5. Mode d'emploi

5.1. Powering On and Illumination Adjustment

  1. Turn on the LED fiber-optic illuminator using its power switch.
  2. Adjust the intensity of the light using the dimmer control on the illuminator.
  3. Position the fiber-optic cable to provide optimal illumination for your specimen, minimizing shadows and glare.

5.2. Placing the Specimen

Place your specimen directly under the objective lens of the microscope head.

5.3. Réglage du grossissement

The microscope offers a 7X-45X continuous zoom magnification. Rotate the zoom knob located on the microscope head to change the magnification. Observe through the eyepieces as you adjust.

5.4. Mise au point

  1. While looking through the eyepieces, slowly rotate the coarse focus knob until the specimen comes into approximate focus.
  2. Use the fine focus knob for precise focusing to achieve a sharp, clear image.
  3. Adjust the interpupillary distance (distance between eyepieces) and diopter settings on the eyepieces for comfortable viewing and to compensate for differences in vision between your eyes.

5.5. Utilizing the Dual-Arm Boom Stand

The dual-arm boom stand allows for versatile positioning of the microscope head. You can move the head along three axes (X, Y, and Z) to view different areas of a large specimen or to position the microscope at various angles. Loosen the locking knobs on the stand, adjust the position, and then re-tighten them to secure the microscope.

5.6. Using the Trinocular Port (for Camera Integration)

The trinocular port allows for the attachment of a camera (sold separately) to capture images or video. To use this feature:

  1. Remove the dust cap from the trinocular port.
  2. Attach your compatible microscope camera to the port.
  3. Refer to your camera's instruction manual for software installation and operation.
  4. Adjust the light path selector (if present) to direct light to the trinocular port for imaging.
