II. Operation
1. With the stage toward you, rotate head into viewing position.

2. Plug power cord into electrical socket.

3. Turn microscope on with brightness control dial.

4. Place slide on stage (cover slip facing up) and secure it with slide holder.

5. Move specimen into light path with X/Y travel knobs.

6. Rotate to 10x objective

7. Adjust light intensity until it is at a comfortable setting for your eyes

8. Rotate eyepieces to set interpupillary distance so that the right and left images merge
into one.

9. Focus on image with coarse and then fine focus knobs.

10. Select a good viewing area using X/Y travel knobs.

11. Holdmilled ring on eyepiece stationary.

12. Rotate eyepieces until end surfaces are on white line or “0”.

13. Refocus with fine adjustment knob.

14. Check focus on next highest magnification (40x).

15. Return to lowest magnification (4x).

16. Hold milled ring on eyepiece stationary.

17. Rotate eyepieces to adjust for diopter difference (focusing difference between eyes),

Ill. Koehler illumination
Koehler illumination is a process which provides optimum contrast and resolution by focusing and centering
the light path and spreading the light evenly over the field of view.

Rotate to 10x objective.

Close condenser aperture diaphragm by turning the condenser control ring to the right.

Raise condenser with condenser focus knob.

Close the field diaphragm to its smallest opening with the field diaphragm control ring.

Focus the field diaphragm image with the condenser focus knob until the edges of the
octagonal image are sharp and have a reddish pink tinge

Center the field diaphragm image with the condenser centering screws. This centers
the light path onto the specimen plane.

Switch to desired objective.

Enlarge field diaphragm image toward edge of the field of view with the field diaphragm
control ring.

Recenter the field diaphragm image.

10. Further enlarge the field diaphragm image until it is just outside the field of view. This
provides enough light to fully and evenly cover the observation area.

11. Remove the right eyepiece and look down the eyepiece tube. The circular beam of
light is the image of the condenser.

12. Adjust the condenser diaphragm with the condenser diaphragm control ring until the
beam fills 3/4 of the tube (1/4 of the area of the tube will be dark and 3/4 will be light).
This provides optimum contrast and resolution.

1/4 dark
13. Replace eyepiece.
3/4 light
14. Adjust light intensity with the brightness control dial.
IV. Oil immersion
Oil should never come in contact with the dry lenses such as the 4x, 10x or 40x objectives or be placed on
the slide until the viewing area has been chosen.

Rotate to 10x objective.

Select viewing area.

Rotate 10x out of light path.

Place drop of immersion oil above beam of light.

Watching from the side of microscope, rotate to the oil immersion objective. Do not
allow dry objectives to pass through the oil.

Adjust the fine focus.

If necessary, center and focus the field diaphragm image.

Enlarge field diaphragm image.

Remove eyepiece.

10. Adjust condenser diaphragm to fill 3/4 the tube.

11. Replace eyepiece.

12. Adjust light intensity. More light is required at higher magnifications.

13. Observe specimen.

14. After you are finished, clean lens and slide. Remove excess oil by blotting with clean
lens paper. Continue cleaning with 1-3 drops methanol. Start from center of lens and
move in a circular motion towards outside of the lens. Gently blot the lens dry. Never
rub the lens because of foreign particles possibly being present.
V. Preventive maintenance

To replace bulb:
1. Turn off and unplug microscope prior to replacing bulb. Pull lamp socket out of the
microscope base and remove the old bulb from its socket.

2. Do not handle new bulb with fingers. Use the protective packet and place the bulb
pins directly into the socket. Insert socket into the base.

To clean optics:
3. Dust eyepieces, condenser, field lens and filters often with a camel's hair brush or
bursts of air. Clean the eyepieces and objectives with lens paper only when
finger prints or smudges appear or when dusting does not seem to correct a problem.

4. Clean the oil immersion lens at the end of each day's use with lens paper and
periodically with methanol or lens cleaning solution.

5. If objectives get immersion oil or other fluids on them clean immediately. First slot
the lens with clean lens paper to remove fluid. Dampen lens paper with 1-3 drops of
methanol and use the procedure described in the oil immersion section. Finally blot
the lens dry.

To inspect objectives:
y 6. Carefully unscrew the objective from its socket, keeping one hand underneath the
objective to prevent it from falling. Remove one eyepiece and invert it; it then becomes
sk a high powered magnifying glass. Aim it toward the lens at a 45 degree angle until the
Z ς image of the lens is in focus. A clean lens should sparkle.

7. Use xylene to remove stubborn smudges. Moisten a cotton tipped swab in xylene and
apply sparingly to the optic in a circular motion. Use extreme caution with xylene
because it can soften the lens cement and cause severe damage.

To store microscope:
8. Keep microscope covered or placed in its protective case when not in use.

To carry microscope:
9. Carry the microscope with one hand on the arm and the other supporting the base.
VI. Trouble shooting
Problem Probable cause Corrective action
FOCUSING
Won't focus on 40x or higher Specimen slide upside down Turn glass slide over so that the
magnification coverslip faces up

Bulb not inserted properly Insert bulb correctly

Situation not covered above Call for repair

Too bright Light turned up too high Adjust brightness

MISCELLANEOUS
Eyestrain Illumination of field too intense Reduce light intensity

Eyepieces not focused for each eye Repeat “Operation” steps 11-17

Floating spots “Debris” in the vitreous humor of the retina; Taking a break & resting will often help
noticeable at high magnifications

Field diaphragm noncenterable Substage condenser seated improperly in condenser Loosen condenser clamp screw and
carrier reseat condenser
Bubbles or dark wave passes Air bubbles in oil; contact between oil immersion Clean slide and/or add more oil
across the field of view when objective and oil “broken”
using immersion oil

power, whereby the best image is obtained.
The Swing-out Achromat and Achromat/
aplanat condensers, however, have a graduation
indicating the numerical apertures (N.A.), and
not the diameters of diaphragm opening.
Manipulation of these condensers is the same as
that of the Abbe condenser. Stopping down the
aperture diaphragm too far will deteriorate the
image quality of microscope due to diffraction
of light. Therefore, it is not recommended to
stop down the aperture to a size smaller than
60% of the N.A. of the objective in use except
when observing almost transparent specimen.
6) Use of field diaphragm
The field diaphragm is used for determining the
illuminated area on the specimen surface in
relation to the field of view of the microscope.
Generally, it is stopped down to such an extent
that the circumference of the illuminated area
circumscribes or inscribes that of the eyepiece
field of view. If the former be larger than the
latter, extraneous light will enter the field of
view, causing flare in the image and lowering
the contrast. Therefore, especially in photo-
micrography, the proper adjustment of the field
diaphragm is very important. Generally, good
results will be achieved when the diaphragm is
stopped down to such an extent that the dia-
meter of illuminated area is slightly larger than
the diagonal of film format.

7) Focusing
The relation between the direction of rotation
of the focus knobs and that of vertical move-
ment of the stage is as indicated in Fig. 14.
One rotation of the fine focus knob moves the
stage 0.2mm.
The graduation on this focus knob is divided

3) Diopter Adjustment
(Before adjusting the diopter, implement MICROSCOPY procedures
1) to 11) and focus on the specimen with the 10X objective.)
Make diopter adjustments for both the right and left eyepieces
(1) Turn the diopter compensation rings on each eyepiece until the end
surface of the ring coincides with the engraved line
(This is the position of O dioptic compensation.) (Fig. 7-1)
(2) Swing the 40X objective by turning the revolving nosepiece and
bring the specimen image into focus by turning the fine focus knob
(or the coarse focus knob).
(3) Swing the 4X or 10X objective into position. Without manipulating
the fine and coarse focus knobs, turn the diopter rings on the
eyepieces so that the specimen images in the right and left
eyepieces are focused individually (Fig. 7-2)

@ Repeat the above procedure two times, to adjust the diopter
perfectly.
© The above adjustment, compensating diopter difference between
the user's right and left eyes, will keep the tube length of the
microscope correct. This enables the user to take full advantage of
the high-quality objectives, including their parfocality.

4) Interpupillary Distance Adjustment


(Before adjusting the interpupillary distance, implement Microscopy
procedure 1) to 12) and focus on the specimen with the 10X
objective.)
Adjust the interpupillary distance, so that both the right and left
viewfields become one (Fig. 8)
This adjustment will enable the user to observe with both eyes.

5) Centering the Condenser Lens


(Before focusing and centering the condenser lens, implement
Microscopy procedure from 1) to 13) and focus on the specimen with
the 10X objective.)
(1) Close the field diaphragm to its smallest size by manipulating the
field diaphragm control ring. Rotate the condenser focus knob to
move the condenser vertically so that a sharp image of the field
diaphragm is formed on the specimen surface (Fig. 9-1,2 and 3).

Image of field diaphragm

Eyepiece viewfield stop


Fig.9-1 Fig.9-2 Fig. 9-3
(2) If the image decenters from the viewfield of the eyepiece, bring it
roughly to the center of the viewfield by means of the condenser
centering screws (Fig. 10-1 and 2).
(3) Change to the 40X objective. Focus on the specimen by turning
the fine focus knob and form an image of the field diaphragm on
the specimen surface by manipulating the condenser focus knob
(4) When the image decenters from the viewfield of the eyepiece, bring
it to the center of the viewfield by means of the condenser centering
screws. At this time, the centering will be facilitated by adjusting
the size of the image of the field diaphragm to be slightly smaller
than the viewfield of the eyepiece by manipulating the viewfield
diaphragm control ring (Fig. 10-3).

Eyepiece viewfield stop

V. MANIPULATION OF EACH ELEMENT

6) Use of Field Diaphragm


The field diaphragm is used for determining the illuminated area on
the specimen. The size of the diaphragm is adjusted by manipulating
the field diaphragm control ring. Stopping down the diaphragm to
such an extent that the circumference of the illuminated area
circumscribes or inscribes that of the eyepiece field of view is
recommended for general microscopy. If a wider area than required
is illuminated, extraneous light will enter the field of view, causing flare
in the image and lowering the contrast. Therefore, especially in
photomicrography, the proper adjustment of the field diaphragm is
very important. Generally, good results will be achieved when the
diaphragm is stopped down to such an extent that the diameter of the
illuminated area is slightly larger than the diagonal of the film format.

7) Use of Condenser Aperture Diaphragm


The condenser aperture diaphragm is provided for adjusting the
numerical aperture (N.A.) of the illuminating system of the
microscope. Itis important because it determines the resolution of the
image, contrast, depth of focus, and brightness.
Stopping down the aperture diaphragm will lower the resolution and
brightness but increase the contrast and depth of focus. In general,
when it is stopped down to 70% to 80% of the numerical aperture
of the objective, a good image of appropriate contrast will be
obtained (Fig. 11)
To adjust the size of the condenser aperture diaphragm, manipulate
the diaphragm control ring referring to the condenser’s N.A. scale,
or after removing the eyepiece from the eyepiece tube, adjust the size
of the diaphragm, observing the image of the diaphragm that is
visible on the bright circle of the exit pupil on the inside of the objective.
Stopping down the aperture diaphragm too far will lower the
resolving power. Therefore, it is recommended not to stop down the
aperture to a size smaller than 60% of the N.A. of the objective in
use, except when observing almost transparent specimens

8) Use of Filters
(1) ND filter cassette (Optional)
Accessory filters attached to the optional ND filter cassette are ND2,
ND4, and ND16. These are used for general microscopy and
brightness control in photomicrography.

| Np2 Reduce light to 1/2 Transmission rate=about 50%


| Np4 Reduce light to 1/4 Transmission rate=about 25%
ND16 Reduce light to 1/16 Transmission rate=about 6%

e Light is reduced to 1/8 when the ND2 and NDA filters are put into
the optical path and is reduced to 1/64 when ND4 and ND16 filters
are put into the optical path. Light can be reduced from 1/2 to 1/
128 depending on the combination of the filters.
e Securely change the filter insertion /removal knob.
Removing and mounting the ND filters
Use gloves or gauze so as not to touch the filters with your bare
hands.
To remove the ND filter, lay soft cloth such as gauze on a desk.
Place the ND filter cassette on it and spread the lever (Fig. 12).
To mount the filter, insert the filter obliquely in the opposite side of
the lever and spread the lever from the lower side
Any filters with an outer diameter of 45mm and thickness less than
3mm can be mounted in the ND filter cassette. The indication on
the filter insertion Z removal knob, however, can't be changed

Fig. 12
WV. MANIPULATION OF EACH ELEMENT

Transparent Cover
Mount the transparent cover to protect the filters from dust (Fig. 13-1).
When the ND filter cassette is removed, attach the transparent cover
on the field lens (Fig. 13-2). However, remove the cover during
observation or photomicrographing with the viewfield diaphragm
stopped down.

Fig. 13-1

(2) Filter receptacle


Filters with an outer diameter of 45mm can be placed on the filter
receptacle of the field diaphragm part. If the thickness of the filter
is less than 4.5mm, ND filter cassette can be mounted with the filter
placed on the filter receptacle.
Therefore, less frequently changed filters such as shown in the table
below are conveniently used placing them on the filter receptacle.

9) Oil Immersion Manipulation


The objectives with the indication “oil” are to be immersed in oil
between the specimen and the front lens of the objective. Use only
the included oil. When using an oil immersion objective of numerical
aperture 1.0 or larger, it is recommended to use an oil immersion
type achromat/aplanat condenser to make full use of it's efficiency
For this type of condenser, apply oil between the specimen and the
condenser lens
Apply the minimum amount necessary (the quantity that fills the
gap between the front of the objective and the specimen, or
between the front of the condenser lens and the specimen) to avoid
a flow of excessive oil that will adhere to the stage and the
circumference of the condenser lens.
To see if air bubbles are present in the immersion oil, which
deteriorate the image quality, pull out the eyepiece from the
eyepiece tube. Fully open the viewfield diaphragm and the
aperture diaphragm to examine the objective exit pupil (bright
circle) inside the tube.
To remove air bubbles, slightly rotate the nosepiece several times
(or turn the condenser focus knob to move it slightly up and
down), or apply additional oil, or replace the oil.
Any remnant of oil left on the oil immersion objective or adhesion
of oil to the front of the dry system objective will deteriorate the
image quality. Clean off the oil after using it and make sure that
the oil did not adhere to the front of other objectives.
The oil for the condenser lens should also be cleaned off after use
To clean off the oil, wipe with lens tissue or a soft cloth, moistened
with xylene, lightly two or three times over the lens. It is essential
at this time to avoid touching the lens with a part of tissue or cloth
already used.
