Turning on the Lamp 

Connect the power cable and turn the main switch 

  to the “I” 

(on) position. 

 

When  using  transmitted  light  illumination,  fix  the 
lamp  holder  into  the  jack  on  the  back  of  the 
microscope  (Fig.11),  and  insert  the  power  plug  into 
the power jack of the microscope (

in Fig.11). Then 

turn the main switch 

  to the “

” (on) position. 

 

3-2   

Adjust Brightness 

To  adjust  the  brightness,  turn knob 

  clockwise  to  increase  the 

voltage  therefore  increasing  the  illumination;  and  turn 
anti-clockwise to turn down the voltage and dim the light. 

 

Using the lamp at low voltage, will prolong the life 
of the halogen bulb. 

 

3-3 

Adjusting the Tension Adjustment Collar 

 

The  tension  adjustment  collar  was  adjusted  before 
leaving  the  factory,  if  you  find  it  loose  or  if  the 
mechanical stage drops by itself because of weight, 
please use the tensioning adjustment tool and adjust 
the collar 

  until the tightness is corrected.
