Introduction; Unpacking And Assembly - OPTIKA MICROSCOPES B-500 Manual De Instrucciones

2.0 InTROdUCIOn
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 classroom
and laboratory 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 The objectives are located in individual protective vials. Remove the objectives from the vials
and insert them into the microscope nosepiece in the order from the lowest magnification to
the highest, in a clockwise direction from the rear.
3.3
Insert the eyepieces into the eye tubes. Place the observation head onto the top of the arm
and tighten the lock-screw. If you have a trinocular microscope and want to use the photo
port, insert your adaptor in the hole on the top of the observation head and fixate it with the
screw on the side.
Connect the mains plug into the socket at the base
Make sure, before you turn the illumination on, that the voltage selector is set to the mains voltage for
your region.
The power cord should be used only on network sockets equipped with adequate grounding.
Contact a technician to check the state of your electrical system. If there is no need to install additional
accessories, the instrument is now ready for use. Once positioned and installed with the necessary
components, the microscope is ready to be used. Your microscope is a laboratory instrument desi-
gned to last. Handle it always carefully and avoid abrupt vibrations or shocks. Always disconnect the
power cable from the microscope when not in use for long time, while you clean it or when you perform
any maintenance.
