4. Opstelinstruksies

4.1. Assembling the Boom Stand

1. Place the heavy base of the boom stand on a stable workbench.
2. Insert the vertical pillar into the base and secure it with the locking screw.
3. Attach the dual-arm assembly to the vertical pillar, ensuring all joints are secure but allow for movement.

4.2. Mounting the Microscope Head

1. Carefully remove the trinocular microscope head from its packaging.
2. Loosen the set screw on the microscope head holder of the boom stand.
3. Insert the microscope head into the holder and tighten the set screw to secure it. Ensure the head is level.
4. Insert the eyepieces into the two ocular tubes.

4.3. Connecting the LED Fiber-Optic Illuminator

1. Place the 30 Watt LED fiber-optic illuminator near the microscope.
2. Insert one end of the 22-inch metal-sheathed fiber-optic cable into the illuminator's output port.
3. Position the other end of the fiber-optic cable to direct light onto your specimen. The cable is flexible and can be bent as needed.

4.4. Kragverbinding

1. Connect the power adapter to the LED fiber-optic illuminator.
2. Steek die kragadapter in 'n geskikte elektriese aansluiting.

5. Bedryfsinstruksies

5.1. Powering On and Illumination Adjustment

1. Turn on the LED fiber-optic illuminator using its power switch.
2. Adjust the intensity of the light using the dimmer control on the illuminator.
3. Position the fiber-optic cable to provide optimal illumination for your specimen, minimizing shadows and glare.

5.2. Placing the Specimen

Place your specimen directly under the objective lens of the microscope head.

5.3. Verstel van vergroting

The microscope offers a 7X-45X continuous zoom magnification. Rotate the zoom knob located on the microscope head to change the magnification. Observe through the eyepieces as you adjust.

5.4. Fokus

1. While looking through the eyepieces, slowly rotate the coarse focus knob until the specimen comes into approximate focus.
2. Use the fine focus knob for precise focusing to achieve a sharp, clear image.
3. Adjust the interpupillary distance (distance between eyepieces) and diopter settings on the eyepieces for comfortable viewing and to compensate for differences in vision between your eyes.

5.5. Utilizing the Dual-Arm Boom Stand

The dual-arm boom stand allows for versatile positioning of the microscope head. You can move the head along three axes (X, Y, and Z) to view different areas of a large specimen or to position the microscope at various angles. Loosen the locking knobs on the stand, adjust the position, and then re-tighten them to secure the microscope.

5.6. Using the Trinocular Port (for Camera Integration)

The trinocular port allows for the attachment of a camera (sold separately) to capture images or video. To use this feature:

1. Remove the dust cap from the trinocular port.
2. Attach your compatible microscope camera to the port.
3. Refer to your camera's instruction manual for software installation and operation.
4. Adjust the light path selector (if present) to direct light to the trinocular port for imaging.

6. Onderhoud

6.1. Cleaning Optics

• Use a soft brush or air blower to remove dust from lens surfaces.
• For smudges or fingerprints, use a lens cleaning solution and specialized lens paper or microfiber cloth. Apply solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Clean eyepieces and objective lenses gently in a circular motion from the center outwards.

6.2. Algemene skoonmaak

• Wipe the microscope body and stand with a soft, damp lap. Vermy harde chemikalieë of skuurmiddels.
• Ensure all moving parts of the boom stand are free of dust and debris.

6.3. Berging

• When not in use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover to protect it from dust and environmental contaminants.
• Store the microscope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and vibrations.
