Configuración

1. Desembalaxe e colocación

1. Retire con coidado todos os compoñentes da embalaxe. Garde a embalaxe orixinal para futuros transportes ou almacenamentos.
2. Place the microscope on a stable, level surface, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, dust, and vibrations.
3. Ensure adequate space around the microscope for operation and ventilation.

2. Assembling the Microscope

1. Attach the Binocular Head: Loosen the head locking screw on the top of the microscope body. Gently insert the binocular head into the top port, aligning the keyway, and tighten the locking screw.
2. Insert Eyepieces: Remove the protective caps from the eyepiece tubes and insert the WF10x eyepieces. If using the WF25x eyepieces, insert those instead.
3. Install Objective Lenses: Rotate the revolving nosepiece until the lowest power objective (4x) is positioned over the stage. Screw the objective lenses into the nosepiece in increasing order of magnification (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x).
4. Conectar enerxía: Plug the power cord into the microscope's power input and then into a suitable electrical outlet (110V AC).

Instrucións de funcionamento

1. Power On and Illumination

1. Turn on the main power switch located on the base of the microscope.
2. Adjust the illumination intensity using the dimmer control knob to achieve comfortable and clear viewing.

2. Preparing a Specimen

1. Place a prepared microscope slide onto the mechanical stage, asegurándoo co stage clips.
2. Usa o stage control knobs to center the specimen directly under the objective lens.

3. Focusing and Magnification

1. Start with the lowest power objective (4x) in position.
2. Look through the eyepieces and use the coarse focus knob to bring the specimen into approximate focus.
3. Use o botón de enfoque fino para un enfoque preciso.
4. Adjust the interpupillary distance (distance between eyepieces) and diopter setting on the left eyepiece for comfortable binocular viewing.
5. To increase magnification, rotate the revolving nosepiece to the next objective lens (e.g., 10x, 40x). Re-focus using only the fine focus knob.
6. For 100x objective, apply a small drop of immersion oil directly onto the slide over the area to be viewed. Lower the 100x objective into the oil until it makes contact. Focus carefully using the fine focus knob.

Figure 4: Microscope with 100x objective lens engaged. This image shows the 100x objective lens positioned over the stage, indicating readiness for oil immersion viewing.

4. Adjusting Illumination and Contrast

1. Diafragma de iris: Adjust the iris diaphragm lever on the Abbe condenser to control the amount of light reaching the specimen and improve contrast.
2. Condenser Height: Use the condenser adjustment knob to raise or lower the condenser for optimal illumination.
3. Color Filter: Insert a color filter into the filter holder below the condenser if desired for specific viewcondicións de ing.

5. Uso da cámara dixital

Once the camera is connected and software installed, you can:

• En directo View: Observe the magnified image directly on your computer screen.
• Capturar imaxes: Use the software's capture function to take still photographs of your observations.
• Gravar vídeos: Gravar vídeo footage of dynamic processes or observations.
• Medidas: Utilize the software's measurement tools for precise analysis of specimens.

Mantemento
