We are constantly endeavouring to improve our instruments and to adapt them to the requirements of
modern research techniques and testing methods. This involves modification to the mechanical
structure and optical design of our instruments.

Therefore, all descriptions and illustrations in this instruction manual, including all specifications are
subject to change without notice.

 Infinity corrected optics

In this optical concept the light beams are parallel after leaving the objective in the direction of the
eyepieces. A second optical element, the tube lens (normally located in the eyepiece tube) is used to
converge the parallel beams, resulting in an intermediate image. The intermediate image is focussed by
the eyepieces, to provide the real image for visual observation.
The implementation of a tube lens gives the opportunity to minimize chromatic aberrations and other
“optical defects”. Further, in “Infinity Optics” the distance between the objective and tube lens is not as
strictly fixed as in the (historically older) “Finite Optics” of 160mm tube length.
This allows additional optical components to be inserted between the objective and tube head.
Fluorescence attachments, discussion bridges, eye level risers and other options can be added without
affecting the image quality.
In general “Infinity Optics” provides flexibility and the opportunity to add additional optional features.

For x-axis to (+) increase or (-) decrease the torque,
turn Knob X while holding B

3.4 Specimen holder

 Attach the specimen holder, using the two mounting holes. If the stage is to be used with right
right-hand controls, attach the specimen holder to the left-hand holes and similarly, with left-hand
controls to the right-hand holes.

3.5 Objectives
 Lower the stage completely. Screw the objectives into the revolving nosepiece so that clockwise
rotation of the nosepiece brings the next higher magnification objective into position.

12
3.6 Condenser
 Raise the stage by turning the coarse focus knob.
 Completely lower the condenser carrier by turning the condenser focus knob.
 Insert the condenser into the dovetail mount with aperture scale facing to the user.

 4. Usage of microscope components

4.1 Coarse and fine focusing (Fig.5)

 Focusing is carried out with the coarse and fine focus knobs at the left and right of the microscope
stand.
 The direction of vertical movement of the stage corresponds to the turning direction of the focus
knobs.
 One rotation of the fine focus knob moves the stage 0.1mm. The graduation on the fine focus knob
is 1 micron.

Fig.5

Never attempt either of the following actions, since doing so will damage the focusing
mechanism:
 Rotate the left and right knob while holding the other.
 Turning the coarse and fine focus knobs further than their limit.

4.2 Coarse focus torque adjustment (Fig.6)

To increase the torque, turn the torque adjustment
ring located behind the left-hand coarse focus knob
in the direction indicated by the arrow. To reduce
the torque, turn the ring in the direction opposite to
that indicated by the arrow.

Fig.6

16
4.3 Coarse Focus Quick Stop (Fig.7)
 The coarse focus quick stop serves as a quick accessible possibility for the user to limit the upper
focus position in order to prevent a collision of the Objective with the specimen.
 Focus on the specimen using the lowest power objective and the coarse focus knob.
Rotate the highest power objective into place. Carefully turn the coarse focus knob raising the
specimen until it is just out of focus, but the slide cover slip does not touch the highest power
objective.
Simply turn the lever in clockwise direction as shown in the picture below and lock the actual
position as upper limit.
 To loosen the upper limit, just turn the lever in the opposite direction

Fig.7

4.4 Stage Upper Limit Stop adjustment: (Fig.8)

(Upper Stage Limit is preset at the factory; please only adjust if necessary)
 The Stage Upper Limit stop marks the stage position at which the specimen is in focus i.e. by
restricting the movement of the coarse focus knob.
 With the specimen in focus, turn the stage upper limit
stop knurled ring clockwise until it reaches the stop.
 When the stage upper limit stop is in position, the
Stage cannot be raised from that position.
However, the fine focus knob can move the stage
regardless of the limit but will only lower the stage.
 Lower the stage by using the coarse focus knob
anticlockwise

Fig.8

17
4.5 Using Thicker Samples
 Loose the screw (Fig.9a)
 Lower down the stage (Fig.9b)
 If the travel range is not enough for using, please remove the collector cover.

Fig.9a Fig.9b

4.6 Beam Splitter Lever (Fig.10)

 When the beam splitter lever is pushed in, 100% of the light will enter the eyepieces.
When pulled out, the light beam will be divided as follows:
 80:20 (visual: photo; standard tube) 0:100 (visual: photo; tube for low light situations, optional tube)
 The triple position tube (optional) is the most flexible tube by giving 2 photo positions:
 80:20 (visual: photo; for simultaneous observation by eyepiece and camera)
0:100 (visual: photo; for low light situations, e.g. fluorescence)

Fig.10

18
4.7 Interpupillary distance adjustment (Fig.11)
 Before adjusting the interpupillary distance, bring a
specimen into focus using the 10x objective.
 Adjust the interpupillary distance so that both the
right and left field of view become one.
 This adjustment will enable the user to observe
the specimen with both eyes

Fig.11

 Eyepiece tubes can be swivelled up or down to adjust the viewing height to suit individual
preference of comfort viewing. The eye height can be increased by 62mm (Fig.12)

Fig.12

4.8 Diopter adjustment (Fig.13)

 Every human eye is different, to adjust the Instrument to best performance adjustment can be
necessary.
 Set the diopter on both eyepieces to the “0” position.
 Change to 10x Magnification and focus the image of the specimen with one eye only.
 Use the Eye which is most convenient for first focussing.

19
 When the best focus position is reached, close this eye and use the other eye for the
following steps.
 Correct the focus for the second eye by using only the Diopter Ring, do not use the coarse / fine
focusing knob!
 Change to a higher magnification to verify the result
and if necessary repeat the procedure to match the
sharpness for higher magnification.
 Keep this final diopter position for all magnification /
lenses. The diopter position for each user can be
recorded from the scale, so it can easily be reset.

Fig.13
4.9 Centering the condenser (Fig.14)
 Fully open the field of view diaphragm and condenser aperture diaphragm.
 Set the specimen on the stage with the cover glass facing up.
 Bring the specimen image into focus, using the 10x objective.
 Turn the condenser focus knob to bring the field diaphragm image into focus on the
specimen plane.
 Adjust the condenser by using the condenser centering screws.
 Adjust the field diaphragm so that it is just outside the field of view for each magnification change.

Fig.14

20
4.10 Use of aperture diaphragm
 The condenser aperture diaphragm is provided for adjusting the numerical aperture (N.A.) of the
illuminating system of the microscope, it decides the resolution of the image, contrast, depth of
focus and brightness.
 Stopping down will lower the resolution and brightness but increase the contrast and depth of
focus.
 An image with appropriate contrast in most cases can be obtained with an aperture diaphragm
closed down to 2/3 of the maximum value.
 To adjust the aperture diaphragm:
- adjust the condenser aperture diaphragm ring referring to the condenser aperture scale, or
- by observing the diaphragm image visible on the exit pupil inside the eyepiece tube, or
- by using a centering telescope after removing one of the eyepieces and focusing on the
aperture diaphragm.
 When swinging-out the top lens of the condenser for low magnification objectives, open the
condenser aperture diaphragm completely.

4.11 Use of field diaphragm (Fig.15)

 The field diaphragm determines the illuminated area on the specimen. For normal observation, the
diaphragm is set slightly larger than the field of view. If the illuminated area is set much larger than
the field of view extraneous light will enter the field of view. This will create a flare in the image and
lower the contrast.
 In case the image of the field diaphragm cannot be centered due to thick glass slides or chambers
with thick bottoms, a long working distance condenser is available for correct Koehler illumination.
 The diaphragm does not have any effect when the condenser top lens is swung out of the optical
path. Fully open the field diaphragm, as the N.A. of the illuminating system will be reduced if the
diaphragm is excessively stopped down.

Fig.15

21
4.12 Brightness and contrast adjustment
 Neutral density filters are used for brightness adjustment in routine microscopy and
photomicrography.
 For phase contrast and contrast adjustment with black and white film, a Green interference filter
(546nm) is recommended.
 An HE (didymium) filter for colour photomicrography, Haematoxylin, Eosin (HE) or Fuchsin stained
specimen with tungsten type film is available.

4.13.IR function
 Push the button (Fig.16), the blue pilot lamp indicates
that an IR-sensor is activated. If nouser is detected in
front of the microscope, the microscope illumination
will automatically switch off after 15 minutes.
When the user returns, the illumination will start again.

Fig.16

4.14 Auto light intensity reproduction (Fig.17)

 Rotate the desired Objective into the light path by turning the nosepiece on it knurled collar and
adjust Intensity according to the actual slide sample. After 10 seconds of constant illumination, the
system will store this brightness value as setting and it will repeat this illumination setting once
same Nosepiece position with Objective will be rotated into the light beam again.
 Manual changes to this setting are possible every
moment of time, once the new illumination brightness
will be constant for 10s again, it will override the
last setting
 Repeat procedure according above procedure for all
installed nosepiece positions

Fig.17

22
4.15 Filters cassette
 Loose out the base plate screws and open the base plate (Fig.18a and Fig.18b)
 Move out the filter cassette cover (Fig.18c)
 Insert the filter cassette in the stand (Fig.18d and Fig.18e)
 Insert the filter slider in the filter cassette (Fig.18f)

5. Photomicrographic procedure

 To ensure vibration free operation, set the microscope on a sturdy vibration free table or a bench
with a vibration proof device.
 Pull the optical path selection lever of the trinocular eyepiece tube all of the way out to the limit.
 To ensure optimal illumination, check the position and centring of the lamp and position of
the condenser.
 Select a blue filter for routine application. An additional colour-compensating filter can also be
used depending on the colour rendition.
 Adjusting the field diaphragm is important for the purpose of limiting extraneous light that may
cause flare and lower the contrast. Stop down the diaphragm to achieve an illuminated area
slightly larger than that of the field of view.
 A change in depth of focus, contrast and resolution of the image is attainable with an aperture
setting of 2/3 of the maximum diaphragm diameter.
Fine setting of the condenser aperture varies with the individual sample.
 For specific photomicrographic procedures, refer to the manual of the specific camera being used.

24
 6. Using oil immersion objective

 Oil immersion objectives are labelled with the additional engraving “Oil” and are to be immersed in
oil between the specimen and the front of the objective.
 The immersion oil supplied by Motic is synthetic, non-fluorescing and non-resining oil, with a
refractive index of 1.515
 Normally, cover glass must be used with oil immersion objectives with a few exceptions.
Deviations
from thickness are not important as a layer of immersion oil acts as compensation above the
cover glass.
 The small bottle of oil supplied with every immersion objective facilitates application of the oil to
the cover slip.
 Remove any air bubbles in the nozzle of the oil container before use.
 Immersion oil must be used sparingly. After the examination, the oil should be wiped off the
objective with a lens cleaning tissue and the residual film removed with soft cloth moistened with
petroleum benzene or absolute alcohol.
 Locate the field of interest with a lower magnification objective. Swing the objective out of the light
path, and add one drop of immersion oil over the site of the specimen.
Swing in the oil immersion objective. There should be a small column of oil from the cover slip to
the objective lens. Use the fine focus to make the image sharp.
 Freedom from air bubbles must be ensured. To check for air bubbles, remove an eyepiece, fully
open the field and aperture diaphragms, and look at the exit pupil of the objective within the
eyepiece tube. Air bubbles are recognized by a surrounding black ring. Bubbles may often be
dislodged by moving the slide to and fro or by slightly rocking the revolving nosepiece back and
forth. If not successful in clearing the bubbles then the oil must be wiped off and replaced with a
fresh drop.

 8. Care and maintenance

8.1. Do not disassemble

a. Disassembly may significantly effect the performance of the instrument, and may result in electric
shock or injury and will void the terms of the warranty.
b. Never attempt to dismantle any parts other than described in this manual. If you notice any
malfunction, contact your nearest Motic representative.

8.2 Cleaning the Microscope

a. Lenses and filters
 To clean lens surfaces or filters, first remove dust using an air blower. If dust still persists, use a
soft / clean brush or gauze.
 A soft gauze or lens tissue lightly moistened with the mixture of alcohol and ether
( ratio: alcohol: 3 and ether: 7) should be used to remove grease or fingerprints.
 Use only a mixture of alcohol and ether ( ratio: alcohol: 3 and ether: 7) to remove immersion oil
from objective lenses.
 Because the mixture of alcohol and ether ( ratio: alcohol: 3 and ether: 7) is highly flammable, be
careful handling around open flame.
 Do not use same area of gauze or lens tissue to wipe more than once.

b. Cleaning of painted or plastic components

 Do not use organic solvents (thinners, alcohol, ether, etc.). Doing so could result in discolouration
or in the peeling of paint.
 For stubborn dirt, moisten a piece of gauze with diluted detergent and wipe clean.
 For plastic components, only moisten a piece of gauze with water and wipe clean.

8.3 Disinfecting the Microscope

 Follow the standard procedures for your laboratory.

8.4 When not in use

 When not in use, cover the instrument with vinyl dust cover and store in a place low in humidity
where mould is not likely to form.
 Store the objectives, eyepieces and filters in a container or desiccator with drying agent.
 Proper handling of the microscope will ensure years of trouble free service.
 If repair becomes necessary, please contact your Motic agency or our Technical Service direct.
Note:
 If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the warranty may be void.
 To avoid getting wet, do not use the microscope near water.

 Loosen the lamp housing cover clamp screw (Fig.21a) and remove the cover (Fig.21b).
 When installing the bulb, do not touch the glass surface of the bulb with bare fingers. (Fig.21c)
Doing so will cause fingerprints, grease, etc., to burn onto the bulb surface, reducing the
illumination provided by the bulb. If the surface is contaminated, wipe it clean using lens tissue.
 Firmly insert the bulb into the socket pinholes until it reaches the limit. Be careful not to tilt the bulb
when mounting.
 Close the cover and secure with it with lamp housing cover clamp screw. (Fig.21d)
