USING YOUR SILVERLINE MICROSCOPE
MAGNIFICATION
The SILVER3H comes with silver 4X, 10X and 40X objectives (for microscopic use only) and
a black 1X objective (for macroscopic use only). The objective magnifications shown in the
magnification window are color coded to correspond to the stage position icons on the side
of the arm. Micro magnifications are written in blue to coordinate with the blue micro mode
stage position. The 1X macro magnification is written in red to coordinate with the two macro
mode stage positions.
STAGE SELECTIONS
SPECIMEN CUP:
A container used for collecting and viewing specimens at a macroscopic
level. This container has adequate depth and has a ventilated optically clear lid for use with
a variety of specimens.
CONTRAST PLATE:
Offers a black or white viewing background.
STAGE PLATE:
The microscopic stage with a built-in 0.65 N.A. condenser, iris diaphragm,
stage clips and swing out white filter.
STAGE POSITION ADJUSTMENT
Proper stage height is critical for achieving the correct focusing distance for viewing micro or
macro specimens. The stage can be set at 3 levels:
MICROSCOPIC -
Uppermost stage position (Stage plate must be placed in the stage ring).
MACROSCOPIC -
Middle stage position (Specimen cup must be placed in the stage ring).
MACROSCOPIC -
Lowermost stage position (Black/white contrast plate must be placed in
the stage ring).
For proper stage ring adjustment, loosen the stage position thumbscrew to raise or lower the
stage ring housing to line up with the desired stage position indicator marks. Tighten the
thumbscrew to secure the stage assembly in place. The macro indicator marks are the
suggested positions for viewing most macro specimens. The macro stage ring positions may
have to be adjusted slightly to find the best working distance for unusual sized specimens.T
