ASSEMBLING STEPS
We always try to keep the number of assembly steps for their customers as low as possible but
in some cases there are some steps to be taken. The steps mentioned below are often not
necessary but described for your convenience nonetheless.
Mounting the objectives
1. Rotate the coarse focusing knob to lower the stage to its lowest position.
2. Install the objectives into the objective nosepiece from the lowest magnification to the highest
in a clockwise direction from the rear side of the microscope. When using the microscope, start
using the low magnification objective (4X to 10X) to search for specimen and focus, and then con
-
tinue with high magnification objective to observe.
The microscope head
The standard MT - 420 and MT - 430 series configuration are supplied with the head assembled.
However, if your order contains a fluorescence or metallurgical attachment then this should be
mounted first. There is a supplementary manual supplied with any intermediate attachment with
detailed mounting instructions.
Placing the eyepieces
1. Remove the cover of eyepiece tube.
2. Insert the eyepiece into the eyepiece tube.
3. Lock the eyepieces with a hexagon screw.
The eyeshades (optional)
The eyepieces can be equipped with optional rubber eyeshades. This prevents damage to the lens
and stray light. The eyeshade can simply be slipped over the eyepiece.
Connecting the power cord
The MT - 420 and MT - 430 Series microscopes supported a wide range of operating voltages: from
100 to 240V. Please use a grounded power connection.
1. Make sure the power switch is off before connecting.
2. Insert the connector of power cord into the microscope’s power socket and make
sure it connects well.
3. Insert the other connector into the main socket and make sure it connects well.
Do not bend or twist the power cord, it will get damaged. Use the power cord that is supplied.
If it is lost or damaged, choose one with the same specifications.
