HOW TO USE

1. First insert the power plug in a power socket
2. Then place a specimen you wish to examine on the microscope table and fix it in place with the clamps if necessary.
3. Press the On/Off switch (fig. 1, 5) on the back of the microscope base.
4. Turn the lighting setting knob to adjust the lighting as needed (fig. 1, 6). There are three specimen lighting options. Position „I“ activates only the direct light unit (fig. 2, 9). You can adjust this slightly vertically to give you the best possible lighting. Position „III“ activates only the transmitted light unit (fig. 2, 10). Position „II“ activates both lighting units. The OFF position switches all specimen lighting off. As your device has continuously controllable lighting (dimmer) (fig. 1, 18 optimal illumination of the object to be viewed is guaranteed.
5. You can then adjust the binocular sight to the gap between your eyes. Look through the binocular sight (fig. 1, 1) and adjust the space between the two eyepieces whilst doing so (fig. 1, 3) until you see only a single image.
6. The specimen will still not be wholly correctly focussed, though. Turn the focussing wheel (fig. 1, 7) until the image is really sharp.
7. Specimens of various sizes can be examined with the Advance ICD Microscope. Just change the lens unit height to adjust the micr oscope to the specific specimen. This is done by loosening the microscope arm clamp (fig. 2, 11) and adjusting the height to the specimen. When you‘re finished tighten the clamp again. To fix the lens unit in place undo the height limit clamp (fig. 2, 12) and push it until it is below the microscope arm. Then tighten the clamp again.
8. A s eyesight differs dioptre compensation is built into your microscope. Adjust the rotatable eyepieces to their centre setting (fig. 2.13). Now look through the binocular sight. Close your right eye and use only the left to look through the eyepiece. Adjust until the specimen image is sharp. Now close the left eye and look through the eyepiece with the right eye. If the image is unclear turn the dioptre compensation (fig. 2, 13) until the image is in focus. The instrument is now adjusted for both your eyes.
9. To change magnification turn the zoom adjustment (fig. 1.8). This continuously adjusts magnification between 1x and 4x. Actual magnification is calculated by multiplying the zoom by the eyepiece value (10x or 20x).
10. To replace the lenses (fig. 1, 3) undo their fastening screws using a small screwdriver. Do not unscrew them too far. After replacing the lenses the screws can be carefully retightened.
11. To increase microscope magnification use the Barlow lens supplied (fig. 5). Screw the Barlow lens carefully into the mounting provided for it (fig 1, 14).

Replacing the microscope table plate
In addition to the transparent plate a plate with a white and a black side is included. This plate is used to improve contrast.

Using the trinocular sight.
This is used for photography. If you use a Bresser MikrOkular it can easily be inserted in the trinocular extension. A mirror reflex camera can be added using the optional camera adapter and T2 ring. Before you can use the trinocular sight the lever (fig. 1, 15) must be pulled out.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Replacing the transmitted light unit bulb

1. Use the ON/OFF switch (fig. 1, 5) to turn the microscope off and then remove the power plug.
2. Undo the clamping screw to open the housing and then remove the glass plate and blue filter. The bulb (fig. 4) and its mounting are now visible.
3. Carefully remove the old bulb from its socket.
4. Insert the new one carefully. Make sure the bulb is correctly inserted.
5. Clean it with a little alcohol to remove any fingerprints.
6. Then close the housing. The microscope is then again ready for use.

Changing the bulb in the direct light unit

1. Use the ON/OFF switch (fig. 1, 5) to switch the microscope off and unplug it.
2. To make the job easier remove the entire lens unit. This is done by undoing the clamping screw (fig. 1, 17). Then put the entire unit carefully aside.
3. Then carefully unscrew the filter mounting with filter. Make sure the filter doesn‘t fall out (fig. 4).
4. Carefully remove the old bulb from its socket.
5. Insert the new one carefully. Make sure the bulb is correctly inserted.
6. Screw the filter back on and fasten the entire until back in place. The microscope is then again ready for use.

Changing the fuse
Two fuses are inbuilt to protect the microscope. Should one fail it can be changed as follows.

1. Turn the microscope off using the ON/OFF switch (fig. 1, 5) and then remove the plug.
2. Check which fuse needs replacing. To do so undo the fuse caps on the microscope back. This is best done using a coin.
3. Then check them both. The wire in either or both is often visibly broken. If so, then that fuse must be replaced. Alternatively, switch the fuses around to find out which is not functioning.
4. Your microscope is ready for use again once any defective fuse has been replaced.

Keeping the lens clean
Cover the microscope when not in use using the hood supplied to keep it clean.
Your microscope is a precision instrument so please do not remove any part/s of it. Doing so may prevent it working properly.
