ZOOM STEREO MICROSCOPE
WARNING
This instruction manual has been prepared for use of the
Zoom Stereo Microscope Mode/ Sf3060 /4045/&W/6045/
1145. We recommend reading this manual careful& in order to
familiarize yoursef with its use so that you may obtain optimum
pedormance from your model.

BEFORE USE 1
Operation
(1)
As the microscope is a piece of precision equipment, always handle with care, avoiding abrupt
movement or impact during transportation or operation of controls.
(21
Aveld exposure to drrect sunl~ght,high temperature and hum~dity,dust and vibration.
(3)
Avoid leaving dirt or f~ngerpr~nts on rhe lens surfaces, as a dirty mirror or lenses may reduce
Image clarltv.
(4)
Never turn the right and left zoom control knobs in oppos~te direct~ons, as malfunction may
result.
Care and Storage
1 ) Clean all glass components by wiping gently w~th gauze. To removef~ngerprintsor ail smudges,
wipe w~th gauze slightly rno~szened with a mixture of ether (70%) and aicohol (30%).
A Since solvents such as ether and alcohol are highly flammable, they must be handled
carefully. Be
sure to keep these chemicals away from open flames or potential sources of
electrical sparks - for example, electrical equipment that is being switched on or off.
Also remember to always use these chemicals only in a welt-ventilated room.
12)
Do not use organic solut~onsto wipe the surfaces of other components Plastic parts especially,
should be cleaned w~th a neutral detergent.
(3)
Never attempt to disassemble the microscope as decreased performance may result
14) When not in use, be sure to cover the microscope with the dust cover provided, and store in
an area free from moisture to prevent rust.

Use of stage Plates
111 Usually, the stage plates are used w~ththe frosted white slde facing
the oblective. However, if the specimen
IS wh~teor br~ghtlycolored, use
the
black side of the plate as the darkened background Increases image
contrast.
121 To remove the stage plates, press down the supporting end of the plate
w~th a fingertip, and the other end will flip up. (Fig. 1)
Tension Adjumnent of Focusing Knob.
(1) Turn one focus~ngknob w~ththe other focusing knob tightened, by
holdlng both knobs, In order to increase or decrease the rotation tension,
depend~ngon the turning dlrect~on.(Fig. 2)
12) Th~sadlustment is Intended to preventthe microscopebody from drifting.
Set the knob tenslon at a level slightly st~fferthan that to ensure no
unintentronalmovement and facilitate easy operation.
(1 Place the specimen inthe center of the stage plate,and holdthe speclmen
w~ththe stage clips if necessary.
121 Iltum~nate the specimen uslng an opt~onalillum~nator.
Diopter Adjustment and Focwing
For 523060, SZ4045 and SZ4060
(1) Min~mizethe magn~fcatlon power by turnlng the zoom control knobs.
(2) Looking through the rlght eyepiece, bring the specimen Into focus by
rurnlng the focusing knobs
(31 Lnoklng through the left eyepiece, bring the speclmen into focus by
turnlng the d~opteradjustment ring. 1F1g.
3)
(4) Max~mizethe magn~ficat~onpower by turnlng the zoom control knobs,
and bring the specimen Into
focus by turning the focusing knobs.
For SZ6045 and SZlt45
(1) Maxlmize the magniflcatlon power by turnlng the zoom control knobs.
(2) Looking through the r~ght eyepiece, brlng the speclmcn lnto focus by
turning the focus~ngknobs.
131 Minimize the magnification power by turning the zoom control knobs
(4) If the specimen goes out of focus, readjust the focus by turning the right
diopter adjustment rlng only. (Fig.
4)
(5) Maxim~zethe magnificat~onpower again bv turning the zoom control
knobs. If the specimen
goes out of focus, repeat steps (2) through 14)
above. Th~sallows more precise diopter adlustment.
(61 M~nlmizethe rnagn~f~cat~onpower by turning the zoom control knobs and,
looking through the left eyepiece, bring the specimen lnto
focus by
turnlng the left diopter adjustment rang only. (Fig. 41

Use of Eyepiece Shields
For those who do not wear eyeglasses
Hold the d~opteradjustment rlngs so that they can not rotate, and al~gn

Use of Optional Conversion Lens
11 1 Screw the conversion lens Into the mountlng lkread at the bottom of the
rnlcroscope body
