1.3. Operating the device
1.3.1. Before initial operation: Remove the microscope from the polystyrene packaging, place it on a stable
work surface and remove the plastic packaging materials and the dust caps from the binocular head and
tripod.
1.3.2. Function test and power connection: Familiarise yourself with your new microscope. Carefully move all
mechanical parts such as the focusing, condenser position, iris diaphragm, filter holder, etc. by hand and
observe how they work. Make sure that the current voltage corresponds to the indicated voltage. Plug the
power supply unit into the domestic power socket and then connect the microscope to the power source.
Caution:
The power supply unit and the power cables must not be damaged in any way to ensure safe use. In the
event of a defect, contact the support department at NIMAX GmbH.
2. Initial operation
2.1. Switch on the device and adjust the brightness on
the dimmer wheel (16) to a pleasant but required
luminous intensity.
2.2. Adjust the pinhole on the condenser to change
the light irradiation. Adjust the design-related
aperture (pinhole) of the lenses to achieve the best
possible resolution of the lenses. Please take out the
eyepiece to achieve the best possible resolution of the
lens. The size of the pinhole can now be seen in the
eyepiece tube. It is best if the pinhole is set a little
smaller than the lens aperture.
Caution:
The pinhole is not used to adjust the brightness. This is set with the corresponding dimmer wheel. Light
beam and brightness are not the same thing.
2.3. Carefully place a slide with a prepared specimen that you wish to view on the stage and fix it in place using
the spring-mounted clamp (8) of the holding device of the cross table.
2.4. Turn the filter holder (10) outwards. Insert a filter, if needed, and move the holder back to its original
position, i.e. between the light source and the condenser.

2.5. If you want to change the enlargement, turn the nosepiece
(6) to change the lenses 4x - 100x (7). Make sure that the lenses
do not collide with the specimen when swivelling. It is advisable
to first move the stage down slightly to create enough space
between the lens and the specimen and then re-focus. A clear
clicking sound confirms that the lens has been changed
correctly.
2.6. When adjusting the focus, always ensure that the lens does not touch
the specimen you are viewing. Therefore, move the coarse focus knob
(11.1) only until the lens is three millimetres away from the coverslip of the
specimen. Now slowly change the coarse adjustment until you can see a
roughly sharp image and then use the fine adjustment (11.2) of the focusing
to finally achieve image sharpness. If you now choose a higher
enlargement, i.e. a different lens, you only have to turn the fine adjustment
to finally achieve image sharpness again.
2.7. By turning the coaxial stage mechanism (12), the specimen can be
manually moved precisely and carefully along the Y and Z axes through the
eyepiece field of view.
2.8. The lateral fine adjustment, which moves the condenser from below towards or away from the specimen,
can be used to control the degree of illumination and thus the contrast in the image.
3. Maintenance and care
3.1. Maintenance To change the LED lamp, loosen the large slotted screw on the underside of the microscope
and flip open the cover that is locked in place with it. You can now pull the defective LED lamp out of the
socket, which is located on the inside of the cover, and replace it with a new LED lamp. Do not touch the new
LED lamp with your hand. Fingerprints and dirt on the LED can affect its brightness. Clean the LED lamp with a
clean, soft cloth. Handle the LED only with clean gloves or a piece of gauze and insert the new LED into the
socket provided for the purpose. Close the cover again and re-tighten the previously mentioned slotted screw.
Caution:
The bright LED lamp is very hot during operation and shortly after use. Before replacing the LED lamp or the
fuse, be sure to disconnect the microscope from the power supply.

3.2. Cleaning If there is dust on the lens, remove it with rubber bellows and then clean the lens carefully with a
soft brush. Carefully remove oil or fingerprints from the lens with a cleaning cloth (not microfibre), absorbent
paper or a white cotton cloth moistened with a little isopropanol (alcohol - pharmacy). Please do not clean the
lens surface too often with isopropanol. Frequent use may cause scratches and damage to the coating,
resulting in poor light transmission and poor image quality.
3.3. Care The microscope should be stored in a shady, dry and clean place. It must not come into contact with
acids, bases or vapours. Do not expose the device to direct sunlight. The working environment should not
exceed a room temperature of +40°C or fall below 0°C. The relative humidity must not exceed 85%. For safety
reasons, the device must not be used above this limit. It must not be subject to hard blows, be knocked over or
fall down.
Note:
Always cover the device with the enclosed dust cover after use.
