Frequently Asked Questions - SBS-MK-7 STEINBERG

How to focus the microscope?

Use the coarse focus knob (macro) to bring the objective close to the slide, then the fine focus knob (micro) to sharpen the image. Always start with the lowest magnification.

What to do if the image is blurry?

Check that the slide is properly centered, focus is adjusted, and lenses are clean. Clean eyepieces and objectives with a soft cloth.

How to clean the microscope lenses?

Use a microfiber cloth or optical paper moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Gently wipe in a circular motion. Never use harsh solvents.

What type of lighting to use?

The microscope is equipped with an integrated LED light. Adjust the intensity using the dimmer. For transparent samples, use transmitted light. For opaque samples, use incident light if available.

How to replace the LED bulb?

Turn off the microscope and unplug it. Remove the light cover, unscrew the defective bulb and replace it with an identical LED bulb. Refer to the manual for references.

The microscope does not turn on, what to do?

Check that the mains adapter is properly connected or that the batteries are inserted correctly and are not discharged. Try another power outlet.

How to use the oil immersion objective?

The oil immersion objective (100x) requires a drop of immersion oil between the slide and the objective. Focus with the 40x objective, then turn the nosepiece to the 100x objective and add oil. Clean after use.

Can we observe living cells?

Yes, if you have specific slides with cover slips and a suitable culture medium. Use low magnification to avoid crushing the cells.

How to maintain the microscope in the long term?

Store it in a dry, dust-free place. Cover it with a dust cover. Clean the lenses regularly. Have the mechanisms checked every 2 years.

Where to find spare parts?

Contact Steinberg customer service or an authorized dealer. Eyepieces, objectives and bulbs are available on order. Check the official website for references.

Purpose

The product is used to magnify small objects or details that are too small to be seen clearly with the naked eye. By enlarging these objects, the product allows users to observe fine structures and details, making it an essential tool in scientific research, biology, medicine, material science, and various other fields.

Product overview

Assembly

1. Remove the product from the carton and place the foam container on its side.
2. Carefully remove the tape around the perimeter of the foam container and lift the top half.
3. Open the container carefully to prevent the optical items (objectives and eyepieces) from falling and getting damaged.
4. Using both hands (one hand around the arm and the other supporting the base), lift the product out of the container and place it on a stable desk.
5. Take the objectives out of their individual protective vials and install them into the product's nosepiece in order of increasing magnification, turning clockwise from the rear.
6. Insert the eyepiece into the eye tube. The eyepiece is included with the product.

Usage

1. Adjusting the Observation Head:

The observation head rotates 360°, allowing easy adjustment to a comfortable viewing position.

1. Placing the Specimen:

Place the specimen on a glass slide and secure it with the clips or slide-holders of the movable specimen-holder. Ensure the specimen is centered over the stage opening.

1. Illuminating the Specimen:
2. For products with a mirror, adjust the mirror to light the entire field of view.
3. For products with a built-in electrical illuminator, plug the power cable into the socket and turn on the power switch to illuminate the specimen.

NOTE

Changing the Lamp: Before replacing the lamp, unplug the product and wait for it to cool down to avoid burns. Unscrew the lamp holder, then replace the lamp housing on the base. Mirrors can be changed in the same manner.

1. Interpupillary and Diopter Adjustment (for Binocular Microscopes):

Firmly hold each barrel of the binocular head and adjust the distance between them until you see one circle of light. After interpupillary adjustment, check the graduation value in the middle of the headcover. Rotate the diopter rings to align the same graduation value with the lines on the eye tubes.

1. Focusing the Specimen:
2. Rotate the nosepiece to position the lowest power objective over the specimen. A distinct "click" indicates proper alignment.
3. Start with the lowest power objective to observe general structural details with a large field of view, then increase magnification as needed for finer details. • To calculate magnification, multiply the eyepiece power by the objective power.
4. Use the coarse focusing knob to move the stage up until the specimen is in focus, then lock the focus-stop screw.
5. Be careful to avoid contact between the objective and the slide to prevent damage.
6. Use the fine focusing knob to sharpen the image. Look through the eyepiece with either eye, keeping both eyes open. For binocular microscopes, adjust the diopter rings for a sharp, clear image in both eyes.

6. Adjusting the Diaphragm:

• For products with a disc diaphragm, rotate the diaphragm to select an appropriate aperture for suitable background brightness.
• For products with an iris diaphragm, adjust the aperture to control the background brightness.

Maintenance

Always:

- Maintain the product in an environment with the following conditions:

- Indoor temperature: 0°C to 40°C

○ Maximum relative humidity: 85%

• Keep the product free from dust and shocks during use. • Turn off the light immediately after use.
• Clean the optics with a soft lens tissue.
• Use a gentle cleaning solution to clean other parts of the product. • After use, cover the product with the provided dust cover and store it in a dry, clean place.

Never:

• Wipe the surface of any optics with your fingers. • Disassemble the objectives or eyepieces for cleaning.
• Mishandle or apply unnecessary force to the product.
• Clean the product with volatile solvents or abrasive cleaners.
• Attempt to service or repair the product yourself.
