packages.
Please do not discard any of the packing materials. They should
be used for safely storing and transporting the instrument
should the need arise.
3.0 Preparation for Use
3.1 Viewing Body
Attach the viewing body to the stand by backing off the set screw on
top of the stand with the tool provided. Then insert the dovetail of the
viewing body into the stand support and tighten the set screw firmly
without forcing it. This precisely locates the body on the optical axis
of the microscope, regardless of the selected orientation. After the
body is attached, insert the eyepieces into the eyetubes. Attach the
power cord and turn on the CM E using the swich on the back of the
instrument. The knurled dial on the lower left side will control the
illumination intensity.
