2.  UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLING THE MICROSCOPE 

2.1  Unpacking the Microscope 

The components for SMZ-161 stereomicroscopes are shipped integrative for protection. Open the 

styrofoam packing with care and do not leave any components attached to the packing being removed. 

Do not discard any of the packing materials until all of the components have been identified. If any 

damage occurs during transit, contact both the carrier and your supplier immediately. 

2.2  Assembling the Microscope 

2.2.1 

When handling the components, especially the optical parts, avoid touching any lens surfaces  

with bare hands or fingers as fingerprints and grease stains affect image quality. 

2.2.2 

After unpacking the stand, put it on a stable and flat table. Loosen the locking screw of the  

head holder, adjust the height of the head holder and lock the locking screw again. Make sure  

that the support collar is secured firmly below the head holder along the vertical post.  

This is important as this collar keeps the microscope from sliding down the column. 

2.2.3 

The head holder should rest on the support collar and both the head holder locking screw and  

the collar locking screw should be tightened.  

2.2.4 

Put the stereo body onto the head holder and lock it using the locking screw located on the  

right hand side of the head holder. To maintain the best stability, you are advised to lock the  

screw on the left hand side of the head holder as well. 

2.2.5  After removing the wrapping papers and packing materials around the eyepieces and other  

   optical 

parts 

(avoid 

touching 

the lens surfaces), carefully place the eyepieces into the eyepiece  

tubes and secure them using the locking screws. If necessary, loosen the locking screws before  

putting in the eyepieces. 

2.2.6 

Before turning on the power, plug the illumination power cord into the socket at the top of the  

column. Next, plug the power cord of the main frame into the local power supply. 

Note: before  

plugging in and turning on the power, make sure that the operation voltage of the  

microscope matches the voltage of the local power supply.
