Assembling Steps
Euromex Microscopes BV always tries to keep the number of assembly steps as low as
possible for their customers but in some cases there are some steps to be taken. The
steps mentioned below are often not necessary but nonetheless described for your
convenience
MMoouunnttiinngg tthhee oobbjjeeccttiivveess
1. Rotate the coarse focusing knob to lower the stage to its lowest position
2. Install the objectives into the objective nosepiece from the lowest magnification to the highest in a clockwise
direction from the rear side of the microscope. When using the microscope, start using the low magnification
objective (4x or 10x) to find the specimen and focus, then continue with a higher magnification objective to
observe in more detail
PPllaacciinngg tthhee eeyyeeppiieecceess
The 360° rotatable heads are equipped with WF10x eyepiece(s) (H). The monocular head version is equipped with a
WF10x eyepiece (with pointer) which can be rotated and is locked with a screw. Please remove the screw before taking
out the eyepiece to prevent damage
1. Remove the cover(s) of the eyepiece tube(s)
2. Insert the eyepiece(s) into the eyepiece tube(s)
3. Lock the eyepiece(s) with a hexagon screw
LLoocckkiinngg tthhee eeyyeeppiieecceess

it will be damaged. Use the power cord that is supplied by Euromex. If it is lost or
damaged, choose one with the same specifications
Operation
Setting up the illumination:
For optimal contrast and resolution one should follow the
procedure below:
A. Place a specimen on the object stage and focus, using the
4x objective, with a fully opened iris diaphragm
B. Turn light intensity to lowest position, then look through
the eyepiece(s) and turn up to the comfortable light
intensity level
C. Turn the condenser in the highest position
D. Close the iris diaphragm, until it is just visible on the edge
of the field of view
The microscope is properly set for use with the 4x objective. For
each other magnification in bright field use, this procedure should be repeated to ensure the best balance between
contrast and resolution

Place the specimen slide
On the MB.1001 the slide is placed beneath the object clips. On the other models into the clamp of the mechanical
stage and can be carefully moved into X- and Y- directions (M)
1. Push the arm of the specimen holder backwards
2. Release the arm slowly clamping the slide with the cover glass facing up
3. Rotating the X and Y-axis knob will move the specimen to the center for alignment with the center of the
objective
Focusing and slide protection
1. Select the 4x objective and make sure that it is placed correctly in the optical path
2. Rotate the coarse adjustment knob to top, observe
the right eyepiece with your right eye. Rotate the
coarse focusing knob until the image appears
3. Rotate the fine focusing knob to sharpen the image
4. When you perform focusing with a S100x objective,
you need to lock the slide protection screw (D). The
slide protection screw protects the slide by limiting
the travel range of the mechanical stage. This way
the objectives will not touch or break your slides. In
case a standard version is purchased, including a
S100x objective, this is pre-set at the factory
Eyepieces
A binocular (or trinocular) tube is less tiring for the eyes compared to a monocular tube. In order to obtain a smooth
“compound” image, we recommend you to go through the steps below
1. The interpupillary distance
The correct interpupillary distance is reached when one round image is seen in the field of view (see image below). This
distance can be set by either moving the tubes towards each other or moving them away from each other. This distance
is different for each observer and thus should be set individually. When more users are working with the microscope it
is recommended to remember your interpupillary distance for a quick set-up during new microscopy sessions
2. The correct eye point
The eye point is the distance from the eyepiece to the user’s pupil. To obtain the correct eye point, move the eyes
towards the eyepieces until a sharp image is reached at a full field of view

3. Adjusting the diopter
This chapter is only applicable for bino and trino’s
• Set diopter adjustment ring to zero (I)
• Close the left eye and focus the right tube by adjusting the coarse- and fine adjustment knobs (O)
• Close the right eye and focus the left tube with the diopter adjustment ring
This procedure should be followed by each individual user. When more users are working on the same microscope it is
recommended to remember your own diopter setting for a quick set-up during new microscopy sessions
Abbe condenser
Beneath the object stage an Abbe condenser N.A. 1.25 is mounted (on all models except the MB.1001 and MB.1005-X
models, which have a fixed 0.65 condenser). The condenser can be adjusted in height by moving the lever beneath the
(mechanical) stage (N). By adjusting the condenser you can focus the light on the specimen for an optimized contrast.
The condenser is factory pre-centered. If needed, the following procedure can be followed to center the condenser
A. Move the condenser to its highest position
B. Select the 4x objective and place it into the light
path and focus the specimen
C. Slide the lever to adjust the diaphragm to the
smallest position
D. Adjust the condenser height to the point where
the image is the sharpest
E. Adjust the center adjustment screws using an
allen key and move the image of the condenser
ring to the center of the field of view
F. Open the diaphragm gradually
G. The condenser is centered correctly if the image
remains in the center when you open the
diaphragm
Use of the S100x oil-immersion objective
Some Euromex MicroBlue microscopes are equipped with an S100x N.A. 1.25 oil immersion objective. Please follow the
instructions below on how to use this objective:
1. Remove the dust protection cap from the revolving nosepiece to mount the S100x objective (the objective can
be premounted)
2. Focus the image with the S40x objective
Turn the revolving nosepiece so the S100x objective almost reaches the click-stop
3. Put a small drop of immersion oil on the center of the slide (always use Euromex Immersion oil)
4. Now turn the S100x objective so that you feel the click stop
5. The front lens is in contact with the immersion oil
6. Look through the eyepiece and focus the image with the fine adjustment knobs
7. The distance between the lens of the objective and the slide is very small!
8. In case there are small bubbles visible, turn the S100x objective a couple of times from left to right so that the
front of the objective moves in the oil and the bubbles will disappear
9. After using the S100x objective, loosen the slide protection handle and turn the table with the course
adjustment knobs downwards until the front lens doesn’t touch the oil any longer. Clean the front lens of the
S100x objective

10. Always clean the front lens of the S100x objective with a piece of lens paper that is moistened with a drop of
isopropanol. We recommend using Euromex lens paper and isopropanol
11. Clean the slide after use as well
CCaauuttiioonn
• Never put a drop of xylol or alcohol directly on the lens of the objective. It could enter the objective and
dissolve the glue that holds the lenses!
• Avoid oil contact with any of the other objectives!
Safety device
To prevent damage to the objective lens, or breaking the slide, all types are equipped with a pre-fixed safety device
It is recommended to use slides of 1.0 – 1.2 mm thickness (product numbers: PB.5150, PB.5155, PB.5160) in
combination with cover glasses of 0.13 mm or 0.17 mm thickness (product numbers: PB.5165, PB.5168)
Illumination MicroBlue serie
The LED illumination of the MicroBlue is equipped with rechargeable batteries. The length of use after charging is about
48 hours. The full charging time is about 10 hours. At first use the batteries will have to be fully charged. Connect the
external power supply unit to the power inlet socket. For all models with batteries it is highly recommended to use the
microscope with power supply disconnected to keep the batteries in good working condition and recharge after
batteries run empty
The illumination has the following specifications:
• LED/NeoLED : 1W, 300 mA (monocular)
• 1W NeoLED : 1W, 300mA equipped with Fresnel lens (for biocular and trinocular models)
• External Charger : Primary AC 85 – 100-240V Volt-50/60Hz 0.3A.
• Batteries : 3 NiMh, AA type, 1.2 Volt 1600 - 2000 mA.
Maintenance and cleaning
Always place the dust cover over your MicroBlue microscope after use. Always keep
the eyepiece and objectives mounted on the microscope to avoid dust entering the
instrument
Cleaning the optics
When the lens of the eyepiece or the front lens of the S40x, S60x or S100x objective
is dirty, they can be cleaned by wiping a piece of lens paper over the surface (circular
movements). When this does not help put a drop of alcohol on the lens paper and
wipe it. Never put xylol or alcohol directly on the lens! Please note that Euromex
offers a special microscope cleaning kit: PB.5275
It is not necessary – and not recommended – to clean the lens surfaces at the inner side of the objectives. Sometimes
dust can be removed with high pressured air. There will never be dust in the objectives if the objectives are not
removed from the revolving nosepiece
CCaauuttiioonn
Cleaning cloths containing plastic fibers can damage the coating of the lenses!
11

12
Maintenance of the stand
Dust can be removed with a brush. In case the stand or table is really dirty then you can clean the surface with a non-
aggressive cleaning product
Moving parts, like mechanical stage, contain ball bearings that are not dust sensitive. With a drop of sewing-machine oil
you can lubricate the bearing
Changing the batteries of the MicroBlue

* models with LCD-screen
Digital cameras are designed to be used on the
photo port of the microscope head. It is also
possible to use the digital camera in combination
with a monocular or binocular head. Simply
remove the eyepiece and place the camera with
mounted c-mount adapter into the eyepiece
tube (see image below). Focus the digital image
with the coarse and fine controls of the
microscope
For trinocular models, slide the camera with mounted c-mount adapter into the 23,2mm tube of the photo tubus. For
focussing; loosen the ring (A) and slowly unscrew the tube (B) you will be able to match parfocality of the camera with
the view through the eyepieces. Adjustment can be made by raising/lowering the height of the camera (C). Take an
easy-to-view specimen and focus the image through the microscope’s eyepieces (with dioptre adjustment set on “0”).
Afterwards, perform this height adjustment procedure while watching the image on the computer screen. In this case,
once you have obtained parfocality in the device, screw the ring (A) back (see image below)
Follow the manual that comes with the camera for camera operation
