Impostare

  1. Disimballaggio: Rimuovere con cautela tutti i componenti dall'imballaggio. Conservare l'imballaggio per un eventuale stoccaggio o trasporto futuro.
  2. Posizionamento: Place the microscope on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, dust, and vibrations.
  3. Collegamento elettrico:
    • Alimentazione CA: Connect the AC power adapter to the microscope's power input jack and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
    • Potenza della batteria: Open the battery compartment (usually located at the base) and insert 3 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. This allows for portable use.
  4. Installazione dell'oculare: Insert the desired eyepiece (e.g., 10X or 25X) into the top of the monocular head.
  5. Copertura antipolvere: When not in use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover to protect it from dust and debris.

Istruzioni per l'uso

  1. Accensione: Flip the power switch (usually located at the base) to turn on the illumination.
  2. Selezione dell'illuminazione:
    • Luce inferiore: Use for transparent specimens (e.g., prepared slides). Adjust the intensity using the dimmer control.
    • Luce superiore: Use for opaque specimens (e.g., leaves, insects). Adjust the intensity using the dimmer control.
  3. Placing a Specimen: Place a prepared slide or your own specimen on the stage. Secure it with the stage clip.
  4. Selezione dell'ingrandimento: 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.
  5. Messa a fuoco:
    • Guarda attraverso l'oculare.
    • Utilizzare il manopola di messa a fuoco grossolana (larger knob) to bring the specimen into approximate focus. Turn it slowly to raise or lower the stage.
    • Una volta messa a fuoco approssimativamente, utilizzare il manopola di messa a fuoco fine (smaller knob) for precise, sharp focusing.
  6. 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.
  7. Incrementoasing Ingrandimento: 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.
