Configuración
- Desembalaxe: Retire con coidado todos os compoñentes da embalaxe. Garde a embalaxe para o seu almacenamento ou transporte futuros.
- Colocación: Place the microscope on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, dust, and vibrations.
- Conexión de alimentación:
- Potencia CA: Connect the AC power adapter to the microscope's power input jack and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
- Potencia da batería: Open the battery compartment (usually located at the base) and insert 3 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. This allows for portable use.
- Instalación do ocular: Insert the desired eyepiece (e.g., 10X or 25X) into the top of the monocular head.
- Funda antipolvo: When not in use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover to protect it from dust and debris.
Instrucións de funcionamento
- Encendido: Flip the power switch (usually located at the base) to turn on the illumination.
- Selección de iluminación:
- Luz inferior: Use for transparent specimens (e.g., prepared slides). Adjust the intensity using the dimmer control.
- Luz superior: Use for opaque specimens (e.g., leaves, insects). Adjust the intensity using the dimmer control.
- Placing a Specimen: Place a prepared slide or your own specimen on the stage. Secure it with the stage clips.
- Selección de ampliación: Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select the lowest power objective lens (e.g., 4X). This provides the widest field of view and makes initial focusing easier.
- Focalización:
- Mira polo ocular.
- Usa o coarse focus knob (larger knob) to bring the specimen into approximate focus. Turn it slowly to raise or lower the stage.
- Unha vez enfocado aproximadamente, usa o fine focus knob (smaller knob) for precise, sharp focusing.
- Adjusting Diaphragm: The single lens condenser with a 6-hole disc diaphragm controls the amount of light passing through the specimen. Rotate the disc to adjust the aperture size, optimizing contrast and resolution for your specimen.
- Increasing Magnification: Once focused at low power, rotate the revolving nosepiece to a higher power objective lens (e.g., 10X, 40X). Re-adjust focus using only the fine focus knob. For 1000X magnification, use the 100X objective with the 10X eyepiece, or 40X objective with 25X eyepiece.
