Do not let the lens element come into contact with a wet slide surface, as prolonged
contact with any moisture could damage the lens. If lens is exposed to moisture, promptly
wipe with lens paper/microfiber cloth to remove moisture.

Diopter adjustment for HS1+1 dual head model.
These dual head models have a 30 degree inclined eyepiece to provide comfortable viewing for
the primary viewer. They also have a vertical eyepiece so that a second viewer can observe the
image simultaneously. The primary viewer will have focused the microscope using the coarse and
fine focus knobs. To compensate for differences in vision between primary and second viewer,
second viewer may have to adjust image in vertical eyepiece by turning the knurled diopter
adjustment.

Camera adaptation for model HS1-D
The video camera will be mounted on the vertical eyepiece tube, using the adapter you were
provided with. You will need to pull out the eyepiece from the vertical tube and insert the
adapter into the tube with the threads facing upwards. Then screw the camera into the threads
to attach to the microscope.
Note that when using a camera with the microscope, focusing of the image is accomplished by
turning the microscope focusing knobs while observing the image on the display screen. Under
these circumstances, the image observed through the inclined eyepiece will not be in focus.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: For your own safety, turn switch off and remove plug from power source before
maintaining your microscope. If the power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately to avoid shock or fire hazard.

Optical Maintenance
Do not attempt to disassemble any lens components. Consult a microscope service technician
when any repairs not covered by instructions are needed.
Prior to cleaning any lens surface, brush dust or dirt off lens surfaces using a camel hair brush, or
use air to blow dust and lint off of the surfaces. Use of compressed air from a can is an ideal
source of clean air.
