Uputstva za postavljanje

Follow these steps to set up your EXC-350 microscope for initial use:

1. Unpack the Microscope: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Place the main microscope body on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight and vibrations.
2. Instalirajte Viewing Head: Gently place the trinocular viewing head onto the top of the microscope body. Secure it by tightening the set screw, if present, to prevent rotation.
3. Insert Eyepieces: Insert the WF 10x/20mm eyepieces into the eyepiece tubes of the viewing head. Ensure they are fully seated.
4. Attach Objectives: Screw the Infinity Plan Achromat objectives (4x, 10x, 40xR, 100xR oil) into the nosepiece in ascending order of magnification (e.g., 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x). Ensure they are securely tightened.
5. Priključite napajanje: Locate the power input port at the rear of the microscope. Connect the provided power cord to the microscope and then to a suitable 110v-240v AC power outlet.

Uputstvo za upotrebu

This section details the operation of your EXC-350 microscope for optimal viewing.

1. Power On and Illumination: Turn on the microscope using the power switch. Adjust the 3-watt LED illumination intensity using the variable control knob to achieve comfortable brightness for your sample.
2. Podesite Viewing Head: The trinocular Siedentopf head can be inclined 30° and rotated 360°. The eyepoint height can be adjusted by 180° rotation of the binocular tube to accommodate different users.
3. Set Interpupillary Distance: While looking through the eyepieces, adjust the interpupillary distance (50mm-75mm) until you see a single, clear circular field of view.
4. Podešavanje dioptrije: If your eyepieces have diopter adjustments, adjust them for individual eye focus. Typically, you focus with one eye (e.g., right eye) using the coarse and fine focus knobs, then adjust the diopter on the other eyepiece (e.g., left eye) until that eye is also in focus, without touching the main focus knobs.
5. Place Specimen: Place your prepared slide onto the mechanical stage, securing it with the stage clips. Use the X-Y movement knobs to position the specimen directly over the condenser's light path.
6. Select Objective: Rotate the rear-facing quintuple nosepiece to select the desired objective lens (e.g., 4x for initial scanning). Ensure the objective clicks firmly into place.
7. Fokusiranje: Use the coaxial focusing system. Begin with the coarse focus knob to bring the specimen into approximate focus. Then, use the fine focus knob for precise focusing. The upper limit stop prevents accidental damage to slides and objectives.
8. Condenser and Iris Diaphragm: Adjust the Abbe condenser (NA 1.25) using its rack and pinion mechanism to optimize illumination. Open or close the iris diaphragm to control contrast and resolution.
9. Light Path Selector: Use the two-position light path selector to direct light: 100% to eyepieces for observation, or 80% to eyepieces and 20% to the camera port for imaging.

Održavanje

Pravilno održavanje osigurava dugotrajnost i optimalne performanse vašeg mikroskopa.

• Čišćenje optike: Use only specialized lens cleaning paper and solution for objectives and eyepieces. For oil immersion objectives (100xR oil), clean off immersion oil immediately after use to prevent residue buildup.
• Zaštita od prašine: Always cover the microscope with the provided dust cover when not in use to protect it from dust and debris.
• Generalno čišćenje: Wipe the microscope body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• LED žarulja: The 3-watt LED bulb is rated for over 25,000 hours of continued use and typically does not require frequent replacement. If replacement is needed, consult a qualified technician or the manufacturer.
• Skladištenje: Store the microscope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Rješavanje problema

Ovaj odjeljak pruža rješenja za uobičajene probleme s kojima se možete susresti.

• Bez osvjetljenja:
  • Check if the power cord is securely connected to both the microscope and the power outlet.
  • Provjerite je li prekidač za napajanje u položaju "UKLJUČENO".
  • Verify the illumination intensity knob is turned up.
• Slika je mutna ili van fokusa:
  • Adjust the coarse and fine focus knobs.
  • Ensure the objective lens is fully clicked into position.
  • Check if the specimen slide is placed correctly on the stage.
