Choosing a place for the microscope
Before starting, choose a sufficient location for microscoping. Please take care that your microscope stands on an even and solid ground. A power supply socket is required to charge the batteries.
Position your device so that it can be disconnected from the power supply at any time. The wall socket should always be located near the device and be easily accessible, since the plug on the power cord serves as a disconnecting device for the power supply.

Illumination
With the Researcher ICD, you have three illumination options: incident light, transmission light and both. First, connect the power supply to a power supply socket and then into the power supply connection of the microscope (10). Now, engage the main switch (11). With the source switch (14), you can adjust the illumination type: Pos. I for incident light, pos. II for transmission light, pos. III for both. At position 0, both lamps are off. With the dimmer (12), one can adjust the brightness.

Observation
First, remove the dust protective cover (6) from the objective holder (5). Place the desired object in the middle of the stage (8) and secure it with the clamps (9) if necessary. The objective’s magnification (2x or 4x) can be adjusted by turning the objective holder (5). It is recommended to start observations always with the lowest magnification. Now look through the eyepieces (1) at the binocular head (3). Adjust the sharpness with the focuser (4).

Focusing and dioptre compensation
Set the dioptre scale (2) to „0“ and observe an object. Now close your left eye and adjust the focus with the focuser (4) for your right eye. Then, close your right eye and adjust the focus for your left eye with the dioptre scale (2). Now, the microscope is adjusted for your eyes. Note the setting of the dioptre scale you need to use in future.

Eye distance
The Researcher ICD is equipped with an adjustable binocular head. To set your eye distance, move the eyepieces against each other until you found the ideal position.

Replacing the Eyepieces
To replace the eyepieces you need to loosen the clamp screw on the underside of the eyepiece holder (17). You can then easily remove and replace the eyepieces.
The clamp screws serve only as protection so that the eyepieces will not fall out.

Note: The LED illumination has a life span of approx. 20,000 hours. In the case of a technical error please contact the service center.

Adjusting the friction of the focusing drive
It can happen that the Microscope head is no longer held by the focusing drive and shuts down because of his net weight.
With the BRESSER Researcher ICD you can adjust the friction with the enclosed wrench (19). The wrench is simply hooked into two holes of the wider shaft (18). By rotating you can adjust the friction strongly or lightly.

Replacing the rechargeable batteries
In the case the batteries become defective, they can be replaced by new ones. Open the Battery section at the underside of the microscope and put three new rechargeable batteries (16) (Type NiMH AA 1.2V, ca. 1200 mAh) in place (4). Please take care of the correct position!

CAUTION: DO NOT use non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause fire and/or explosion!

Cleaning and maintenance

Your microscope is a high-quality optical instrument. Please take care that neither dust nor fingerprints take place on the optical surfaces. If necessary, clean the microscope body with a slightly moistened soft cloth. Use a separate clean cloth with some drops of alcohol to clean the optical surfaces. After using, the microscope should be protected with its dust cover.

Note: Please consider that a sufficient treated microscope keeps its value and optical quality for many years.
