1. General/Location
First you must make sure that your microscope
is on a stable and solid surface.
An electricity supply is required for observation
with the electric illuminator.
2. Electric LED lighting with dimmer
Check before use whether the light switch
(Fig. 1,21) is set to "off".
The microscope has two lighting units. Lighting
can be of three types. Set the switch (Fig 1, 21)
to „II" to light the specimen from above (reflected
light) or „I" to light it from below (direct light). Use
setting „III" to have the specimen simultaneously
subjected to direct and transmitted light. The
transmitted light unit (Fig 1, 10) is used for
transparent specimens (those on glass slides).
To view solid non-transparent specimens use
the direct light unit (Fig 1, 20). Use of both forms
of lighting simultaneously is only recommended
for semi-transparent specimens. This operating
mode is not recommended for direct light
specimens on slides as it may cause reflection
on the slide.
To operate the mains power pack supplied
(Fig. 1, 14) is first connected to the
microscope and a mains power socket (220-
230V). Use the switch (Fig 1, 21) to select the
desired lighting mode and set the dimmer to
the desired brightness (Fig. 1, 18).
As your device has continuously controllable
lighting (dimmer) optimal illumination of the
object to be viewed is guaranteed.
3. Colour filter disc
The colour filter under the microscope
table (Fig. 1, 19) aids in viewing very bright
and transparent objects. Just select the
right colour for the specimen in question.
The components of colourless/transparent
objects (e.g. starch particles, single-cell
-specimens) can thus be better recognised.
4. Interchangeable illumination lenses
The illumination of your microscope contains
two lenses (Fig. 2, 16+17). These are –
according to the object being viewed – to
be attached to the LED illumination for best
results. The ground glass lens Fig. 1, 16)
is already mounted on the lighting unit. To
change the lenses, simply screw them on
and off. Just turn the upper lighting unit (Fig.
1, 10).
