Stereoscopic microscopes are designed for viewing 3-dimensional objects, inspection, or assembly of small
parts, and for dissection of biological specimen at low magnification. The 45° inclined viewing head provides
an upright, unreversed image which permits easy manipulation of object being viewed while looking through
the microscope. The incidental and transmitted illuminators incorporate high intensity 3 watt LED lamps.
For optimum viewing satisfaction, follow these simple procedures. Nomenclature used to describe
components and controls can be identified by referring to the diagram at left.
UNPACKING
Remove and unpack box containing post stand with 90mm diameter black/white contrast plate installed from
master carton, along with AC power cord. Remove and unpack box containing zoom head assembly, one pair
of eyepieces, 2 each rubber eye shields, 0.90mm and 2mm “L” hex key wrench, 95mm frosted stage plate and
dust cover.
1. Make certain not to touch any of the lens surfaces while handling the microscope. Dust, dirt, fingerprints
can damage the delicate lens surfaces or adversely affect image quality.
2. Examine packing material before you discard it. Retain the packing boxes in case you need to transport,
store, or return the microscope for service. If it becomes necessary to ship the microscope for any reason,
pack it in the original boxes and then pack these boxes in outer corrugated shipping container for optimum
protection. Use of the inadequate packing will not provide adequate protection in transit and will void your
warranty.

AC cord into appropriate 100 to 240 volt AC outlet.
OPERATION

1. ILLUMINATION
A. The microscope is furnished with two stage plates. The frosted glass plate is used when viewing
transparent specimen slides or for viewing some specimen thin enough through which light can pass
(insect wings, etc.) The plastic black/white contrast plate can be used when viewing opaque objects or
for dissecting. Choose side of plate providing best contrast with specimen.
To change plates, remove black/white stage plate by putting finger in relief and press edge of stage
plate to the front of base and remove plate. Install frosted glass stage plate by inserting into opening
and pressing forward and down into base.
B. There are two rocker type light controls located on the rear top surface of microscope base.
“I” = Turns incidental light ON and OFF (top illumination)
“II” = Turns transmitted light ON and OFF (substage illumination)
C. Light intensity control located on side of base. This control varies the light intensity of either the
transmitted or incidental LED illuminators.
D. Select and push appropriate rocker switch to ON position to turn desired incidental or transmitted
illuminators on.
E. Adjust brightness of LED illuminator with intensity control knob located on side of microscope, rotating
control varies intensity of both transmitted and incidental illuminators.
2. INTERPUPILLARY ADJUSTMENT
This permits each user to adjust spacing between eyepieces in order to accommodate distance between
their eyes. While looking through the microscope eyepieces with both eyes grasp eyepiece tube housings
with both hands and rotate them on their axis, moving eyepieces apart or together until a full field of view is
observed and images blend into one. Interpupillary distance is now corrected for your own inter-ocular
distance and does not require further adjustment later unless another user changes this adjustment.
3. FOCUSING
A. Adjust zoom control knobs (located on both sides of head) so that the lowest magnification number “1”
is positioned at the black index dot on head. Lower magnifications have larger fields of view, making it
easier to position and locate area to be viewed.
B. Place a flat object or specimen slide (cover glass up), on stage plate.
C. Position focusing knobs in the center of focusing range.
D. On post mounted models, the height of viewing head can be adjusted up or down on the post in order
to focus on difference sized objects. Loosen the locking knob located on the locking support collar,
allowing the support collar to slide down to bottom of post. While firmly holding viewing head with one
hand, loosen locking knob located on back of focusing assembly so that head can move freely up or
down on post.
While looking through microscope, move viewing head up or down on post until object can be seen in
approximate focus. Tighten focusing assembly locking knob. Position the support collar under the
focusing block and tighten locking knob on support collar. It is not necessary to make this adjustment
every time you change objects to be viewed, so long as the different objects are of similar thickness or
height.
E. Both eyepieces have knurled diopter adjustment rings. Rotate both left and right diopters in a
clockwise direction to the lowest position.

4
F. Adjust zoom control to the highest magnification by aligning the number “4” on knob to the black index
dot on head.
G. While looking through right eyepiece with one eye, rotate focusing control knob until specimen comes
into sharp focus through right eyepiece.
H. Adjust zoom control knob to the lowest magnification.
I. Adjust the right diopter until the image is sharp. Do not change the focusing knob position.
J. Without changing the position of the focusing knob, adjust the left eyepiece diopter until you obtain a
sharp image in left eyepiece. The image should now be sharp throughout the zoom power range.

1. OPTICAL MAINTENANCE
A. Do not attempt to disassemble any lens components. Consult a microscope service technician when
any repairs not covered by instructions are needed.
B. Prior to cleaning any lens surface, brush dust or lint off lens surface using a camel hairbrush. You can
also use an ear syringe or canned compressed air, such as that sold by most computer stores.
C. To clean eyepiece lenses, do not remove from eyepiece tube. Clean only the outer lens surface.
Breath on lens to dampen surface, then wipe with lens paper or tissue or use a cotton swab moistened
with distilled water. Wipe lenses with a circular motion, applying as little pressure as possible. Avoid
wiping dry lens surface as lenses are scratched easily. If excessive dirt or grease gets on lens
surfaces, a small amount of Windex can be used on a cotton swab or lens tissue. To clean objective
