Assemblage

1. Assemblage

1) Assemblage of the Stage

Place the stand on a stable plane, insert the stage into the base, and tighten the fixing screw with wrench (small) attached at the back of the stand.

 

Note: The stage must be placed plane

2) Lifting of the FocusArm

The focus arm can be adjusted according to your special demands. Loosen the screw with the wrench ( big ), and the arm will 55mm lower than before after re-mounting the focus arm.

 

Note: Before tightening the screw, make sure that the 2 pins on the arm fit into the grooves on the vertical slider.

3) Mount the ZoomTube

Tighten the fixing screw of the zoom tube slightly to fix the zoom tube on the stand.

 

Warning: Do not tighten the screw too tight as this will make damage to the instrument.

4) Mount the Eyepiece

Rotate the eyepiece to 0, and insert the eyepiece into the tube completely till it touches the end of the tube.

Note: when inserting the 10x eyepiece, make sure to touch the end of tube.When inserting or extracting the eyepiece, please hold the cap instead of the diopter ring.

                            

 

5) Wrenches are put at the Back of the Stand

6) Image Recording Instrument includes: digital camera, digital photography head, etc. To satisfy your special requirements, kinds of interface are supplied for your choosing, and this will make your operation and observation more convenient.

a. Assemblage of 0.4x reduce lens and the CCD

Take away the dust-cover of the trinocular, insert one end of the 0.4x reduce lens into the CCD and tighten it. Insert the other end into the trinocular port,Adjust the CCD, and tighten it.

 

b. Assemblage of the CameraAdapter and Digital Camera

 

Take away the dust-cover, insert the camera adapter into one end of the

intermediate lens. Insert 0.4x reduce lens into the other end of the intermediate lens, and tighten it.Adjust the camera, and tighten it.

 

 

 

Operation

1. Preparation

1) Illumination

Insert the power source into the socket of the transmitted base, connect the power source and turn on the switch.Adjust the brightness. It is not necessary to adjust the brightness to the strongest as this will reduce the life of the bulb.

 

2) Adjust the torque of focusing knob

Adjust the torque of the focus knob so that the zoom body will not fall down because of its own weight.

 

3) Interpupillary DistanceAdjusting

This adjustment should be performed every time if the observer changes since the interpuillary distance is different between individuals.Adjust the interpupillary distance so that the view field for each eye is merged into one.

Move while holding each tube with both hands.

 

4) DiopterAdjusting

a. Set the zooming knob to the highest magnification (5x), focus on the sample using the focus knob

b. Set the zooming knob to the lowest magnification (0.8x), look into the left eyepiece with your left eye, focus on the sample using the diopter ring on the left eyepiece. Then look into the right eyepiece with your right eye, and focus on the sample using the diopter ring on the right eyepiece.

c. Repeat Step a & b until the image is projected on the focus.

2. Focusing

1) Check theWorking Distance

Working Distance is the distance between focus plane and zoom tube. The W.D For ST-8 series zoom stereo microscope is 115mm. Set the distance between the bottom of the zoom tube and specimen at 115mm, and this will be helpful to focus.

2) Focus on the Specimen

Turn the focusing knob both at the same direction to make the zoom tube move up and down. So that the focus will fall on the specimen.

3) Magnification

Turn the zoom knob on both sides of the zoom tube to change the magnification of the specimen.

TotalMagnification

Zoom knob on right has the indication of the zooming magnification. Total

magnification can be calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the zooming body magnification.

Note:When auxiliary objective is attached, multiply its magnification as well.

 

 

 Assemblage and usage of the attachments

1. Auxiliary Objective

Twist the auxiliary objective into the zoom body.Adjust the focus knob to a certain height.

 

2. Illumination

Three kinds of illumination are available for your special needs: Transmitted light, Sideling light and LED Circuit light

Power Supply

 

Input Voltage	200V-240V, 50/60Hz, 0.4A

3. Installation of Illumination

1) Install the sideling illumination

Set the protrusion on the lamp house alight with the inside of the screw hole on the focus arm as shown. Secure it in place using mounting screw from outside.

 

2) Install LED circuit illumination

Insert the fixing screw into the groove of the zoom body and tighten it.

 

 

Maintenance

1. Working Environment

Temperature range is 0°C-40°C and the max. Humidity is 85%.Avoid high temperature and humidification.

Do not expose the microscope in the sun directly.

Place microscope on a stable plane and keep it in balance.Avoid violent vibration.

Keep the environment breezy and cover the microscope with the dust-cover.

2. Protect the microscope well

As microscope is a precision instrument, please avoid violent vibration. Improper using will make it unworkable.

3. Lens cleaning

Avoid dust and fingerprint on the lens as these will reduce its precision. Please clean as the following

1) Blow the dust with soot blower. Soft brush or gauze can also be used to remove the dust

2) More persistent dirt, such as fingerprints and oil, may be removed with soft cotton or lens tissue lightly moistened with absolute alcohol.As absolute alcohol are quite flammable, please take great care when using.

4. Cleaning of the painted or plastic parts

Avoid using organic solvents ( such as alcohol, ether, etc) to clean the painted or plastic parts of the instrument.We recommend the use of gauze.

More persistent dirt may be cleaned with mild detergent solution

5. Storage

When the microscope is not in use, cover it up with dust cover, and store in a dry place not subject to mold. Do not expose the microscope in the sun directly, avoid high temperature and humidification
