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 opti-
cal 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.

7.4 Assembling the microscope
The microscope comes already assembled from the
factory. No assembling procedure is requested.
1. Open the battery compartment placed in the lo-
wer part of the frame. (Fig. 1)
2. Insert batteries, respecting polarity.
3. Close the battery compartment.
4. Plug the jack of the power supply into the socket
① in the back side of the microscope. (Fig. 2)
7.5 Polarizing set (optional)
1. Place the polarizer on the light exit lens ②at the
base of the microscope. (Fig. 3)
2. Using a at screwdriver (not provided) loosen the
xing screws on the two sides of the microscope
③ . (Fig. 4)

8. Use of the microscope
8.1 Switching the microscope
Operate on the light intensity adjustment dial ① to
turn ON / OFF the microscope. (Fig. 6)
8.2 Light intensity adjustment
Operate on the light intensity adjustment dial ①to
increase / decrease the illumination voltage. (Fig. 3)
8.3 Stage
B-61
1. Raise the xing clips and place the slide on the
stage.
2. Lower the clips to hold the slide and prevent
accidental falling. (Fig. 7)
B-62 / B-63 / B-65 / B-66 / B-67 / B-69
Stage accepts standard slides 26 x 76 mm,
thickness 1,2 mm with coverslide 0,17mm. (Fig. 8)
1. Open the spring arm of the slide holder ② 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
cause the falling of the slide.
8.4 Adjust the interpupillary distance
B-66 / B-67 / B-69
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. 9)
• The graduation on the interpupillary distance in-
dicator ③, pointed by the spot “.” on the eyepiece
holder, shows the distance between the opera-
tor’s eyes.
The range of the interpupillary distance is 55-75 mm.
