FR- 10 - 1.฀General/Location Before฀starting฀to฀set฀up฀your฀microscope,฀select฀a฀suitable฀location฀for฀it.฀First฀make฀sure฀that฀ your฀microscope฀is฀put฀up฀on฀a฀stable,฀vibration-free฀basis.฀In฀order฀to฀observe฀using฀the฀electrical฀ illumination,฀a฀mains฀socket฀(230฀V,฀50฀Hz฀AC)฀is฀needed. 2.฀Illumination For฀the฀start-up,฀connect฀the฀power฀cord฀(13)฀with฀the฀mains฀socket.฀Turn฀on฀the฀illumination฀with฀ the฀power฀switch฀(9)฀at฀the฀top฀of฀the฀microscope. 3.฀Observation Place฀the฀object฀to฀be฀viewed฀in฀the฀centre฀of฀the฀microscope฀stage฀(10).฀If฀it฀is฀possible,฀clamp฀it฀ on฀the฀edges฀with฀the฀object฀clips฀(11).฀ Now,฀look฀through฀the฀eyepieces฀of฀the฀binocular฀viewing฀(3)฀and฀change฀the฀spacing฀between฀the฀ eyepieces฀(1)฀so฀that฀you฀get฀a฀round,฀clear฀field฀of฀view.฀The฀definition฀is฀adjusted฀by฀slowly฀turning฀ the฀focussing฀wheel฀(6).฀ If฀you฀have฀to฀observe฀a฀very฀large฀or฀very฀small฀object,฀you฀can฀adjust฀the฀microscope.฀Loosen฀the฀ holding฀screw฀on฀the฀back฀and฀move฀appropriately฀the฀microscope฀head฀on฀its฀guidance฀(8).฀If฀you฀ have฀found฀the฀correct฀position,฀tighten฀the฀holding฀screw฀again. 4.฀Diopter฀adjustment Turn฀the฀diopter฀adjustment฀ring฀(2)฀of฀the฀right฀eyepiece฀to฀the฀middle฀position฀(silver฀marking฀ring).฀ Shut฀your฀right฀eye฀and฀look฀with฀the฀left฀eye฀through฀the฀left฀eyepiece.฀With฀the฀focussing฀wheel฀ (6),฀focus฀correctly฀for฀your฀left฀eye.฀Now,฀look฀with฀your฀right฀eye฀through฀the฀right฀eyepiece.฀If฀the฀ image฀isn’t฀sharp,฀adjust฀the฀focus฀for฀your฀right฀eye฀by฀turning฀the฀diopter฀adjustment฀ring฀(2).฀Now,฀ the฀microscope฀is฀correctly฀adjusted.

5.฀Exchange฀of฀the฀lamp Make฀sure฀that฀the฀microscope฀is฀separated฀from฀the฀mains.฀Let฀the฀lamp฀cool฀down,฀if฀necessary,฀ since฀lamps฀can฀become฀very฀hot฀in฀operation. Loosen฀the฀screw฀(14)฀and฀drag฀the฀guard฀cover฀(15)฀out.฀Now,฀you฀can฀easily฀remove฀the฀lamp.฀ Insert฀a฀new฀lamp฀(12฀V,฀10฀W)฀in฀the฀lamp฀holder.฀Grasp฀the฀new฀lamp฀not฀with฀your฀fingers,฀do฀ this฀best฀with฀a฀cloth.฀Now,฀you฀can฀back฀up฀the฀guard฀cover฀(15)฀and฀tighten฀the฀screw฀(14)฀again.฀ Tighten฀the฀screw฀only฀in฀a฀hand-screwed฀way. 6.฀Exchange฀of฀the฀fuse The฀microscope฀is฀equipped฀with฀two฀fuses฀(12).฀First฀make฀sure฀that฀the฀microscope฀is฀separated฀ from฀the฀mains.฀To฀replace฀a฀fuse฀turn฀out฀the฀fuse฀holder฀using฀a฀small฀screwdriver.฀Remove฀the฀ defective฀fuse฀and฀insert฀a฀new฀one฀(0.5฀A,฀250฀V).฀Screw฀the฀fuse฀holder฀back฀into฀the฀device. 7.฀Care฀and฀maintenance Cleaning฀the฀lenses:฀Sweep฀the฀lens฀with฀a฀lens฀tissue฀or฀soft฀fabric฀immersed฀with฀a฀small฀amount฀ of฀alcohol฀(e.g.฀isopropanol). Cleaning฀the฀painted฀parts:฀The฀dust฀on฀the฀painted฀parts฀can฀be฀removed฀by฀gauze.฀For฀the฀ grease฀spots,฀the฀gauze฀immersed฀slightly฀with฀aviation฀gasoline฀is฀recommended.฀Do฀not฀use฀- 11 - organic฀solvents฀such฀as฀alcohol,฀ether฀ot฀other฀thinner฀etc.฀for฀cleaning฀the฀painted฀parts฀or฀plastic฀ components. ฀Avoid฀disassembling฀the฀microscope.฀ Improper฀disassembling฀affects฀the฀high฀utility฀of฀the฀microscope.฀Moreover,฀the฀warranty฀expires. ฀and฀place฀it฀there,฀where฀it฀is฀dry฀and฀ dust-free.฀We฀suggest฀the฀storage฀of฀all฀objectives฀and฀eyepieces฀in฀a฀closed฀container฀with฀drying฀ agent.

To฀change฀the฀objectives,฀loosen฀the฀objective฀clamping฀screw฀(5).฀Now,฀you฀can฀sideways฀pull฀ out฀the฀objective.฀Then฀insert฀another฀objective.฀Mount฀the฀objective฀clamping฀screw฀(5)฀again฀and฀ tighten฀it฀in฀a฀hand-screwed฀way,฀so฀slipping฀out฀of฀the฀objective฀is฀excluded.
