1. Warning
This microscope is a scientic precision instrument designed to last for many years with a minimum of
maintenance. It is built to high optical and mechanical standards and to withstand daily use. We remind you
that this manual contains important information on safety and maintenance, and that it must therefore be made
accessible to the instrument users. We decline any responsibility deriving from incorrect instrument use uses
that does not comply with this manual.
2. Symbols and conventions
The following chart is an illustrated glossary of the symbols that are used in this manual.
CAUTION
This symbol indicates a potential risk and alerts you to proceed with caution.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
This symbol indicates a risk of electrical shock.
3. Safety Information
Avoiding Electrical Shock
Before plugging in the power supply, make sure that the supplying voltage of your region matches with the
operation voltage of the equipment and that the lamp switch is in o󰀨 position. Users should observe all safety
regulations of the region. The equipment has acquired the CE safety label. However, users have full responsibility
to use this equipment safely. Please follow the guidelines below, and read this manual in its entirety to ensure
safe operation of the unit.

6. Unpacking
The microscope is housed in a moulded Styrofoam container. Remove the tape from the edge of the container
and lift the top half of the container. Take some care to avoid that the optical items (objectives and eyepieces)
fall out and get damaged. Using both hands (one around the arm and one around the base), lift the microscope
from the container and put it on a stable desk.
Do not touch with bare hands optical surfaces such as lenses, lters or glasses. Traces of grease or other
residuals may deteriorate the nal image quality and corrode the optics surface in a short time.

7.3 Assembling the microscope
1. Remove the dust cap from the microscope frame
and from the bottom of the observation head.
2. Insert the optical head above the stand and
tighten the screw ①. (Fig. 1)
• Hold the head with one hand during the lo-
cking in order to avoid that the head falls.
3. Insert both eyepieces into the tubes of the optical
head. (Fig. 2)
• For model B-150D-MRPL: only one eyepiece
is used as this model is monocular.
4. Insert the power supply jack in the socket placed
at the rear side of the microscope. (Fig. 3)

7.4 Polarizing set (optional)
1. Place the polarizer on the light exit ①at the
base of the microscope. (Fig. 4)
2. Loosen the head xing knob ② and remove
the head from the microscope frame. (Fig.
5)
3. Insert the analyzer into the hole inside the
frame ③. (Fig. 6)
4. Put back the head into its original position
and lock the xing knob.

8. Use of the microscope
8.1 Light intensity adjustment
Operate on the light intensity adjustment dial to turn
ON / OFF the microscope and to increase / decrease
the illumination voltage ①. (Fig. 7)
8.2 Coarse focus tension adjustment
• Adjust the tension using the provided tool.
The coarse knob tension is pre-setted in the factory.
To modify the tension according to personal’s needs,
rotate the ring ② using the provided tool (Fig. 8).
Clockwise rotation increases the tension. If the ten-
sion is too loose, the stage could go lower by itself
or the focus easily lost after ne adjustment. In this
case, rotate the knob in order to increase the tension.
8.3 Stage
Stage accepts standard slides 26 x 76 mm, thickness
1,2 mm with coverslide 0,17mm. (Fig. 9)
1. Open the spring arm of the slide holder ③ and
place the slide from the front on the stage.
2. Gently release the spring arm of the slide holder.
• A sudden release of the spring arm could cau-
se the falling of the slide.
8.4 Adjust the interpupillary distance
Only B-150D-BRPL
Hold the right and left parts of the observation head
using both hands and adjust the interpupillary distan-
ce by turning the two parts until one circle of light can
be seen. (Fig. 10)
• The graduation on the interpupillary distance in-
dicator ④, pointed by the spot “.” on the eyepiece
holder, shows the distance between the opera-
tor’s eyes.
The range of the interpupillary distance is 48- 75 mm.
