4. Getting started
4.1 Prior to commissioning
Before first operation check the item for transport
damages. Claim any transport damages immediately
with the supplier.
Check the device for its proper condition. In
particular, check the mains connection for
damage, such as pinching, cracks or ageing! Do not
commence operation if the mains connection is
damaged! Check the nominal voltage of the device
prior to connecting to the mains. The voltage given
on the type plate must correspond to the local mains
voltage. The mains connection plug is to be plugged
into a grounded, protected mains socket.
4.2 Location
Only operate the device in enclosed areas
that are not exposed to environmental
factors. Install the device on a dry, even surface.
Select the location so that the device is not exposed
to high temperatures, direct sunlight, strong vibra-
tions, blows or impacts.
5. Handling
5.1 Using with a stand (item no. 86000)
The device is supplied almost entirely pre-assem-
bled.
• Raise the microscope knob a few centimetres
using the drive knob (5).
• Loosen the clamping screw for the microscope
head (3) and turn the microscope knob so that
the oculars (1) are facing the user. Secure the
clamping screw (3) again.
• Place both ocular viewfinders (8) on the oculars
(1).
• Unscrew the protective cap from the objective
tube (4) by turning it anticlockwise.
• Look through both oculars (1) and adjust the ocu-
lar distance in line with the interpupillary distance
by turning the objectives (9) inwards or outwards.
• For the required contrast in each case, select
either the black or the white side of the specimen
stage (15). To secure the stage, turn the clamping
screw (16) tightly by hand.
• Place the specimen to be viewed under the
microscope on the specimen stage.
• In the case of larger specimens, the distance
setting selected using the drive knobs at the side
may not be sufficient.
Adjust the distance using the locking knob (7).
Guide values:
W= Widefield; Oculars 10x (supplied), other magni-
fications optionally available.
• Required magnification (1x or 2x) by turning the
objective tube (4) by 90° in each case.
• For fine adjustment, use the drive button (5) to
modify the distance to the object in order to
achieve maximum image precision.
• Set dioptre compensation (2) to suit individual
requirements.

• The working distance and field of vision can be
further increased using the optional FINO add-on
lens with 0.5x reducing optics (item no. 86006).
The add-on lens can be screwed onto the quick-
action revolver.
5.2 Using with a joint arm
(item no. 86001)
The joint arm can be screwed on securely at the
workstation or secured flexibly using the table clamp
supplied. For both types of attachment, choose a
smooth, stable, horizontal surface for assembly.
Fixed assembly of the joint arm:
The screws must be drilled directly into the work
surface and leave drill holes.
• In the area selected for assembly, mark four drill
holes at a distance of 45 mm and pre-drill the
holes for the screws supplied:
• For easier assembly, remove the screw-on-flange
from the lower end of the joint arm. To do so,
unscrew and remove both socket head screws
from the side of the flange using the socket
wrench supplied and remove the flange from the
pivot of the joint arm.
• Assemble the screw-on-flange on the worktop
using the screws supplied.
• Carefully reinsert the pivot into the screw-on-
flange at the lower end of the joint arm, screw in
both socket head screws again, and tighten using
the socket wrench. The tightening torque of the
screws determines the ease of the swivel move-
ment of the joint arm.
Flexible assembly of the joint arm using the table
clamp:
The work surface is not damaged.
• Unscrew the four pre-assembled machine screws
from the table clamp supplied.
• For easier assembly, remove the screw-on-flange
from the lower end of the joint arm. To do so,
unscrew and remove both socket head screws
from the side of the flange using the socket
wrench supplied and remove the flange from the
pivot of the joint arm.
• Align the drill holes of the screw-on-flange over
the drill holes of the table clamp and screw the
screw-on-flange tightly onto the table clamp
using the socket wrench and machine screws
supplied.
• Attach the table clamp at the required location
on the worktop.
• Carefully reinsert the pivot into the screw-on-
flange at the lower end of the joint arm, screw in
both socket head screws again, and tighten using
the socket wrench. The tightening torque of the
screws determines the ease of the swivel move-
ment of the joint arm.
Attaching the FINO stereo microscope to the joint
arm:
• Unscrew the locking knob for locking when using
the table stand (7), and place to one side.
• Loosen the clamp screw for the microscope head
(3) and remove the microscope head from the
drive box (6).
• On the upper joint of the joint arm, you will find
a small horizontal ball-and-socket joint with a
threaded bolt and a pre-assembled hex nut.
Screw the drive box (6) of the microscope onto
this threaded bolt.

ENU

• With the drive box seated horizontally, secure
using the hex nut.
• Place the microscope head back into the drive
box and seat securely using the clamp screw (3).
Joint adjustment
The joint arm has a friction joint that is addi-
tionally supported at the centre and in the foot by
internal springs.
In order to adjust the joint arm, the wing nuts on the
joint arm must not be opened. The wing nuts are
used for basic adjustment of the friction and for
occasional readjustment.
Note:
The foot joint is adjusted using the quick-
release lever. The quick-release lever can transmit
forces that are so strong that the joint is completely
blocked. In this case, it is essential that the quick-
release lever is opened slightly prior to adjusting the
joint arm, as the joint arm will otherwise be dama-
ged.
Tip:
If the lever is pulled a little to the side away
from the joint, the lever can be moved to any requi-
red position without opening the joint.
Using the microscope:
• Place both ocular viewfinders (8) on the oculars
(1).
• Unscrew the protective cap from the objective
tube (4) by turning it anticlockwise.
• Look through both oculars (1) and adjust the ocu-
lar distance in line with the interpupillary distance
by turning the objectives (9) inwards or outwards.
• Place the specimen to be viewed under the
microscope on the specimen stage.
• In the case of larger specimens, the distance
setting selected using the drive knobs at the side
may not be sufficient.
Adjusting the distance using the joint arm (see
section on joint adjustment).
Guide values:
W= Widefield; Oculars 10x (supplied), other magnifi-
cations optionally available.
• Required magnification (1x or 2x) by turning the
objective tube (4) by 90° in each case.
• For fine adjustment, use the drive button (5) to
modify the distance to the object in order to
achieve maximum image precision.
