I、Safety note

1. Carefully open the box, avoid the accessories, like lens, dropping to ground and being damaged.
2. Do keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, dusty and easy
shaking environment. Make sure the stage is smooth, horizontal and firm enough.
3. If the bacterium solution or the water splash to the stage, objective or viewing tube, pull out the
power cord at once, and wipe up the microscope. Otherwise, the instrument will be damaged.
4. When running, the lamp house and nearby parts will be very hot. Please ensure there is enough
cooling room for them.
5. Make sure the instrument is earthed, to avoid lighting strike.
 6. For safety, be sure the main switch is in “O” (off) state before replace the halogen lamp or the
fuse, then cut off the power, and do the operation after the lamp bulb and the lamp house
completely cool.
7. Check the input voltage: be sure the input voltage which signed in the back of the microscope is
consistent with the power supply voltage, or it will bring a serious damage to the instrument.
8. Use the factory supplied power cord, please.

II、Maintenance

1. All the lenses have been well checked and adjusted. It is forbidden to disassemble them yourself.
2. The nosepiece and coarse/fine focus unit have a compact and precise frame, please don’t
disassemble them as possible as you can.
3. Keep the instrument clean, wipe dust regularly, and be attention to avoid contaminating the
optical elements especially.
4. The contaminations on the prism, as finger mark and oil, could be gently wiped with a piece of soft
cloth or tissue paper, gauze which has been immersed in pure alcohol or xylene. ( note that the
alcohol and the xylene are all burned easily, do not let them near the fire, and use them in a
drafty room as possible as you can.)
5. Don’t use organic solvent to wipe the non-optical elements, when you need to clean, use the soft
detergent, please.
6. When using, if the microscope is splash by liquid, cut off the power at once, and wipe up the
moisture.
7. Do not disassemble any parts of the microscope. That will affect the function or decline the
performance of the microscope.
8. Place the instrument in a cool, dry position. After using the microscope, remember to cover it
with dust helmet. Do wait for the lamp house cooling completely before cover.

careful of not letting the objective touch
the specimen.

4-1-5 Adjusting the Interpupillar

Distance (Figure 34)

The interpupillar distance range: 48mm ～

75mm. When observing with two eyes, hold
on the left and right prism holder, turn around
the axis, adjusting the interpupillar distance

Figure 33 until the left and right fields of view coincide

completely.

4-1-6 Adjusting the Diopter (Figure

35)

The right ocular tube is fixed. So by

turning the left diopter ring after the right
ocular focus on the specimen, the operator
who’s left and right eye has different
eyesight can obtain a comfortable focus
position with both eyes.

4-1-7 Focus (figure21, figure22)

1、 When not using the video set
Push in the light path selector lever (figure 25)
completely, then observe with both eyes. Use the
10×objective focus, to avoid the objective touch
with the specimen, you should raise the mechanical
N-510stage at first, let the specimen close to the objective,
then slowly separating them to focus.

The operator can converse turn the coarse focus

knob to get the specimen down ,and search images
in the 10×ocular simultaneously, then use the fine
knob to focus. At this moment, you can replace
other magnification objectives safely, and focus
without the risk of destroying the specimen.
2、When using the video set
Pull out the light path selector lever (see
figure25), observe with both eyes, when the image
is sharp, you can see the pictures directly on the
video screen which connected by the
microphotograph system through the video mount.
Figure 36  If you need to fix the stage on a vertical
position to make the observation become
more convenience, take use of the locking set.

4-1-8Adjusting the Swing out

Condenser (Figure 23)
The center of the condenser and the light axes of
the objective are coaxial. It has been adjusted
before leaving factory, so the user needn’t to adjust
them by self.
The highest position of the condenser has been
adjusted too. It also needn’t any user’s operation.
Figure 37 Turn the condenser focus knob to shift the
condenser. It needs to raise the condenser when
using the high magnification objective, and to
decline when using the low magnification one.
