Use of the S100x oil-immersion objective
The Euromex iScope range microscopes are equipped with an S100x N.A. 1.25 oil immersion
objective. Please follow these instructions for using this objective:
1.
Remove the dust protection from the revolving nosepiece to mount the S100x objective.
2.
Focus the image with the S40x objective.
3.
Turn the revolving nosepiece so the S100x objective almost reaches the click-stop.
4.
Put a small drop of immersion oil on the centre of the slide (always use Euromex
Immersion oil).
5.
Now turn the S100x objective so that you feel the click stop.
6.
The front lens is in contact with the immersion oil.
7.
Look through the eyepiece and focus the image with the fine adjustment knobs.
8.
The distance between the lens of the objective and the slide is very small !
9.
In case there are small bubbles visible turn the S100x objective a couple of times left/right
so that the front of the objective moves in the oil and the bubbles will disappear.
10.
After using the S100x objective turn the table with the fine adjustment knobs downwards
until the front lens doesn’t touch the oil any longer.
11.
Always clean the front lens of the S100x objective with a piece of lens paper that is
moistened with a drop of isopropanol. We recommend using Euromex lens paper
isopropanol.
12.
Clean the slide after use as well.
