EXC-500 MICROSCOPE SERIES
SAFETY NOTES
1. Open the shipping carton carefully to prevent any accessory, i.e. objectives or eyepieces, from dropping and being damaged.
2. Do not discard the molded foam container; the container should be retained should the microscope ever require reshipment.
3. Keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, and dusty environments.
Ensure the microscope is located on a smooth, level and firm surface.
4. If any specimen solutions or other liquids splash onto the stage, objective or any other component, disconnect the power cord immediately and wipe up the spillage. Otherwise, the instrument may be damaged.
5. All electrical connectors (power cord) should be inserted into an electrical surge suppressor to prevent damage due to voltage fluctuations.
6. For safety when replacing the LED bulb or fuse, be sure the main switch is off (“O”), remove the power cord, and replace the LED bulb after the bulb and the lamp house has completely cooled.
7. Confirm that the input voltage indicated on your microscope corresponds to your line voltage. The use of a different input voltage other than indicated will cause severe damage to the microscope.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Do not attempt to disassemble any component including eyepieces, objectives or focusing assembly.
2. Keep the instrument clean; remove dirt and debris regularly. Accumulated dirt on metal surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. More persistent dirt should be removed using a mild soap solution. Do not use organic solvents for cleansing.
3. The outer surface of the optics should be inspected and cleaned periodically using an air stream from an air bulb. If dirt remains on the optical surface, use a soft cloth or cotton swab dampened with a lens cleaning solution (available at camera stores). All optical lenses should be swabbed using a circular motion. A small amount of absorbent cotton wound on the end of a tapered stick such as cotton swabs or Q-tips, makes a useful tool for cleaning recessed optical surfaces. Avoid using an excessive amount of solvents as this may cause problems with optical coatings or cemented optics or the flowing solvent may pick up grease making cleaning more difficult. Oil immersion objectives should be cleaned immediately after use by removing the oil with lens tissue or a clean, soft cloth.
4. Store the instrument in a cool, dry environment. Cover the microscope with the dust cover when not in use.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new ACCU-SCOPE
®
microscope. ACCU-SCOPE
® microscopes are engineered and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Your microscope will last a lifetime if used and maintained properly. ACCU-SCOPE
®
microscopes are carefully assembled, inspected and tested by our staff of trained technicians in our New York facility. Careful quality control procedures ensure each microscope is of the highest quality prior to shipment.
UNPACKING AND COMPONENTS
Your microscope arrived packed in a molded EPE foam container. Do not discard the container : the
EPE foam container should be retained for reshipment of your microscope if needed. Avoid placing the microscope in dusty surroundings or in high temperature or humid areas as mold and mildew will form.
Carefully remove the microscope from the container by its arm and base and place the microscope on a flat, vibration-free surface.

Adjusting Interpupillary Distance - (Fig. 17)
To adjust the interpupillary distance, hold the left and right eyetubes while observing a specimen. Rotate the eyetubes around the central axis until the fields of view of both eyetubes ① coincide completely. A complete circle should be seen in the viewing field when viewing the specimen slide. An improper adjustment will cause operator fatigue and will disrupt the objective parfocality.
Where “●” ② on the eyepiece tube lines up to the interpupillary scale ③, then that is the number for the interpupillary distance. Range:47~75mm.
Remember your interpupillary number for future operation.
NOTE: The eyepiece tubes can be rotated 180° to increase the eyepoint height by 34mm to accommodate the needs of different users.
Adjusting The Light Path - (Fig. 18)

Adjusting the Focus - (Fig. 19)
To ensure that you obtain sharp images with both eyes (since eyes vary, especially for those wearing glasses) any eyesight variation can be corrected in the following manner: set both diopter collars to “0”. Using your left eye only and the 10X objective, focus your specimen by adjusting the coarse adjustment knob image to its sharpest focus by turning the fine adjustment knob

. Rotate the diopter collar to obtain the sharpest focus. To obtain the same sharp image using your right eye, do not touch the coarse or fine adjustments. Instead, rotate the right diopter collar until the sharpest image appears.
Repeat several times to check.
NOTE:
do not counter rotate the focusing knob as this will cause severe problems and damage to the focusing system.
Adjusting the Focus Stop

Centering the Condenser - (Fig. 21-23)
The top height of the condenser was pre-set at the factory.
It is adjustable using the condenser adjustment knobs on either side of the condenser. To adjust, follow the steps below.
Rotate either of the condenser knobs ① to raise it to the highest position.
Rotate the 10x objective into the light path and focus the specimen.
Rotate the field iris diaphragm adjustment ring ② to put the field iris diaphragm to the smallest position.
Rotate the condenser knob and adjust the image to be its sharpest.
Using the Hex wrench provided, adjust the center adjustment screws ③ and move the specimen to the center of the field of view.
Open the field iris diaphragm gradually. If the image is in the center all the time and inscribed to the field of view, the condenser has been centered correctly.
On the front of the condenser, select the number that matches your objective lens.

Adjusting the Aperture Diaphragm –
(Fig. 24)
The aperture size is increased or decreased by rotating the condenser aperture diaphragm ring ①. When the aperture is closed, the brightness and resolution are decreased but the contrast and range of focus are increased. If the aperture diaphragm is opened, the brightness and resolution are increased; however, the contrast and range of focus are diminished. For optimal viewing conditions set the condenser aperture diaphragm ring to match the magnification of the objective in the optical path.

The fuse holder drawer is located underneath the AC power cord receptacle on the back of the microscope.
To replace the fuses, turn the power off and unplug the microscope from the wall outlet and then from the power cord receptacle on the back of the microscope.
Insert a small flat head (-) screwdriver into the top of the fuse holder drawer ① and carefully slide it open to expose the two fuses.
(Fig. 27 shows the view looking up from the bottom of the microscope with the fuse holder drawer open.)
Being careful not to break the glass of either of the fuses, gently insert the screwdriver up through the bottom openings of the drawer as shown and push each fuse up to remove.

Please remember to never
leave the microscope with any of the objectives or eyepieces removed and always protect the microscope with the dust cover when not in use.
SERVICE
ACCU-SCOPE
®
microscopes are precision instruments which require periodic servicing to keep them performing properly and to compensate for normal wear. A regular schedule of preventative maintenance by qualified personnel is highly recommended. Your authorized ACCU-SCOPE
®
distributor can arrange for this service. Should unexpected problems be experienced with your instrument, proceed as follows:
1. Contact the ACCU-SCOPE ® distributor from whom you purchased the microscope. Some problems can be resolved simply over the telephone.
2. If it is determined that the microscope should be returned to your ACCU-SCOPE
®
distributor or to
ACCU-SCOPE
®
for warranty repair, pack the instrument in its original Styrofoam shipping carton. If you no longer have this carton, pack the microscope in a crush-resistant carton with a minimum of three inches of a shock absorbing material surrounding it to prevent in-transit damage. The microscope should be wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent Styrofoam dust from damaging the microscope. Always ship the microscope in an upright position; NEVER SHIP A MICROSCOPE ON ITS SIDE. The microscope or component should be shipped prepaid and insured.
