1 Before use

1----1 NOTICE

1) Microscope ought to be placed in a dry and clean place. Do not expose the microscope in the sun directly. Avoid high temperature and violent vibration.

2) As microscope is a precision instrument, handle with care, avoiding impact or abrupt movement during transportation.

3) To keep the image clear, do not leave fingerprints or stains on the surfaces of the lens.

4) Never turn the left and right focusing knob in the adverse direction at the same time, otherwise the microscope will be damaged.

5) Hold the camera with one hand for fearing of falling when you take the films out of the big camera.

1----2 MAINTENA NC E

1) All lenses must be kept clean. Fine dust on the surface of the lens should be blown off with hand blower or wiped off gently with a soft lens tissue; Fingerprints or oil marked on it should be wiped off with a tissue moistened with a small amount of xylene or a

3:7 mixture of alcohol and ether.

2) Never use the organic solution to clean the other surface (especially the plastic surfaces).

If necessary, please choose the neutral detergent.

3) Do not take the microscope apart for fearing that it is damaged.

4) After using, cover the microscope with the dust-cover provided and store it in a dry and clean place free from moisture to prevent rust.

5) To keep the performance of the microscope, please check it periodically. The detail can be gotten from the agent nearby.

4----1 Use the glass stage

1) Press the glass stage on the sunken place then the other side of the glass stage will be lifted. (Fig.1)

Fig.1

Fig.2

4----2 Adjust the degree of tightness of the focusing arm.

1) If you want to adjust degree of tightness of the focusing arm, you can hold one of the focusing knobs and turn another one to attain a suitable position. The degree of tightness relies on the direction to be turned. The clockwise direction is tight, otherwise, is loose.

2) The suitable position of tightness can make the adjustment more comfortable and prevent the focusing bracket from slipping down by its weight during the observation. (Fig.2)

4----3 Set the s pecim en slid e

1) Set the specimen on the center of stage plate. If necessary, clamp the slide with the clips.

2) Turn on the light.

4----4 Adjust the s peci m en slid e

1) Turn the zoom control knob to the maximum magnification.

2) Turn the diopter adjusting rings to the zero.

3) Observe the specimen through the right eyepiece and make the jkj image clear by turning the focusing knob.

Fig.3 4) Rotate the zoom control knob to the minimum magnification.

5) Observe the specimen through the right eyepiece and make the image clear by turning the right diopter adjusting ring② .(Fig.3)

6) Redo the step(1),(3),(4)and (5) till the right adjusting ring is more precise.

7) Do the step (4) and make the image clear which is observed through the left eyepiece by turning the left diopter adjusting ring

①. (Fig.3)

4----5 Adjust the int er p upillar y distan ce

1) Adjust the prism housing along the direction of arrowhead of the

Fig.4 till the observation is comfortable.

Fig.4

4----6 Use Eyepiece shields

1) For user who does not wear glasses, hold the diopter-adjusting ring to prevent them from rotating and turn the eyepiece till the eyepiece shields fit the observer well.

2) For user who wears glasses, take the eyepiece shields off before

observation

4----7 Mount and Remove the Optional Eyepiece Micrometer

1) Turn and remove the mounting ring② from the eyepiece.(Fig.5)

2) Clean the eyepiece micrometer① and mount it to the mounting

ring with the inscription side downward.

3) Gently twist the mounting ring with the eyepiece micrometer into the eyepiece till tightening② securely.

4) To remove the eyepiece micrometer, take down the mounting ring③

Fig.5 by twisting and take out of the micrometer, and then wrap it.

4----8 Install the illum ination devi ce

1)Insert the illumination device① in the bracket with the protrudent

side toward the lock-screw② and tighten the lock-screw. (Fig.6)

2) Put the plug into the socket of the pillar stand③.

Pole

4----9 Choose th e o pti cal s yst em

1) You can alternate the binocular observation and video capture by

pushing or pulling the pole. You can attain binocular observation by

pushing the pole inside, or attain video capture by pulling it outside.

No matter what optical system is chosen, push or pull the pole

thoroughly.

4----15 Appea r th e im a ge on th e com puter

1) Turn on the power supply and let the computer work.

2) Install the software and the driver of the A/D board. (If they have been installed, this step can be omitted.

3) Double click the icon of the software, and then the video window will appear. You can set the size of the window according to your linking

4) Draw out the pole and adjust the focusing knob, and then the image will appear on the computer screen clearly.

5) If no image or the image without color, it may be because the model of the input signal does not match the output signal of

CCD or the model of C-VIDEO/S-VIDEO is not correct. The detail of operation refers to《Software operation manual》.

1 6 Appear th e im age on th e com put er an d th e

Monito r s yn chron ou sly

1) Do step 4 and step 4----14 to connect the computer and the Monitor.

2) Operate step 4

and step

4----15

, we can make the image appear on the computer and Monitor at the same time.

4----17 Adjust the im age

1) Put the base, stand and digital head correctly, then fix the lock-screw tightly.

2) Put the object on the base stage.

3) Observe the object through the eyepiece and adjust the focusing knob to make the image of the object clearly.

4) Move the digital head or the object gently to adjust the image agreeing with observer.

4----18 Brief instru cti o n fo r th e s oftwa re

1) The program design of the software is up to date, and the

Chinese/English interface can berth powerful delineation bar which be used much conveniently and rapidly. You can finish most of analyze work only to click the mouse.

2) Can afford many powerful area choosing tools which can analyse any area your linking at will, such as adjusting hue and image, dealing with mathematical morphology, image matching, texture analyse, character identify and so on.

Fig.12

3) Geometry character measuring function, automatically analyzing function such as slightness body, grain body, line body and so on. The outcome can be kept in data and can be made into chart and so forth.

4 Use th e whi te balan ce

1) The CCD has auto white balance when the white balance switch is on“ON”.

2) Please put the switch on “ON” in general. Let the switch be

“OFF” only in special, for example, observing the red cell, otherwise the color of red cell will be adjusted into white.

3) If you want to observe another single color, please let the switch be“ON”again when you finish the observation, and put the switch on “OFF” again after auto balance, or the color of the image will be distortion.(Fig.12)
