I、Safety note
1. Carefully open the box, avoid the accessories, like lens, dropping to ground and being damaged.
2. Do keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, dusty and easy
shaking environment. Make sure the stage is smooth, horizontal and firm enough.
3. When moving the instrument, please use two hands to grip with the two sides of the microscope
body.
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. When running, the lamp house and nearby parts will be very hot. Please ensure there is enough
cooling room for them.
6. Make sure the instrument is earthed, to avoid lighting strike.
7. For safety, be sure the main switch is in “O”(off) state before replace the halogen lamp or the fuse,
then cut off the power, and do the operation after the lamp bulb and the lamp house completely
cool.
8. Check the input voltage: be sure the input voltage which signed in the back of the
microscope is consistent with the power supply voltage, or it will bring a serious
damage to the instrument.
9. Use the factory supplied power cord, please.
II、Maintenance
1. All the lenses have been well checked and adjusted. It is forbidden to disassemble them yourself.
2. The nosepiece and coarse/fine focus unit have a compact and precise frame, please don’t
disassemble them as possible as you can.
3. Keep the instrument clean, wipe dust regularly, and be attention to avoid contaminating the
optical elements especially.
4. The contaminations on the prism, as finger mark and oil, could be gently wiped with a piece of soft
cloth or tissue paper, gauze which has been immersed in pure alcohol or xylene. (note that the
alcohol and the xylene are all burned easily, do not let them near the fire, and use them in a
drafty room as possible as you can.)
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.

3.2 Operation
3.2.1 Adjusting the Illumination (Fig.20,21)
1. Connect the power, turn on the main switch (figure 15) to
“-”(on).
2. Turning the brightness adjustment knob anti-clockwise, the
voltage raise, and the brightness strengthen; turning it
clockwise, the voltage decline, and the brightness weaken.
 Using the lamp in a low voltage condition, will prolong the
use life.
3.3.2 Placing Specimen (Fig.22)
1. Place the slide on the mechanical stage. Use the stage
clips to clamp the slide gently.
2. Turn the portrait and lateral adjustment knob of the
mechanical ruler, move the specimen onto the required
position.
Be careful when changing the objective. If you finish
the observation with the short working distance
objective, and want to change another one, be careful
of not letting the objective touch the specimen.
3.3.3 Focusing (Fig.23)
1、Use the 10×objective focus, to avoid the objective touch with
the specimen, you should raise the mechanical stage at first,
let the specimen close to the objective, then slowly separating
them to focus.
The operator can converse turn the coarse focus knob①to get
the specimen down ,and search images in the 10×ocular
simultaneously, then use the fine knob②to focus. At this
moment, you can replace other magnification objectives safely,
and focus without the risk of destroying the specimen.
 If you need to fix the stage on a vertical position
to make the observation become more convenience, take
use of the locking set.

3.3.4 Adjusting the Condenser(Fig.24)
Turn the condenser focus knob to shift the condenser. It
needs to raise the condenser when using the high
magnification objective, and to decline when using the
low magnification one.
 The center of the condenser and the light axes
of the objective are coaxial. It has been
adjusted before leaving factory, so the user
needn’t to adjust them by self.
 The highest position of the condenser has been
adjusted too. It also needn’t any user’s
operation.
3.3.5 Adjusting the Aperture Diaphragm
(Fig.25)
Turn the Aperture Diaphragm Lever①，to adjust
the aperture size.
 Aperture Diaphragm is designed for adjusting
the aperture size, not for adjusting
brightness.
Generally, reducing the diaphragm opening to
70- 80% of the N.A. value of the respective
objective will provide an image of acceptable
quality. If you want to observe the image of
the aperture diaphragm, remove one eyepiece
and look through the tube. You will see a dark
circle encroaching on the bottom of the tube.
3.3.6 Adjusting the Interpupillar Distance
(Fig.26)
The interpupillar distance range:55mm～75mm.
When observing with two eyes, hold on the left and
right prism holder, turn around the axis, adjust the
interpupillar distance until the left and right fields
of view coincide completely.

3.3.3 Adjusting the Diopter(Fig.27)
1. Observe the right ocular tube with your right eye. Turn the
Coarse & Fine Focus Knob to focus the specimen.
Observe the left ocular tube with your left eye. If not in
focus just adjust the Diopter Ring① to make it in focus.
★ the range of Diopter Ring is ±5, as the value
align the reticle② of the ring.
3.3.9 Adjusting the Tension Adjustment
Collar(Fig.28)
 The tightness of the tension adjustment collar has
adjusted before leaving factory, if finding it’s
loosing (the mechanical stage drop itself because
of deadweight), please turning the tension
adjustment collar① until the tightness is in
order. Turn it along the direction show in the
picture, the Coarse Focus Knob② will become
tighter. Turn anti-direction will become loosen.
If the mechanical stage drop itself, or even lose
focus just after adjusting the fine focus knob③.
Mean the tightness of the Coarse Focus Knob② is too
low. You should turn the tension adjustment collar
along the direction show in the picture to make it
tighter.
