Omegon® Binofield Microscope
Thank you for choosing this high-quality microscope from ‘Omegon’. This microscope system is used to examine
thin wafers and fluid samples using the bright field contrast method. Thanks to the integrated incident light
function, it is also suitable for thin, non-translucent specimens, e.g. stamps.
1. Preparation.
Before using for the first time, read these operating instructions carefully so that you can make full use of all
the options this microscope has to offer. The safety-related instructions on how to handle this device are also
described here and must be followed.
1.1. Delivery scope.
Rechargeable AA batteries can be inserted under the base. This means that this microscope can also be
used outdoors without a
power connection, i.e. a
mains adapter.

surface.
1.3.2. Remove the plastic packaging material, the dust cover and the protective paper on the specimen stage.
1.3.3. Familiarise yourself with your new microscope. Move all mechanical parts, such as the focus, the
revolving nosepiece, the filter wheel, the
mechanical stage etc. carefully by hand and see
how they work and what effect they have.
1.3.4. Then connect the device to the power supply
correctly.

Caution:
Set the pupil distance so that the view through the eyepiece provides a round image.
2. Use.
2.1. Switch the device on and set the brightness on the dimming wheel to a pleasant level.
2.2. Carefully clamp the slide with a finished specimen that you want to examine onto the specimen stage
using the clamps of the mechanical stage.
2.3. Now adjust the specimen so that it is illuminated from below; first select the 4x lens and bring the image
into focus in the eyepiece using the focus setting knobs.
2.4. You can now examine the specimen step by step in the x and y-axes using the fine focus knobs and
magnify it with the 10x and the 40x lens to a magnification of up to 400x. It may be necessary to readjust the
image clarity.
2.5. The filter wheel mounted below the specimen stage serves to change and/or enhance the contrast. Simply
try out which filter shows more details.
2.6. If you want to change the magnification, turn the revolving nosepiece and thereby change the lenses 4x -
40x. Ensure that the lenses do not collide with the specimen during swivelling. It is advisable to move the
specimen stage down slightly to leave enough space between the lens and the specimen. Then re-focus. The
correct lens change is accompanied by a clear clicking sound.
2.7. Now change the general setting slowly until you can see an almost sharp image, and then use the fine
setting of the focus to achieve perfect image
clarity. If you now select a higher magnification,
i.e. a different lens, you only need to turn the
fine setting to reach image clarity again.
Tip:
For more details and a better contrast, turn the matching colour screen on the filter wheel between the specimen
stage and transmitted light.
