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. Assembling
7.1 Assembling the microscope
• No installation procedure is requested for this mi-
croscope series.
• Place the microscope on a sturdy table and con-
nect the power supply.
7.1.1 Installing the batteries (M-100FLed)
1. Using a screwdriver remove the xing screw of
the battery compartment cover. (Fig. 1)
2. Remove the cover (Fig. 2) and insert the batteries
(provided), respecting the polarity. (Fig. 3)
3. Put back the battery compartment cover and
screw the xing screw again.

8.3 Placing the specimen
8.3.1 B-20R / M-100FX / M-100FLed
1. Place the specimen on the stage and secure it
using the stage clips ①. (Fig. 7).
8.3.2 B-20CR
Stage accepts standard slides 26 x 76 mm, thickness
1,2 mm with coverslide 0,17 mm. (Fig. 8)
1. Open the spring arm of the slide holder ②and
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 Use with batteries
8.4.1 M-100FLed
• The microscope is provided with an ON-OFF
switch ③ (Fig. 9) placed on the bottom side of the
microscope. The use of the switch is as follows:
1. Switch placed in “OFF” position: use of the
microscope is possible only with external power
supply. Battery use and recharge is disabled.
2. Switch placed in “ON” position: use of the mi-
croscope is possible either with external power
supply or with batteries. In this case the battery
recharge is enabled.
