Introduction; Unpacking And Assembly; Using The Microscope - OPTIKA MICROSCOPES B-190 Manual De Instrucciones

2.0 INTRODUCTION

This microscope is a scientific precision instrument designed to last for many years with a minimum
of maintenance. It is built to high optical and mechanical standards and to withstand daily use.
Optika reminds you that this manual contains important information on safety and maintenance, and
that it must therefore be made accessible to the instrument users.
Optika declines any responsibility deriving from instrument uses that do not comply with this ma-
nual.

3.0 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

3.1 The microscope is housed in a moulded Styrofoam container. Remove the tape from the
edge of the container and lift the top half of the container. Take some care to avoid that the
optical items (objectives and eyepieces) fall out and get damaged. Using both hands (one
around the arm and one around the base), lift the microscope from the container and put it on
a stable desk.
3.2 Place the observation head onto the top of the arm and tighten the lock-screw. Insert the
eyepieces into the eye tubes.
3.3 Connect the provided 7,5Vdc power supply to the power supply input jack on the rear of the
microscope.

4.0 USING THE MICROSCOPE

4.1 Adjust the observation head
Loosen the lock-screw, turn the observation head to a comfortable position for observation,
and then lock the lock-screw.
4.2 Place the specimen on the stage
Lock the specimen slide on the mechanical stage using the slide clamp. Ensure that the spe-
cimen is centred over the stage opening by adjusting the coaxial knobs of the stage.
4.3 Lamp settings
The microscope is fitted with power white LED illuminator. Before turning on the light, read
the section 5.3 about electrical safety precautions. Insert the plug of the 7,5Vdc power supply
into the jack on the rear and turn on the ON/OFF switch. Turn the brightness adjustment knob
to a brightness suitable for observation.
4.4 Adjust interpupillary distance
Hold the right and left parts of the observation head by both hands and adjust the interpupil-
lary distance by turning the two parts until one circle of light can be seen.
