Warranty and Parts:
We replace all defective or missing parts free of charge. Additional replacement parts may be ordered toll-
free. We accept MasterCard, Visa, checks and School P.O.s. All products warranted to be free from defect for 90 days. Does not

6) Focusing, diopter, interpupillary adjustments:
Place a specimen onto the stage. Loose the body locking thumb screw and hold the microscope head and move
the body up and down to fix it at the estimated working distance. Rotate the zooming knob while looking
through the right eyepiece until you see the image. Using the focusing handles to get the sharpest image of the
specimen. Then look through the left eyepiece with your left eyes and turn the diopter adjustment ring until you
get an image as sharp as the right side. Make this adjustment without moving the focusing handle. Then grasp
the right and left prism housing and move them closer or father apart in order to match your pupil distance. Ad-
justment is proper when the field of view becomes comfortable and presents a full single field.
7) Trinocular zooming head:
When the photo switch pressed in, the microscope is set for binocular users. When it is pulled out, the photo
tube is in working condition. Adapters for cameras, digital cameras, CCD are optional if necessary.
8) Use of auxiliary objectives:
Auxiliary objectives of 0.75X, 1.5X, 2X can be screwed in directly at the tip of the objective cases.
Because the working distance of the 0.5X objective is long, long pole should be used before it is used.
(Please refer to optical index III).
REPLACEMENT OF LAMP AND FUSE:
Warning: Disconnect the power line before you change the lamp or fuse.
• Replacement of the incident lamp:
Loosen the fixing screw and take off the lamp housing. Replace the bulb with a same new bulb. Place the

sary clean the lenses with a lint free cloth dipped in aether.
5. Do not use any organic material to clean the microscope surface, especially the plastic surface. It should be
cleaned by neutral detergent.
6. Because the assembly of all parts has been done by skilled optical craftsmen at the factory, you should never
attempt disassembly.
7. Apply a little bit grease regularly to the mechanical parts.
