I. Safety Precautions
1 After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen that is
accompanied with a potential of infection, clean the parts coming in contact with the
specimen to prevent infection.
· Moving this product is accompanied with the risk of dropping the specimen. Be
sure to remove the specimen before moving this product.
· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous, promptly take the infection
prevention measures.
2 The microscope is provided with a simplified waterproof mechanism. Therefore, if
culture liquid or water is split on the stage, revolving nosepiece or microscope frame,
damage to the equipment or an electrical shock may result. Immediately wipe the
liquid or water off if it is spilt on them.
3 The microscope is not covered by warranty in terms of laser safety. The user should
assume liabilities for any consequence of user modification,
4 The surfaces of the lamp housing will become extremely hot during long-time
operation. Be sure to keep the flammable stuffs such as paper, alcohol, oil away from
the lamp house to avoider.
5 When using the microscope, route the power cord away from the lamp housing.
Should the power cord come in contact with the hot lamp housing, the power cord
could melt and cause electric shock.
6 To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the light bulb, set the
main switch to “O” (OFF) then disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet in
advance. Whenever you replace the bulb during use or right after use, allow the lamp
housing and bulb to cool before touching.
7 Electric shock warning:
Remove of the bottom cover of the microscope makes the dangerous electric parts
inside exposed. Any contact with these parts may cause shock or death. In event of
maintenance, please apply to qualified professionals for help.
8 The G4 bulb socket is designed specially for 6V/20W halogen bulb. Damage will
occur if bulb of different description is replaced.
9 Always be sure the power cord provided by the supplier. If the proper power cord is
not used, product safety performance cannot be warranted.
10 To avoid potential shock hazards when replacing the fuse, set the main switch to
“O”(OFF) then disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet in advance.
11 Always ensure that the grounding terminal of the microscope and that of the wall
outlet are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded, the supplier can no
longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the equipment.
12 Never insert metallic objects into the air vents (A⑨ in Fig.2) of the microscope
frame as this could result in electrical shock, personal injury and equipment damage.
13 A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it
to sudden or severe impact

II. Moving the Microscope
1 When moving the microscope, remove the observation tube, then carefully carry
the microscope frame by the base (front edge)(② in Fig.1) and the grasping part(①in
Fig.1) in the upper rear.
2 Also be sure to remove the specimen since it may fall.
3 When moving the microscope for a long distance, it is also recommended to
disconnect all cables from the equipment.
4 When transporting it, also engage the adhesive tape lock mechanisms and package
it sufficiently.
5 Also be careful against slipping of hands during carrying.
★ Damage to the microscope will occur if you grasp it by other parts including
the stage, coarse/fine adjustment knobs, the nosepieces, etc.

will increase. On the contrary, if a large aperture, brightness and resolution will be
increased, while the contrast and the depth of field will be reduced.
② In order to obtain ideal and appropriate contrast image, you can make the aperture
diaphragm adjustment transferred to the numerical aperture of the objective of 70%
to 80%. Aperture diaphragm controls the numerical aperture of the condenser. Don't
use it to adjust the brightness,you can use brightness control knob to adjust the
brightness instead.When observing the aperture diaphragm,please move the eyepiece,
use the binocular tube to observe directly.
③ Numerical aperture of the condenser is said in the corresponding objective

9.Oiled observation
Labeled "oil" font object lens for oil immersion objective. When using the oil
objectives,they should be oiled by special microscope liquid between the lens and
cover glass. Make sure that the cap is tight after using the oil.The cap may be a little
loose after long-term use.So you should inspect the cap regularly to protect the oil
from spilling. Don't extrude container excessively, it may be the cause of oil
overflowing suddenly from the container. In the using process,please wipe the oil
on the container.

VIII. Maintenance and Storage
1 Clean all glass components by wiping gently with gauze. To remove fingerprints of
oil smudges, wipe with gauze slightly moistened with a mixture of ether (70%) and
alcohol (30%).
Since solvents such as ether and alcohol are highly flammable, they must be handled
carefully. Be sure to keep these chemicals always from open lames, or potential
sources of electrical sparks—for example, electrical equipment that is being switched
on or off. Also remember to always use these chemicals only in a well-ventilated
room.
2 Be sure to clean the oil immersion objective after use. Leaving immersion oil on it
will degrade its performance.
3 Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the non-optical components of
microscope. To clean them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted
neutral detergent.
4 Never attempt to disassemble any part of the microscope.
5 When not using the microscope, make sure to set the main switch to “O” (OFF),
conirm that the lamp housing is cool enough and cover the microscope with the
provided dust cover.
6 Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature
and humidity, dust or vibrations.
