5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1. Powering On and Illumination

  • Ensure the LED ring light power adapter is plugged in.
  • Flip the ON/OFF switch on the dimmer control box to the "ON" position.
  • Adjust the brightness using the dimmer knob on the control box.

5.2. Regolazione dell'ingrandimento e della messa a fuoco

  • Place your specimen on the working stage sotto la lente dell'obiettivo.
  • Look through the eyepieces.
  • Rotate the zoom knob on the microscope head to adjust the magnification from 3.5X to 180X.
  • Use the large focus knobs on the microscope head holder to bring the specimen into sharp focus.
  • Adjust the interpupillary distance by moving the eyepiece tubes closer or further apart until you see a single, circular field of view.
  • Adjust the diopter on one eyepiece (usually the left one) to compensate for differences in vision between your eyes. Focus with the main focus knob using the non-diopter eyepiece, then adjust the diopter ring on the other eyepiece until that eye is also in sharp focus.

5.3. Using the Digital Camera

  • Launch the installed camera software on your computer.
  • The software should detect the 10MP USB3 camera and display a live feed from the microscope.
  • Use the software interface to capture still images, record videos, and perform measurements. Refer to the camera software's specific user guide for detailed features and functions (e.g., image-stitching, extended-depth-of-focus for Windows software).
  • Adjust the camera's focus independently if your trinocular port has a focus adjustment, or fine-tune the main microscope focus for optimal camera image clarity.

6. Manutenzione

  • Pulizia delle lenti: Use a soft lens brush to remove dust. For smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to a lens tissue and gently wipe in a circular motion. Avoid touching lens surfaces with bare fingers.
  • Pulizia del corpo: Pulisci il corpo del microscopio con un panno morbido eamp cloth. Do not use organic solvents or harsh chemicals.
  • Magazzinaggio: Quando non in uso, coprire il microscopio con l'apposita custodia antipolvere per proteggerlo da polvere e detriti. Conservare in un luogo fresco e asciutto.
  • Lubrificazione: Moving parts are factory-lubricated. Do not attempt to lubricate them yourself unless specifically instructed by AmScope support.
