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.

Using the microscope
7.1
Place the specimen on the stage
Place the specimen on the microscope stage
and lock the specimen using the slide-clamp
if it is necessary. Ensure that the specimen is
centred over the stage opening. (Fig.1)
7.2
Turning on the light
The microscope comes with an electrical
illuminator. Insert the plug of the cable into the
power socket (or the power supply jack in the
socket), turn on the switch on the main body
and select your light source. (Fig. 2A-2B))
For SFX models, repeatedly press the touch
button in order to change the light intensity.
Depending on the model, the light intensity can
be adjusted with a knob on the right side of the
stand. (Fig. 3-4)
7.3
Adjust interpupillary distance
Hold the right and left parts of the observation
head by both hands and adjust the interpupillary
distance by turning the two parts until one
circle of light can be seen. If two circles appear,
the interpupillary distance is too big, and if two
overlapped circles appear, the interpupillary
distance is too small. (Fig. 5)
