3. Guida all'installazione

Follow these steps to set up your AmScope B120C microscope:

1. Disimballaggio: Rimuovere con cautela tutti i componenti dall'imballaggio. Conservare l'imballaggio originale per un eventuale stoccaggio o trasporto futuro.
2. Posizionamento: Place the microscope on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or vibrations.
3. Installare gli oculari: Insert the desired pair of eyepieces (10x or 25x) into the ocular tubes of the Siedentopf head.
4. Connetti alimentazione: Plug the power cord into the microscope's power input and then into a standard electrical outlet (100 to 240VAC 50/60Hz).
5. Copertura antipolvere: Keep the dust cover on the microscope when not in use to protect it from dust and debris.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1. Regolazione dell'ingrandimento

The microscope offers a wide range of magnification by combining different eyepieces and objective lenses. The total magnification is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the objective lens magnification.

• Oculari: Use either the 10x widefield or 25x widefield eyepieces.
• Lenti dell'obiettivo: Rotate the forward-facing nosepiece to select from 4x, 10x, 40xS (spring-loaded), and 100xS (spring-loaded, oil immersion) DIN achromatic objectives.
• The 40xS and 100xS objectives are spring-loaded to prevent damage to slides when focusing.

4.2. Controllo dell'illuminazione

The microscope uses lower (diascopic) Brightfield LED illumination to transmit light through the specimen.

• Sorgente luminosa a LED: Turn on the LED illumination using the power switch. Adjust the brightness using the rheostat control knob.
• Abbe Condenser (1.25 NA): Adjust the condenser to control the distance of the light from the stage.
• Diaframma a iride: Use the iris diaphragm lever to optimize the amount of light illuminating the specimen, enhancing contrast and resolution.

4.3. Messa a fuoco

Achieve clear focus using the coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs:

• Manopola di messa a fuoco grossolana: Use for large adjustments to bring the specimen into approximate focus, especially with lower magnification objectives.
• Manopola di messa a fuoco fine: Use for small, precise adjustments to achieve sharp focus, particularly with higher magnification objectives.

4.4. Meccanico Stage Operazione

The double-layer mechanical stage allows for precise movement of the slide.

• Slide Holder: Secure the microscope slide using the slide clips on the mechanical stage.
• X-Y Axis Control: Use the X-Y axis knobs located below the stage to move the slide horizontally and vertically, allowing you to scan the specimen area.

4.5. Siedentopf Head Adjustment

The Siedentopf binocular head is designed for comfortable viewing e condivisione.

• Inter-pupillary Adjustment: Adjust the distance between the two ocular tubes (53 to 77mm) to match your eye spacing for comfortable viewing.
• Regolazione diottrica: Use the diopter ring on one of the ocular tubes to compensate for differences in eye strength between your left and right eyes.
• Rotazione: The head can rotate 360 degrees, which is useful for sharing the view with others without moving the entire microscope.

5. Manutenzione

Una corretta manutenzione garantisce la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali del microscopio:

• Pulizia delle lenti: Per pulire obiettivi e oculari, utilizzare solo carta e soluzione specifiche per la pulizia delle lenti. Evitare di toccare le superfici ottiche a mani nude.
• Pulizia del corpo: Pulisci il corpo del microscopio con un panno morbido eamp stoffa. Evitare l'uso di prodotti chimici aggressivi o detergenti abrasivi.
• Protezione dalla polvere: Always use the provided dust cover when the microscope is not in use to prevent dust accumulation.
• Magazzinaggio: Conservare il microscopio in un luogo fresco e asciutto, lontano dalla luce solare diretta e da temperature estreme.
• Olio da immersione: Dopo aver utilizzato l'obiettivo a immersione in olio 100x, pulire immediatamente l'olio dalla lente utilizzando carta per lenti e soluzione detergente.
