Using the microscope

Adjust the 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 clamp. Ensure that the specimen is centred
over the stage opening by adjusting the coaxial knobs of the stage
LED lamp settings – Transmitted illumination

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.
Focus and diopter adjustment
Turn the dioptric adjustment ring on the left eyepiece to the zero position. Turn the coarse focus knob in order
to focus the slide with an objective with low magnification. Adjust the fine focus knob until you obtain a clear
