Description of components
1. Head (11). Monocular 360º rotating head, allows user to observe, without necessity of moving the
microscope.
2. Eyepiece (1). The lenses closest to the eye, they magnify the image formed by the objectives. The
eyepiece includes a pointer to signal out any particular element to another user.
3. Revolving nosepiece (3). The revolving action permits the user to change the degree of
magnification, the correct positioning of the objectives is marked by a "click" in the optical path.
4. Objectives (4). The group of lenses closest to the sample, or microscopic specimen forming the first
magnified image.
5. Stage (6). Platform of the microscope where the specimen is placed. The specimen slide is held in
place by specimen holder clips.
6. Condenser (7). Optimises illumination for enhanced resolution and image contrast.
7. Focusing Knobs (14-15). Situated on both sides of the arm of the microscope, the larger, or coarse
focusing knob initially brings the specimen into focus, and the smaller, fine focusing knob permits a
precise adjustment of the image.
8. Illumination (10-16). The SFC-100FL comes with a 220V/20W tungsten bulb, the SFC-100FL(H) with
a halogen 12V/10W bulb and the SFC-100FLED with a LED 3.5V/70mW.
Warning: Before connecting the microscope to an electrical source, always check that the voltage coincides
with that of the microscope.
Operation
A. Starting Up
1. Connect the microscope to a power source.
2. Press the ON switch (10).
Note: The LED illuminating microscope comes with 3 "AA" size 1.2V Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH) batteries. The batteries are not charged, but there may be enough power to turn the LED
light on. We recommend that you charge the batteries for 12 hours before you use this
microscope for the first time.
B. Focussing the microscope.
1. Turn the revolving nosepiece (3) and place the 4X objective (4) in the optical path, clicking
well into place.
2. Turn the coarse focus knob (14) until the stage (6) has been moved to its lowest position.
3. Place the microscopic specimen slide on the stage, making sure that the cover slip is raised.
Lift the specimen holder clips (5) pressing downwards on the lower part, and slide the
specimen slide under the clips. Release pressure so that the slide is firmly held in place.
4. Make sure that the specimen on the slide is in the optical path.
5. Looking through the eyepiece (1), turn the coarse focus knob until the sample appears in
focus.
6. Readjust the focus with the fine focus knob (15) until the image appears sharp.
