on the computer screen. 

 

If necessary, re-adjust the brightness and 
contrast using the iris diaphragm and the va-
riable illumination control. 

 

Adjust the sharpness of the image by means 
of the focusing knobs of the microscope. 

 

If necessary, adjust the settings of the ca-
mera in the video window according to the 
particular requirements. 

 

For further work using the software, see the

4.4  Changing the lamp and fuse 

4.4.1 Changing the lamp 

 

Turn off the power switch, unplug the mains 
plug and let the lamp cool down to avoid be-

For safety reasons, remove the eyepiece. 

 

To change the lamp lay the microscope on 
its back to reach the lid on the bottom side. 

 

Loosen screw A and open the cover. 

 

To remove the halogen lamp, use a cloth or 
similar material. Do not touch the bulb with

5. Storage, cleaning and disposal 

 

Keep the microscope in a clean, dry and 
dust free place. 

 

When not in use always cover the micro-
scope with the dust cover. 

 

Do not expose it to temperatures below 0°C 
and above 40°C and a max. relative humid-
ity of over 85%. 

 

Always unplug the mains plug before clean-
ing or maintenance. 

 

Do not clean the unit with volatile solvents or 
abrasive cleaners. 

 

Do not disassemble objective or eyepieces 
to attempt to clean them. 

 

Use a soft linen cloth and some ethanol to 
clean the microscope.  

 

Use a soft lens tissue to clean the optics. 

 

The packaging should 
be disposed of at local 
recycling points. 

 

Should you need to 
dispose of the equip-
ment itself, never throw 
it away in normal do-
mestic waste. Local 
regulations for the dis-
posal of electrical 
equipment will apply.
