5. Uputstvo za upotrebu
5.1 Uključivanje/isključivanje
Locate the power switch on the microscope base. Flip the switch to the 'ON' position to power on the tungsten light. Flip it to 'OFF' when finished.
5.2 Adjusting Eyepieces
- Međuzjenička udaljenost: While looking through the eyepieces, adjust the distance between the two eyepiece tubes until you see a single, clear circular field of view.
- Dioptrijsko podešavanje: If one of your eyes has a different strength, use the diopter adjustment ring on one of the eyepieces to fine-tune the focus for that eye after focusing with the other eye.
5.3 Fokusiranje
Place your specimen on the work surface beneath the objective. Use the bilateral coarse focus knobs located on the microscope head to raise or lower the head until the specimen comes into sharp focus. The microscope offers a 6-inch vertical working distance.
5.4 Boom Arm and Head Rotation
The boom arm provides a 12-inch working distance and allows for extensive movement. Loosen the locking knobs on the boom arm to extend, retract, or rotate the arm. The microscope head can also be rotated on its X- and Y-axes for optimal viewing angles. Ensure all knobs are tightened after adjustment to secure the position.

5.5 Illumination
The 10W tungsten light provides incident (reflected) illumination. It is side-mounted and moves with the microscope head, ensuring consistent lighting on your specimen regardless of the head's position.
6. Održavanje
Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your microscope.
- Čišćenje sočiva: Use a soft, lint-free lens cleaning cloth and a specialized lens cleaning solution. Never use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Gently wipe the lens surfaces.
