SAFETY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
2.3 CARE & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. General Instructions
•Protect the stereo microscope from moisture, fumes and acids and from alkaline, caustic and
corrosive materials.
• Protect the stereo microscope from oil and grease. Never grease or oil mechanical parts or sliding
surfaces.
•Follow the instructions of the disinfectant manufacturer.
•We recommend concluding a service contract with Labomed.
2. Cleaning the lenses
To clean the lens surfaces, remove dust using a soft brush or gauze (compressed air dust cans are
ideal). For removing finger marks or grease, soft cotton cloth/ lens tissue or gauze lightly moistened
with cleaning solution ( 85% petroleum ether and 15% isopeopanol) should be used. For cleaning the
optics, use xylene. Observe sufficient caution in handling xylene.
Cleaning procedure
Place the eyepieces on the dust-free surface (e.g. fresh aluminum foil). All other optical components
to be cleaned should be as accessible as possible.
a. Blow all loose dust particles away with a dust blower.
b. Remove all water-soluble dirt with distilled water. If this is unsuccessful repeat using a solution of
diluted hand soap liquid. Remove any remaining residue with a dry cotton swab.
c. To remove oil, use a solution of diluted hand-soap liquid initially. If this does not produce a satisfac-
tory result, repeat the cleaning using a solvent (Optical Cleaning Solution 85% petroleum ether and
15% isopropanol).
d. Grease must always be removed using a solvent.
e. Cleaning is achieved by using a spiral motion from the center to the rim. Never wipe using zig-zag
movements as this will only spread the dirt. With larger optical surfaces (e.g. tube lenses) the spiral
motion starts initially at the rim before to the middle and is only then followed by a center to rim
cleaning motion. Normally several spiral wipes are recommended. We recommend pure, volatile
petroleum ether or Optical Cleaning Solution as explained in point 3 above.
Zig-Zag motion Spiral motion
Wipe using a spiral movement. Do not use a zig-zag motion!
3. Cleaning of painted surfaces
Avoid the use of any organic solvent (e.g. thinner, xylene, ether, alcohol etc.) for cleaning of painted
surfaces of the instrument. Painted surfaces can be cleaned with a very lightly moistened micro fiber
cloth. Loose dust and dirt can be removed using a brush of soft hair used exclusively for this purpose.

8.3 IPD ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment should be performed every time the observer
is changed since the interpupillary distance differs between
Individuals. Adjust the interpupillary distance so that the view
field for each eye is merged into one. Move while holding each
sleeve with both hands.
The interpupillary distance is correctly set if you see a single
circular image field when looking at a specimen.
If you are still a novice microscope user, you may need a short
time to become accustomed to this. Not to worry – after a little
while, it will become automatic.
Adjusting the interpupillary distance
1. Look into the eyepieces.
2. Hold the eyepieces with both hands. Push the eyepieces
together or separate them until you see a circular image.
3. Slowly approach the eyepieces with your eyes until you can see
the complete image field without corner cutting.
8.4 FOCUSING OF MICROSCOPE

8.7 USE OF COMMON MAIN OBJECTIVES
1. Remove the protective cap from the optics carrier ‘A’ by
turning it.
Hold the objective ‘A’ firmly during assembly and disassembly
so that it does not fall onto the stage plate. This applies particu-
larly to the 1x or 1.25x planapochromatic objective,which is very
heavy. Remove all specimens from the stage plate first.
2. Screw in the objective clockwise completly into the optics
carrier.
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF OBJECTIVES
To meet the various requirements regarding imaging properties,
there is a choice of highquality interchangeable planachromatic
and planapochromatic objectives and also lowerpriced inter-
changeable achromatic objectives.
•Achromatic objectives are particularly suited for specimens
with high-contrast structures.
• Flat-field (planachromatic) objectives are particularly well
suited for studying flat objects such as wafers and thin
sections.
•With planapochromatic objectives, the finest structures are
visible with high contrast. The sophisticated apochromatic
correction allows these objectives to attain the highest color
brilliance and fidelity.
Achromatic objectives
The 0.32×, 0.5×, 0.63×, 0.8×, 1× achromatic objectives offer countless variants for selecting
the object field diameter, magnification ranges and working distances.
Planachromatic objective 1.25×
For the highest requirements for overall image quality, we recommend equipping the microscope
with the 1.25× plan (flat-field) objective, which returns sharp, contrast-rich object fields.
