• Eyepiece (Ocular): Hvor du ser hen view the specimen. The D120A-MS includes WF10x and WF16x eyepieces.
• Monokulær Viewing hode: The upper part of the microscope containing the eyepiece tube. This model features a dual-view head with a fixed 45-degree inclined tube and a vertical port.
• Roterende nesestykke: Holder objektivlinsene og gjør det enkelt å bytte mellom forstørrelser.
• Objektive linser: The primary magnification components (4x, 10x, 40xS, 100xS oil).
• Mekanisk Stage: A platform where the specimen slide is placed, with controls for precise X-Y movement.
• Stage klipp: Secure the specimen slide on the mechanical stage.
• Grovfokusknapp: Large knob for rapid focusing adjustments.
• Finfokusknapp: Small knob for precise focusing adjustments.
• Belysning (lyskilde): Located beneath the stage, provides light for viewing. This model uses variable-intensity tungsten illumination.
• Abbe kondensator: Located below the stage, focuses light onto the specimen. Features a 1.25 NA and an iris diaphragm.
• Irismembran: Controls the amount of light passing through the specimen.
• Base: The stable bottom support of the microscope.

5. Montering og oppsett

Follow these steps to set up your microscope for initial use:

1. Utpakking: Carefully remove the microscope and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the original packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Plassering: Place the microscope on a sturdy, level surface, away from vibrations and direct sunlight.
3. Eyepiece Installation: Insert the desired eyepiece (WF10x or WF16x) into the inclined eyepiece tube of the monocular head. Gently twist to secure it.
4. Objective Installation: The objective lenses are typically pre-installed. If not, carefully screw each objective into the revolving nosepiece in increasing order of magnification (4x, 10x, 40xS, 100xS). Ensure they are finger-tight.

5. Strømtilkobling: Connect the power cord to the microscope's power input and then to a standard 110V electrical outlet.
6. Støvdeksel: Når mikroskopet ikke er i bruk, dekk det til med det medfølgende støvdekselet for å beskytte det mot støv og rusk.

6. Grunnleggende betjening

This section outlines the fundamental steps for observing specimens with your microscope.

1. Strøm på: Flip the power switch located on the base of the microscope. The illuminator should light up.
2. Juster belysning: Use the variable intensity control knob to set the desired brightness. Adjust the iris diaphragm on the Abbe condenser to optimize contrast and resolution for your specimen.
3. Plasser prøven: Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select the lowest power objective (4x). Lower the mechanical stage using the coarse focus knob. Place a prepared specimen slide onto the mechanical stage og sikre den med stage klipp.
4. Position Specimen: Bruk XY-enetage control knobs to move the slide until the area of interest is centered under the objective lens.
5. Fokusering:
   • While looking through the eyepiece, slowly raise the stage bruker coarse focus knob until the specimen comes into rough focus.
   • Bruk fine focus knob to achieve a sharp, clear image.
6. Endre forstørrelse: Once focused at low power, rotate the revolving nosepiece to switch to a higher power objective (e.g., 10x, 40xS). Due to the parfocal design, only minor adjustments with the fine focus knob should be needed to bring the image back into sharp focus.
7. Using the 100xS Oil Immersion Objective:
   • After focusing with the 40xS objective, rotate the nosepiece halfway between the 40xS and 100xS objectives.
   • Place a small drop of immersion oil directly onto the center of the specimen slide where the light passes through.
   • Carefully rotate the 100xS objective into the oil drop until it clicks into place. The objective should be immersed in the oil.
   • Bruk bare fine focus knob to bring the image into sharp focus. Do not use the coarse focus knob with the 100xS objective.
   • After use, clean the 100xS objective and the slide immediately with lens paper moistened with lens cleaning solution to remove all immersion oil.
8. Dobbel-View Funksjonalitet: The vertical port on the monocular head can accept a second eyepiece for simultaneous viewing by another person or a camera mount for digital image capture (eyepiece and camera sold separately). Dioptric adjustment on the upright tube accommodates individual eye-strength differences.

7. Vedlikehold og stell

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your microscope.

• Rengjøring av linser: Use only specialized lens paper and lens cleaning solution for optical surfaces. Gently wipe in a circular motion. Never use abrasive cloths or harsh chemicals.
• Generell rengjøring: Tørk av mikroskophuset med en myk klutamp cloth. Avoid getting moisture into electrical components.
• Lagring: Always cover the microscope with the dust cover when not in use. Store it in a dry, dust-free environment.
• Bytte av pære: If the illuminator bulb burns out, unplug the microscope. Refer to the base of the microscope for access to the bulb compartment. Carefully replace the old bulb with the provided spare bulb, ensuring not to touch the glass part of the new bulb with bare hands.
• Mekaniske deler: Do not attempt to lubricate or disassemble any mechanical parts. If issues arise, contact customer support.
