1 Before use
1-1 NOTICE
1) Microscope ought to be placed in a dry and clean place. Do not expose the microscope
in the sun directly. Avoid high temperature and violent vibration.
2) As microscope is a precision instrument, handle with care, avoiding impact or abrupt
movement during transportation.
3) To keep the image clear, do not leave fingerprints or stains on the surfaces of the lens.
4) Never turn the left and right focusing knob in the adverse direction at the same time,
otherwise the microscope will be damaged.
5) Hold the camera with one hand for fearing of falling when you take the films out of
the big camera.
1-2 MAINTENANCE
1) All lenses must be kept clean. Fine dust on the surface of the lens should be blown off
with hand blower or wiped off gently with a soft lens tissue; Fingerprints or oil marked
on it should be wiped off with a tissue moistened with a small amount of xylene or a
3:7 mixture of alcohol and ether.
2) Never use the organic solution to clean the other surface (especially the plastic
surfaces). If necessary, please choose the neutral detergent.
3) Do not take the microscope apart for fearing that it is damaged.
4) After using, cover the microscope with the dust-cover provided and store it in a dry and
clean place free from moisture to prevent rust.
5) To keep the performance of the microscope, please check it periodically. The detail
can be gotten from the agent nearby.

4-2 Adjust the degree of tightness of the focusing arm.
1) If you want to adjust degree of tightness of the focusing arm,
you can hold one of the focusing knobs and turn another one
to attain a suitable position. The degree of tightness relies on
the direction to be turned. The clockwise direction is tight,
otherwise, is loose.
2) The suitable position of tightness can make the adjustment more
comfortable and prevent the focusing bracket from
slipping down by its weight during the observation.
(Fig.2)
4-3 Set the specimen slide
1) Set the specimen on the center of stage plate. If
necessary, clamp the slide with the clips.
2) Turn on the light.
4-4 Adjust the specimen slide
1) Turn the zoom control knob to the maximum
magnification.
2) Turn the diopter adjusting rings to the zero.
3) Observe the specimen through the right eyepiece
and make the
jkj image clear by turning the focusing knob.
Fig.3 4) Rotate the zoom control knob to the minimum magnification.
5) Observe the specimen through the right eyepiece and
make the image clear by turning the right diopter
adjusting ring②.(Fig.3)
6) Redo the step(1),(3),(4)and (5) till the right adjusting
ring is more precise.

cable.
4-15 Appear the image on the computer
1) Turn on the power supply and let the computer work.
2) Install the software and the driver of the A/D board.
(If they have been installed, this step can be omitted.
3) Double click the icon of the software, and then the
video window will appear. You can set the size of the
window according to your linking
4) Draw out the pole and adjust the focusing knob, and
then the image will appear on the computer screen
clearly.
5) If no image or the image without color, it may be
because the model of the input signal does not match
the output signal of CCD or the model of C-VIDEO/S-
VIDEO is not correct. The detail of operation refers
to《Software operation manual》.
4-16 Appear the image on the computer and the
Monitor synchronously
1) Do step 4-12 and step 4-14 to connect the
computer and the Monitor.
2) Operate step 4-13 and step 4-15, we can make
the image appear on the computer and Monitor at the
same time.
4-17 Adjust the image

Fig.12
the focusing knob to make the image of the object
clearly.
4) Move the digital head or the object gently to adjust
the image agreeing with observer.
4-18 Brief instruction for the software
1) The program design of the software is up to date,
and the Chinese/English interface can berth
powerful delineation bar which be used much
conveniently and rapidly. You can finish most of
analyze work only to click the mouse.
2) Can afford many powerful area choosing tools which
can analyse any area your linking at will, such as
adjusting hue and image, dealing with
mathematical morphology, image matching,
texture analyse, character identify and so on.

analyzing function such as slightness body, grain body,
line body and so on. The outcome can be kept in data and
can be made into chart and so forth.
4-19 Use the white balance
1) The CCD has auto white balance when the white
balance switch is on“ON”.
2) Please put the switch on “ON” in general. Let the
switch be “OFF” only in special, for example,
observing the red cell, otherwise the color of red cell
will be adjusted into white.
3) If you want to observe another single color, please
let the switch be“ON”again when you finish the
observation, and put the switch on “OFF” again
after auto balance, or the color of the image will be
distortion.(Fig.12)
