NOTICE Use the product within the correct ambient conditions to avoid mildewing and damage.

• Keep the work area clean, clear, and away from any food storage. Prepare the slides in a well-lit area and close to a water supply. Use a
  solid table with a heat-resistant top.

• Do not allow dyes to come into contact with any part of the body particularly the mouth and eyes.

• Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.

•  Clean all the accessories and the work area after each use.
  Wash hands thoroughly after handling and carrying out experiments.

• Fasten the top part using the screw on the arm (M).

Operation

Switching on/off

•  Connect the adapter (AB) to a power outlet and the other end to the power socket (S). The LED lights up.

NOTICE To prevent the bulb in the transmitted light lamp (H) from burning, turn the brightness adjustment wheel (U) setting to the lowest before turning on or off.

•  Flip the power switch (T) to “I” to turn on the transmitted light lamp (H).
•  Flip the power switch (T) to “ O ” to turn off.
  Calculating magnification power
  Total magnification power is calculated by multiplying the magnification
  power of the eyepiece and the objective lens.

Eyepiece

magnification power

| Objective lens

magnification power

| Total magnification

power

---|---|---
10x (Y)| 4x (C)| 40x
10x (B)| 100x
40x (D)| 400x
100x (E)| 1000x
25x (X)| 4x (C)| 100x
10x (B)| 250x
40x (D)| 1000x
100x (E)| 2500x

Observing through the microscope

• Remove the eyepiece covers (J) from the adjustable eyepiece housing (L).
•  Place eyepieces (X/Y) into the adjustable eyepiece housing (L).
• Turn the coarse focus knob (P) to adjust the height of the stage (F) to the lowest position.
•  Look into the eyepiece (I), adjust the brightness of the illuminator (H) using the brightness adjustment wheel (U).
• Rotate the nose piece (A) to the lowest magnification power setting.

NOTICE Start with the lowest magnification power every time a new slide is placed on stage (F). Most observations are made at low magnification power.

•  Loosen the stage locking screws (AA) to insert the slide (not included) onto the stage clip (N).
•  Tighten the screws (AA) of the stage clip (N) to secure the slide on the stage (F).
• Without looking into the eyepiece (X/Y), turn the coarse focus knob (P) until the objective lens is close to the slide. The objective lens should not touch the slide.
•  Adjust the position of the slide using the X and Y translation controls (O, R).
•  Look into the left eyepiece (X/Y), rotate the fine focus knob (Q) slowly until the image is clear. Adjust the position of the slide if needed.

CAUTION Risk of electric damage! Never force the adjustment knobs (P), (Q) and, (V) to turn further once the knob is already restrained from turning. It may cause friction and scratch the lenses.

• The condenser (G) is adjusted to focus the light on the specimen. Tinker around with the condenser (G)’s a vertical knob (V), diaphragm (W), and adjustment screws (Z) to achieve the sharpest image.
  NOTICE The condenser diaphragm (W) gathers the available light and concentrates it to illuminate over the specimen with uniform intensity.

•  Look into the right eyepiece (X/Y), rotate the diopter adjustment (K) until the image is clear.
•  Look into both eyepieces (X/Y), adjust the distance between the adjustable eyepiece housing (L) until the two images merge into one.
•  Rotate the nose piece (A) to the next objective lens, increasing in magnification power. Re-adjust the focus using the fine focus knob (Q) if needed.
•  After using the microscope, remove the slide from the stage (F), take off the eyepieces (X/Y), and place the eyepiece covers (J) on.
•  Turn to a minimum the adjustment wheel (U).
•  Switch off (T) and disconnect the adapter (AB) from the power outlet.
• Clean the work area and dispose of the used specimens.

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING Risk of damage! During cleaning do not immerse the product in water or other liquids. Never hold the product under running water.

Cleaning

•  To clean the lenses (B, C, D, E, X, Y), only use lens cleaning tissues. Do not use cloth, paper or hands. Rotate the objective lenses (B, C, D, E) counter-clockwise to remove them from the nose piece (A).
• To clean the product, wipe with a soft, slightly moist cloth.
• Never use corrosive detergents, wire brushes, abrasive scourers, metal or sharp utensils to clean the product.

Maintenance

•  After each use, place the dust cover (AC) on the microscope. Place the accessories back into their respective plastic bags to prevent dust from collecting.
•  Slight greasing or putting oil may be needed for the mechanical moving parts. Apply the appropriate oil discreetly.
