The light source: super high pressure mercury lamp which provides strong enough exciting light
(shorter wavelength light) for excitation of fluorescent specimen.
Exciting filter: only pass the excitation light of corresponding specimen, the rest of light is cut
off.
Fluorescent specimen: the specimen dyed with the fluorescent pigment.
Cut filter: blocks the excitation lights through the specimen and make observation easier.

2. BEFORE USE THE EPI-FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPE
a) Place of installation
o Microscope must be placed on a firm and flat desktop or working table.
o Microscope must not be placed under direct sunlight and also keep it away from the
wall 20 cm.
o When connecting microscope with power supply, turn the main switch to "off"
position, make sure the inlet voltage must be in compliance with label marked on

good earth connection; otherwise, it would influence the electrical safety and
instrument performance.
o Please cover the microscope with dustcover when it is not in use
o Operating environment: the highest elevation is 2 meters. The ambient temperature
