Operation
The NiMH batteries of your microscope need to be charged. Plug in
the round pin adapter from the supplied battery charger (or a Ken-A-
Vision Multicharger SCGN06) into the back of your microscope. Connect
the opposite end to an electrical outlet. Charge the unit overnight
(approximately 12 hours or more) and your microscope is now ready for
up to 40 hours of continuous operation.
Power Switch
There is a separate power switch located at the right back side of
each base. On the T-1924C, the switch on each base is a double switch,
with the middle position being OFF. Depressing the right side of the
switch controls the bottom illuminator (sub-stage light), providing light
through the condenser for a standard microscope slide. Depressing the
left side switch turns on the supra-stage light for macro and opaque
objects.
Built-in Illuminator(s)
T-1922C - There is an in-base illuminator built into each base of the
microscope. Each has an independent rheostat control, which will
adjust the light intensity of the illuminator.
T-1924C - There are two illuminators built into to each of the microscope
bases, one is sub-stage and one is supra-stage. The supra-stage
illuminator is necessary for macro or opaque specimens where light
from the sub-stage illuminator can not come through. Only one of
these illuminators can be on at a time (not both), but both will change
their intensity by using the rheostat.
Abbé Condenser (T-1922C Model Only)
Found only on the T-1922C, the purpose of this condenser lens is to
focus the light. The Numerical Aperture (N.A.) of 1.25 allows the use of
the higher magnification of the 100x objective lens. Movement of the
condenser is controlled by a sub-stage black knob on the left side of the
condenser. The iris diaphragm is located in the Abbé condenser. It is
manipulated by sliding the small handle that protrudes from the
condenser to open and close the diaphragm.
Focus
Be sure the X-axis (in the middle of the Bridge Assembly) control
knob lever is in the "unlock" position, and while looking through the
eyepieces make sure the X-axis control knob is in the middle. Each
microscope works independently and must be focused independently.
