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" acti-
vates only the direct light unit (fig. 2, 9). You can adjust this slightly
vertically to give you the best possible lighting.
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.
