do not fall out and get damaged. Using both hands (one around the neck and one around the base), lift the
microscope from the container and put it on a stable desk.
Place the observation head onto the top of the neck and tighten the lock-screw. Insert the eyepieces into the
eye tubes.
Connect the provided power supply to the power supply input jack on the rear of the microscope.

Automatic Light Control (BL384 P, BL384 PI and BL384 PH models)
BL384 P and BL384 PI models have a special function called “Automatic Light Control”.
The level of light is adjusted by the microscope in order to maintain the same level as the one the user has
chosen, no matter if the aperture of the diaphragm changes, another objective is inserted, opacity of the
sample changes, etc.
1) Set the focus on the sample as described in the previous chapters, using the objective of your choice.
2) Rotate the brightness adjustment knob in order to get a comfortable level of illumination.
NOTE: ALC system works properly with medium-to-high light intensity, do not set the brightness to a
minimum level.
3) Press the ALC button on the side of the microscope.
Now the ALC system is working: if you open or close the aperture diaphragm or change objective, the system
will try to maintain the same level of illumination as the one you stored when you pressed the button.
4) Press the ALC button again to return to a manual control of illumination.
NOTE: ALC system is not suitable for use with phase contrast.

Operation
Observation head
Loosen the lock-screw, turn the observation head to a comfortable position for observation, and then lock the
lock-screw.
Place the specimen on the stage
Lock the specimen slide on the mechanical stage using the slide holder. Ensure that the specimen is centred
over the stage opening by adjusting the coaxial stage controls.
Illumination system settings
The microscope is tted with a white LED illuminator. Before turning on the illumination system, read the
section about electrical safety precautions. Insert the plug of the cable into the power socket and turn on the
switch on the back of the main body. Turn the brightness adjustment knob to a brightness suitable for obser-
vation.
Adjust interpupillary distance
Hold the right and left side of the observation head with both hands and adjust the interpupillary distance by
turning the two parts until one circle of light can be seen, when looking down the microscope with both eyes.
The white dot (°) placed on the right eyepiece shows the set interpupillary distance. Just remember this value
to help on later settings.
Focus tension adjustment
The tension of the coarse focusing knob is preset by factory. To change the tension according to your prefer-
ence, just rotate the knob clockwise in order to increase it.
Excessive tension could damage the mechanism of focus. A too loosed tension causes the descent of the
stage by gravity or a sudden loss of focus. In this case, rotate the knob to increase the tension.
Diopter adjustment
Turn the dioptric adjustment ring on the right eyepiece dioptric up to align the bottom with the graduated ring.
Turn the coarse focus knob in order to focus the slide with an objective with low magnication. Adjust the
ne focus knob until you obtain a clear and dened picture observing with the right eye, and then repeat the
operation with the left dioptric compensation ring and the left eye. When the image appears in focus, choose
the necessary objective with the revolving nosepiece.
Condenser
Raise or lower the condenser through the knob to obtain a clear and uniform illumination of the sample.
To center the condenser: completely close the iris diaphragm. Using the condenser centering screws, move
the diaphragm in the center of the eld of view. Then gradually expand the diaphragm until it is tangent to the
edges of the eld of view. If necessary, you can perform an additional adjustment.
The condenser is centered when the edges of iris diaphragm are tangent to the eld of view.
Numerical aperture setting
The value of the numerical aperture (N.A.) of the diaphragm is an indication of the contrast of the illumination
system. Matching the value of illumination system’s N.A. with that of the objective ensures the best results in
terms of contrast and image quality. To set the numerical aperture of the Illuminator, adjust the opening of the
iris diaphragm. In this way you control contrast and image resolution. For samples with low contrast set the
iris to about 75% of the value of the objective’s numerical aperture.

9
Phase rings centering (models -PH)
For models equipped with phase contrast set, you have to perform the centering of the phase rings.
Remove an eyepiece from the head and insert the centering telescope in the empty tube.
Insert the 10x objective rotating the nosepiece.
Rotate the turret of the condenser until you reach the inscription “10”.
Loosening the lock screw of the centering telescope, focus on the light ring that you observe.
Rotate the two centering screws in order to move the bright ring until it is perfectly aligned with the dark ring.
Repeat for the other objectives (only as a verication of the correct centering).
Phase rings will be centered when you see an image like this:

Repair and maintenance
Microscopy environment
This microscope is recommended for use in a clean, dry and shock free environment with a temperature of
0-40°C and a maximum relative humidity of 85 % (non condensing). Use a dehumidier if needed.
After using the microscope
The microscope should always be kept vertical when moving it so that no moving parts, such as the eye-
pieces, fall out.
Never mishandle or impose unnecessary force on the microscope. Never attempt to service the microscope
yourself. Turn down the illumination intensity control and turn the light off. Cover the microscope with the in-
cluded dust cover, and keep it in a dry and clean place.
Electrical safety precautions
Before plugging in the power supply, make sure that the supplying voltage of your region matches with the
operation voltage of the equipment and that the lamp switch is in off-position.
Users should observe all safety regulations of the region. The equipment has acquired the CE safety label.
However, users do have full responsibility to use this equipment safely.
Cleaning the optics
If the optical parts require cleaning rst use compressed air.
If that is not sufcient use a soft lint-free cloth with water and a mild detergent.
And as a nal option use the piece of cloth moistened with a 3:7 mixture of ethanol and ether.
Note: ethanol and ether are highly ammable liquids. Do not use them near a heat source, near sparks or
near electric equipment. Use these chemicals in a well ventilated room.
Remember to never wipe the surface of any optical items with your hands. Fingerprints can damage the op-
tics. Do not disassemble objectives or eyepieces in an attempt to clean them.
For the best results, use the VWR cleaning kit (see catalogue number below).
If you need to send the microscope to manufacturer for maintenance, please use the packaging if possible.
