After using your Premiere

microscope, turn the dimmer control to the lowest setting and turn off the power to prolong the life of the halogen bulb. Lower the stage by rotating the coarse adjustment knob. (Release the locking ring first.) The instrument should be covered with a hood to keep dust off it or dis-assembled and stored in its styrofoam case.

MAINTENANCE

Like other optical instruments, this microscope should be kept in a cool, shady and dry place, free from dust, fumes and moisture. If not stored in its box, cover with a hood to protect from dust.

Since all lenses have been carefully aligned, it is not desirable to dismantle them at random. If there is any dirt settled on them, wipe it off gently with some absorbent cotton moistened with lens cleaner. If alcohol is used, be careful not to let it penetrate through the lenses and dissolve the gumming. Any dust settled on the lenses can be blown away with an air blower or wiped off with a clean soft camel hair brush. In cleaning mechanical parts and applying non-corrosive lubricant, take special care not to touch the optical elements, especially the objective lenses.

When dis-assembling the microscope for storage, always put the covers into the eyepiece tubes and objective apertures to prevent dust settling inside the microscope lenses.

The 100X oil immersion objective should be wiped off with a piece of soft clean cloth or lens tissue moistened with xylene immediately after using.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove microscope stand from box and styrofoam packing and place it on a stable work table. It is strongly recommended to keep the styrofoam and carton for possible future shipping.

2. Remove all plastic bags and covering (these can be discarded).

3. Remove binocular head from the packing.

4. Remove the plastic cap covering the neck of the microscope base. Fit the binocular head into the neck of the microscope stand. Tighten with the screw clamp as necessary. The head is 360° rotatable and can be adjusted to any position desired.

5. Unscrew the plastic aperture covers from the nosepiece. Beginning with the 4X

Objective, remove from plastic case and screw the objective into any opening in the nosepiece. Rotate nosepiece as needed and fit remaining 3 objectives into each aperture in ascending order.

6. Remove the plastic eyepiece tube covers and insert eyepieces into each eyepiece tube.

7. Attach power cord to the back of microscope and connect to power source.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Set light dimmer control to lowest intensity and switch on the power (switch at back of scope base), increasing slowly to desired level.

Begin by placing a microscope slide containing a specimen to be observed on the object stage and clamp it carefully with the movable spring clip. Adjust the interpupillary distance between the two eyepieces to the most comfortable position for the user. Adjust the Graduated Diopter Ring on the left eyepiece for maximum clarity.

Unlock the stage by moving the locking control inside the left coarse focus knob ring to the up position. Using the X and Y Direction Knobs located just below the stage

(on the right hand side) the specimen may be moved to the center of the stage for observation. Once the specimen is in focus, the X and Y Direction Knobs may be adjusted to observe different sections of the specimen.

Begin observation of your specimen with the 4X Objective. Turn the coarse focusing knob until a clear image is obtained, then use the fine focus knob to enhance the observation of the specimen to its clearest image.

The locking control can be used to lock the stage in position while examining a specimen. This can help prevent the stage from being raised enough to reach the objectives. Turn the ring so the locking control is in the up position to lock the stage.

Be sure to unlock the stage by moving the lever to the up or down position to allow the stage to travel further up when necessary.

Regulating brightness of the view: There are several ways to adjust the amount of light which is shed on a specimen, and the light will affect the observation. In most cases, a better view is obtained by the use of a colored glass filter inserted below the iris diaphragm. Slide the filter holder to the right to reveal an open ring. Insert the blue or green filter into this ring and slide the filter holder back into position under the diaphragm. The iris diaphragm below the stage can be opened (slide lever forward) or closed (slide lever back to left) to control the amount of light directed through the condenser. The condenser assembly under the stage can be shifted up or down by means of the control knob (left hand side under stage) to effectively move the light beam closer to (up) or away from (down) the specimen under observation.

Finally, the dimmer control allows the user to adjust the intensity of the halogen light.

Vary these different methods of regulating the light beam on the specimen to obtain the most effective view for your microscope needs.

When the desired view is obtained under the lowest power (4X), rotate the nosepiece to the next higher magnification (10X). The nosepiece should “click” into position. It should only be necessary to adjust the fine focus knob slightly to again have a clear view of the specimen. As the magnification is increased, the user may also find adjustments in the various methods of regulating the brightness will improve the view of the specimen.

It is important to remember when adjusting the focus that the objective should never touch the specimen. When increasing to 100X magnification, the objective will appear to be very close to the slide. Because the 100X is an oil immersion objective, a drop of cedar-wood oil or other immersion oil should be applied in the gap between the objective and the specimen. (Note: all slides should be prepared with cover slips over the specimen for observation under the 100X objective.) The 100X oil immersion

APPLICATION

Premiere

®

Model MIS-6000 Infinity Optics Microscopes are specially designed for clinical examination and teaching demonstrations in laboratories, colleges and medical fields. They are also ideal instruments for biological, bacteriological, pathological and pharmaceutical research. These microscopes are equipped with Infinity objectives,

10X widefield eyepieces, Abbe condenser, built-in variable light source and coarse and fine focus adjustment to give a nice sharp image. With the revolutionary Infinity optics, you have an infinite path of light range between the objectives and the eyepiece. This gives the added benefit of adding compartments to your microscope and not affecting the optics. With the Infinity optical system you get much better results especially when using phase contrast, dark field or polarized light techniques in comparison with regular achromatic objectives.
