NOTE: If, at any or all magnifications, it is not possible to establish a clear image,
verify: that the power supply is on; that all optical surfaces are clean; that the
diaphragm is properly set to allow light to pass through the specimen; the
objective is in the correct position; and that the stage stop has been correctly set
according to the procedure outlined further in this manual.
FEATURES
WIDEFIELD EYEPIECE: The 10X eyepiece, furnished with this microscope, is
removable so that it can be cleaned and can be used with or without the rubber
eyecups that are provided.
Diopter Adjustment: On the Binocular and Trinocular models you will find the
round dials located at the base of the eyepiece tubes. These Diopter adjustment
dials are for focusing the user’s eyes for more accuracy. When not in use, leave the
dials on the ‘O” position. The Monocular model does not use this correction
feature.
MONOCULAR HEAD: Your Wolfe
Beta microscope is equipped with an angled
head. The inclined angle will promote user comfort when viewing slides for
extended periods. The Head can mounted and unmounted by loosening the
locking screw found at top right of the Nosepiece. You can also move the position
of the head by loosening the screw and moving the head to the desired angle.
Always leave the screw tightened when you have made your adjustment.
When setting up the scope for viewing, you can view the image with either eye.
BINOCULAR HEAD: Your Wolfe
Beta microscope is equipped with an angled,
Binocular head. The inclined angle will promote user comfort when viewing slides
for extended periods.
When setting up the scope for viewing, you may need to adjust the distance of the
eyepieces for individual use. The distance between the eyepieces will vary from
person to person. You can push the eyepieces together or pull them apart to allow
the distance to match the user’s eye width distance.
Once the distance is aligned,
you may also need to adjust the critical focus adjustment on each eyepiece tube.
This can be done once you have started viewing a specimen. Normally the diopter
adjustment dials can remain at the “0” setting.
It may be necessary to remove
eyeglasses in order to get a “combined” image with both eye
s.
TRINOCULAR HEAD: Your Wolfe
Beta Trinocular is much like the Binocular version
with the addition of a top port that comes with a “C” mount camera adapter. This
port is made so that when used, you will need to extend the black tipped rod
located on the right side of the prism head. Pushed in the scope will view the
image with the eyepieces. When the rod is extended you will be able to bring the
image up through the adapter and into the camera source.
NOSEPIECE AND SEMI-PLAN OBJECTIVES: The objectives are installed in a revolving,
ball bearing nosepiece. By convention, they are arranged in clockwise order.
Starting from 4X, clockwise rotation of the nosepiece increases the magnified
image. The objectives are corrected to eliminate color distortion in the image that
results from a magnifying lens’s tendency to separate light much like a prism.
Because the objectives are the primary “eyes” of your microscope, they should only
