) Re-do the step(3)and (5) till the right adjusting ring is more precise.
(7) Do the step (4) and make the image clear which is observed
through the left eyepiece by turning the left diopter adjusting ring.

Adjust the interpupillary distance
(1) Adjust the prism housing along the direction of arrow of
the Fig.4 till the observation is comfortable.

Mount and Remove the Optional Eyepiece
Micrometer
(1) Turn and remove the mounting ring from the eyepiece.(Fig.5)
(2) Clean the eyepiece micrometer and mount it to the mounting
with the inscriptionside downward.
(3) Gently twist the mounting ring with the eyepiece micrometer
into the eyepiece till tightening securely.
(4) To remove the eyepiece micrometer, take down the mounting
ring by twisting and take out of the micrometer, and then wrap it.
Auxiliary
objecive

Fig.8
Use Auxiliary objective
(1) Connect the Auxiliary objective to the thread at the bottom
of the microscope head.
(2) 0.5x Auxiliary objective has long working distance. When use
0.5x auxiliary objective, release the lock screw on the arm by
a 4mm Allen key, move the focus arm up and fixed in the up
screw hole.(Fig 6)
0.75x auxiliary objective no need to remove arm.
MountPK-mountandphoto set
(1) Screw the PK-mount in the head, M28 screw, tight the
mount.(Fig.7)
(2) Loosen the screw on the PK-mount , take out the mount of C
type camera .
(3) Screw the C type mount in the TV photo set.
(4) Install the TV photo set into the PK-mount and lock the screw.
Focusing the TV photo set
(1) Turn the zoom control knob to the maximum magnification,
meanwhile, observe the TV set, adjust until the image is clear.
(2) Rotate the zoom control knob to the min.magnification. If the
image is not clear enough, adjust the part until the image clear.
(3) Redo the step (1), turn the zoom control knob to the maximum
magnification to check the image is clear or not. If not clear, redo
step(1)and (2), untilthe image is clear in all the zoom range.
