6. Instrument’s Installation
6.1 Place the microscope on a flat and stable working table, while moving the
instrument, especially the optical parts, make sure to avoid to contact the
lenses surface with hand or artic with
grease.6.2 On the way to transport
carry the objective table, it's surface
will be covered with the protection film,
before use please tear up the prot-
ected film（Fig.2）。
6.3 Place gently the viewing head into the Installation hole. Then use one hand to
press the viewing head from above while other hand fastens the screw located
at the both sides of view head.(Fig.3)
Fig.2
PROTECTION FILM

6.4 Turn on the power: after all above procedures, please insert the Power plug on
the wall outlet, and turn on the Power switch , make sure you are using the right
voltage.
6.5 Insert the Eyepiece: slide the eyepiece into the Eyepiece tube. (Fig.4)
Fig.4

7. Operation Procedure
7.1 Turn on the power
8.1.1 Turn the power switch(turn switch to "-" ), make the bulb give out light。
8.1.2 Then revolve the handwheel of brightness regulates to regulate the
brightness of filed .
7.2 Restoration to adjust diopter of tube
To adjust diopter of tube on the R/L eyepiece tube, Make its bottom edge with
engrave the line to align, use the same method, adjust the left diopter .
7.3 Adjusting pupil distance
By adjusting pupil distance and Diopter ring on eyepiece, to eliminate the
Parallex, and to get the sharp and comfortable viewing. While using bino head,
And field of view is two intersectant circles, by rotating the eyepiece tube, the Eye
Relief has been changed, the field of view became a round view completely
coincided. (Fig.5)
Fig.5

7.4 Mounting on the specimen
7.4.1 Turn apart the Specimen
Clips, put into the Specimen,
and use slide clip to hold it.
Release the fingers；make sure
that the viewing area right in the
middle of stage.(Fig.6)
7.4.2 Adjust the stage hand wheel
make sure that viewed field locates
objec -tive under. (Fig.7)
7.5 Using 10X objective focusing
7.5.1 By rotating the Revolving
nosepiece，make sure that lower
magnification objectives(4X or 10X)
are in the optical center, and get a
wide field of view.(Fig.8).

7.5.2 Rotating Coarse Focusing wheel，
moving the stage to the tiptop (Fig.9)。
7.5.3 Adjust Coarse focusing knob to find
sharp image. Adjust the diopter ring on
the diopter eyepiece until the image is
clear.(Fig.10)
7.6 Adjust fine focusing knob to find clear image. (Fig.11)

7.7 Rotating the Condenser moving knob, make condenser move highest and a little
lower. If you obverse dispersion image in view field , please adjust
condenser(Fig.13).

7.8 Rotating Revolving nosepiece，choose magnification that you need.
7.9 Adjust the Viewing head setscrew, in order to objective easy. (Fig.14)
7.10 If objective selected is 100X oil (spring), use oil as observing medium.
By this the quality of image can be improved and the specimen is observed
clear. (Fig.15)
7.10.1 Then move the specimen into the view filed and rotate the nosepiece to
view field.
7.10.2 Extrude a little oil from oil bottle. Dip oil onto the pot to observe.
7.10.3 Then move the specimen into the view filed and rotate the nosepiece to
view field. The interspace between top objective and coverglass must be full of
oil. Only this can the observation be done.。

7.11 When the microscope is not needed, turn off the power switch.

8. Digital Part, Installation and Useage of Parts
8.1 Take out the digital observation, Place the pin at locating hole of the observation,
Load the observation lightly, Press the upper observation softly by one hand ,
Fixing the screw on both sides of the body. At the time of installation to ensuret
digital head tight.
8.2 Put the end of USB cable into USB port of the back of the computer, the other
end into USB port of the back of equipment, software installation see "PHMIAS
family of software instruction manual" (Fig 16).
8.3 The installation of an external CCD (for TV observation or trinocular head) firstly
adjusting microscope to clear field of view, Connecting CCD base with CCD
moving into TV tube, "TV / Video" ( TV / AV) is set to "AV", as video display,
rotating adjustment ring (Fig 17), the video will be clear.

9. Care and maintenance
9.1 The power switch at the back side of Base is main power control. If the
microscope is no longer in use, please switch off the power to avoid the
electronic elements in working status. If the microscope will not be used for a
long period , please unplug the power wire from socket. Also keep various
accessories in safe places.
9.2 Using leaning gauze (or Silk, absorbent cotton )soaked with some ethanol to clean
the microscope body. After cleaning, cover it with dust cover.
9.3 Cleaning the Lenses：Use blower or soft cloth to wipe the surface dust. The
contaminated dust, finger prints can be wipe off by lens paper or soft clothe
soaked with blending (20-30% alcohol –70-80% ether).
9.4 Cleaning the Microscope Surface：Clean with soft cloth, for severe stain, please
clean with neutral detergent.
9.5 Microscope Storage：If the microscope will not be used for quite a long period of
time, please turn off the power, cool down the light bulb, mask it with dust cover
and then put it back into packaging case. Store it in a cool, dry, clean place free
of Acid or Alkali steam. As this will cause mildew on the lenses.
9.6 Routine Inspection：In order to maintain the performance of
microscope, please conduct routine inspection and maintenance.

10. Replacing light bulb and fuse
10.1 Replacing light bulb
10.1.1 Turn off the microscope ,unplug the power cord from socket.
10.1.2 Waiting for 30min, until it cools down.
10.1.3 Screw off the light base, and pull out the light base board, and rotate at some
angel until the light base comes out. Take out the damaged bulb, and replace
with a new one. While inserting the new bulb, please make sure to get the
good contact and solid connection between light bulb and Base. While taking
bulb with hand, make sure to wear a glove to avoid the finger print being left
on the bulb. (Finger print will erode the bulb surface, lower the brightness,
shorten the bulb working life).(Fig.18)
10.2 Replace the fuse：Pull out the Fuse compartment cover, take out the damaged
fuse, and replace the new fuse and then build in on the Compartment cover.
