4 Configuration
a) Eyepiece, Objective and Nosepiece
The monocular microscope has wide field eyepiece 10X and achromatic objective
4X, 10X, 40X and 100X. The nosepiece is small structured, and located stably and
exactly. It has a large and sharp image, with 360º rotatable monocular or sliding
binocular head.
b) Bend arm and Coarse and fine focusing knob
The curved arm use C-shaped ,has sprightly lines.Also, with upper focus
stop.the coarse focusing adjustment adopts dovetail guide which make focusing
adjustment smooth and comfortable.
c) Base：
The base is designed to the instrument, which having a streamlined shaped
circular,and it harmonized the aim’s shape slinky，Electrical components and
lamp built inside it as the illuminator.
d) Stage：
Fixed stage or moveable stage
e) Illumination
The system consists of illuminator which contains collector / mirror, iris aperture
diaphragm and condenser.And the condenser can be lift up and down.

5 Assembly
a) Working environment requirement：
1) Room temperature: 0-40℃.
Maximum comparatively humidity: 85%.
2）High temperature will result in mildew, dew and even ruinous instrument.
3) Avoid from the dust room. When it is not in use, please cover the
microscope with dust cover.
4）Please place the microscope in a stable situation without any
surging.
b) Check the Input voltage: be sure the power supply voltage is accordant with the
nominal input voltage which is signed outside the microscope, or it will bring a serious
damage to the microscope.
c) Lamp
1. The lamp has been well adjusted and checked before the microscope
leaves factory.
2 .The lamp housing parts become extremely hot during operation. Take care
not to burn yourself.
3. Lamp replacement：The lamp has its standard service life. When it has
expired, a lamp replacement is necessary.set the main switch to off state,
disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, then allow the old bulb to
cool before replacing the bulb with a new of the designated type .Open the
lamp holder on the bottom of microscope to do the replacement, the surface
of the new lamp bulb should be clean and free of fingerprint or dirt, which will
decrease the brightness or even explode the bulb .
Note: Must not missing the grounded screw
Donot touch the lamp`s glass part with your hands,when sitting shoud
take gloves or cover the lamp with protector. Fingerprint or dirt on the
surface of the lamp should be cleaned with the clean cloth with dipping
alcohol,which will decrease the brightness or even explode the bulb.
d) Eyepiece：
Please insert the eyepieces into the eyepiece tubes.(There is small screw in
the eyepiece ,which can make the eyepiece can not be pull out arbitrarily
when be screwed down.
e) Objective：
Lower the stage to its lower limit, then screw down the objectives into the
nosepiece (from low to high).
f) Condenser：
he condenser has been adjusted well before delivery.
g) Collector：
The collector has been adjusted well before delivery. Frame of the
collector`s pedestal is screw thread can taken by contrarotate
Note：It cannot be taken down when the outfit is LED.

h) Color filter：
Lay the filter into the iris diaphragm bracket under the condenser if
necessary.
6 Operation
1、Insert the eyepiece into the inclined eyepiece tube, then rotate the objectives
in sequence, according to their magnifications, into the threaded holes of the
nosepiece. Place the specimen in the center of the field of view, first use low
power objective to find the specimen image and then observe it with high
power objective, at the same time, adjust fine focusing knob until the image is
clear. When using 100X oil-immersion objective, the space between the front
of objective and specimen surface should be full of cedar oil. Drops of cedar
oil must be strictly free from air bubble, and the objective should be cleaned
immediately after using, otherwise it may solidify and make cleaning
difficult.
2、In order to get a sharp and clear image, you must adjust the illumination
system. When using objectives of different magnification, please adjust the
iris diaphragm of the condenser to bring its numerical aperture and objective’s
numerical aperture into coincidence. Generally speaking, the rate of objective
increase，the location of the condenser need to move up. Aperture is design for
adjust NA and not for adjust brightness. Usually, aperture is open to 70~80% of
the objective’s exit pupil, until can see clearly image in the view.
3、When to watch the same type of specimens, can adjust limit screw to proper
position and lock it up with nut. Then directly make coarse focusing knob up to the
position where the first speciment can focusing clearly. That can simplify the
operation and reduce the working intensity.
Note: The same type of specimen refer to the thickness of the slice 、the coverslip
and the carry slip are uniform.
7 Maintence and storage
1、When you open the carton, please be careful not to make the lens dropping
2、All the lens has been adjusted by manufacturer already, please do not
disassemble by yourself.
3、Nosepiece, coarse and fine focus is installed precisely, please do not
disassemble by yourself.
4、You should make the instrument clean, and often wipe the dusts.
5、Place the instrument in a shady, cool and dry place, when finishing the
operation, always use the dust cover for protection.
8 Troubleshooting Guide
If problems occur during use, please review the following list and take remedial

9
action as needed. If you cannot solve the problem after checking the entire list,
please contact the service department for assistance.
1、Optical Part
Problem Cause Solution
the edge of the field of
view has shadow or the
brightnessis uneven
The nosepiece is not in he located
position(objective is
not in the center of
the optical path)
Turn to the right
position(Turn objective
to the optical light
center)）
The image of the filament is not
in the center Center it
The surface of the lens is moldy
or has contaminant (
including condenser,
objective, eyepiece and
collector)
Clean it up
Find dust and stain in
the field of view
There are stains on the lens
(include
condenser,objective, eyepiece and
collector)
Clean it up
There are stains on the specimen Clean it up
The position of the condenser is too
low Loosen the condenser’s locking bolt
adjust the
condenser to the
right position, then
screw down.
the image is
defocus(low
resolution/contrast)
There is no coverslip on the
specimen add coverslip
The coverslip is too thick or too thin Use the standard
coverslip
The specimen is placed inversely Reverse it back
There was oil on the dry
objective(easily happened in 40X
objective)
Clean it up
There are stains on the lens
（including condenser, objective,
eyepiece and collector）
Clean it up
The oil objective didn’t immerse
oil Use immerse oil
