1.  Although this stereomicroscope comes parafocalled, the focus has to be adjusted owing to the 

greater depth of field offered by those objectives of lower magnification. Depth of field is the 
capacity to focus on distinct points, on distinct levels.  

 

2.  Once the image with objectives of higher magnification is brought into focus, it is not necessary 

to re-focus with those of a lower magnification level.

Maintenance 

 

WARNING:

  FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY SWITCH OFF AND DISCONNECT THE MICROSCOPE FROM 

ANY ELECTRICAL SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE TO AVOID THE 
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION.  
CONSULT YOUR DISTRIBUTOR IF ANY REPAIR, OR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE IS REQUIRED TO 
YOUR MICROSCOPE THAT DOES NOT APPEAR IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. 
 

 

A.  Optical maintenance. 
 

Do not attempt to disassemble any optical component. For any repair work not specified in this manual, 
consult the technical service responsible in your area.  

 

Before cleaning the lens surface, remove dust with a brush specifically for lenses, or with low pressure 
compressed air, found in any photography shop.  

 
 

1.  Cleaning the eyepiece. 

 

a.  Do not remove the eyepiece (1) from the eyepiece tube (3). 

 

b.  Clean the external surface, dampening the lens with breath. 

 

c.  Afterwards, dry the lens with special lens paper. Dry in circular movements from the centre o 

the lens, outwards. Do not wipe the lens when already dry, as they scratch easily.   

 

2.  Cleaning the objectives. 

 

a.  Do not remove objectives from the microscope. 

 

b.  Only clean the surface area. Use a soft cotton cloth dampened slightly with Xylene. Dry the 

lens afterwards with the same cloth.
