4 World Precision Instruments

Setup

1. Remove the microscope from the case and check that the following parts are all

present and undamaged:

• Microscope and Base

• WFH 10x Wide-Field Eyepieces (two)

• Paired Eyeguards (two)

• Stage Plate

• Instruction Manual

2. Unscrew the protective cap on the bottom of the microscope head.

3. Refer to the “Instrument Description” on page 3 and follow the set-up

instructions below.

4. Loosen the securing knob to place the microscope at approximately the

working distance.

5. The exact working distance is found by adjusting the focusing knob.

6. Install the WFH 10x eyepiece pair, included. Then, attach the paired eyeguards

to the eyepieces.

7. When the optional stands are used instead of the standard base, see the

“System Diagram” on page 5 for mounting instructions.

8. The Precision Zoom Stereo Microscope is now ready for normal operation.

Adusting a Microscope

These instructions describe how to properly focus a binocular microscope.

1. Turn on the lamp and adjust its intensity.

2. Set theoth eye piece diopters to zero.

3. Adjust the interpupilary distance so that the two circles of light merge into one.

4. Place a sample on the stage.

5. Select the 1.0 dial setting and look through the right eyepiece only.

6. Use the focus control knobs to adjust the focus of the sample.

7. When the sample is clearly visible, use only your left eye. Do NOT adjust the

focus knobs. Instead, adjust the diopter on the left eyepiece until the sample

comes clearly into view. The image should be clear with both eyes open.

8. Choose the desired zoom range. You may need to adjust the ﬁne focus a little.

TIP: For information on microscope basics, understanding objectives, choosing a
