Introduction; Unpacking And Assembly - Optika B-600 MET Manual De Instrucciones

2.0 INTRODUCTION

This microscope is a scientific precision instrument designed to last for many years with a mini-
mum of maintenance. It is built to high optical and mechanical standards and to withstand daily
classroom and laboratory use.
Optika reminds you that this manual contains important information on safety and maintenance,
and that it must therefore be made accessible to the instrument users.
Optika declines any responsibility deriving from instrument uses that do not comply with this ma-
nual.

3.0 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

3.1 The microscope is housed in a moulded Styrofoam container. Remove the tape from the
edge of the container and lift the top half of the container. Take some care to avoid that the
optical items (objectives and eyepieces) fall out and get damaged. Using both hands (one
around the arm and one around the base), lift the microscope from the container and put it
on a stable desk.
3.2 The objectives are located in individual protective vials. Remove the objectives from the
vials and insert them into the microscope nosepiece in the order from the lowest magnifica-
tion to the highest, in a clockwise direction from the rear.
3.3 In a separate box you find the metallographic attachment. Take it out and place it onto the
top of the microscope's stand. Then lock it in position by turning the screw with the provided
allen wrench:
