This stereo microscope is well designed and sturdily built. It has high quality optics and
precision mechanics. The inclined head rotates 360 degrees for comfortable viewing.
The S90017 stereo-zoom microscope includes 10x widefield eyepieces, and 0.7x to 4.5x
zoom lens for a total magnification of 7x to 45x. The 3 way illumination switch gives you
3 options for lighting your specimen:
A. Upper and lower lamps on simultaneously
B. Upper lamp only
C. Lower lamp only
Introduction:
Assembly:
Remove the head and eyepieces from the packaging. Slide head into stand, and secure in
place by tightening the thumb screw. Remove the eyepieces from protective wrapping,
and slide into eyetubes. Slide fluorescent ring lamp onto objective turrect, and secure in
place with the 3 ring lamp tumb screws. Your microscope is now ready to use.
Turn the microscope on using the on/off switch. Place your sample on the stage plate and
look through the eyepieces. Adjust the focusing knob until your specimen is in focus.
Adjust the interpupillary distance of your eyepieces utilizing the “folding” motion of the
head. Both eyes should be focusing on your sample. If one eye appears out of focus,
focus on the specimen with your right eye only. Once in focus with the right eye, close
that eye and look at the sample with your left eye. If sample is out of focus, use the di-
opter adjustment on the left eyetube to bring it into focus. Once this is done, your micro-
scope is ready for use and dioptic differences have been adjusted. Zoom in on your
specimen using the zoom dial. The microscope comes with a frosted stage plate, and a
black and white stage plate. The frosted plate is used on transparent specimens that light
can pass through. Use the black and white stage plate for macro objects that require light
from the top. Try viewing your specimen with both sides of the black and white plate to
get the best image.
