Introduction
With your purchase of a EUROMEX EduBlue range stereo microscope you have chosen for a quality product. The
EUROMEX EduBlue range stereomicroscopes are developed for use at schools and laboratories.
The stereo microscope consists of two separate microscope tubes which are combined as a unit, in order to focus
them simultaneously on the object. Each tube has prisms, achromatic objectives and a pair of widefield eyepieces in
order to obtain a large, flat field of view. Both eyes are looking at the object under a different angle to reach a deep
stereoscopic image.
The maintenance requirement is limited when using the stereomicroscope in a decent manner.
This manual describes the construction of the stereomicroscope, how to use the stereomicroscope and maintenance
of the stereomicroscope.
