Karatteristiċi ewlenin:

  • Long Working Distance Optics: Allows for observation of samples in culture vessels without interference.
  • Plan Infinity Optics: Provides flat, clear images across the entire field of view.
  • Qasam Wiesgħa ta View (FOV 22): Equipped with 10x eyepieces for a broad observation area.
  • Pre-centered Phase Annulus: Facilitates quick and accurate phase contrast setup.
  • Objective Configuration: Includes 4x, 40x plan infinity objectives and 10x, 20x plan infinity phase objectives as standard.

2. Setup

2.1 Spakkjar u Tqegħid

  1. Carefully remove the microscope and all accessories from the packaging.
  2. Place the microscope on a stable, level surface, away from direct sunlight, vibrations, and excessive dust.
  3. Ensure adequate space around the microscope for operation and ventilation.

2.2 Assemblaġġ tal-Komponenti

  1. Install the trinocular head onto the microscope body, securing it with the provided screw.
  2. Insert the 10x eyepieces into the eyepiece tubes.
  3. Screw the objectives (4x, 10x, 20x, 40x) into the revolving nosepiece in ascending order of magnification.
  4. Connect the power cord to the microscope and then to a grounded electrical outlet (6V30W halogen illumination).

3. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

3.1 Power On and Illumination

  1. Ixgħel is-swiċċ tal-qawwa prinċipali.
  2. Adjust the illumination intensity using the dimmer control to a comfortable level.

3.2 Sample Placement and Focusing

  1. Poġġi sample (e.g., petri dish, culture flask) onto the hard-coated low drive mechanical stage.
  2. Rotate the nosepiece to select the lowest magnification objective (e.g., 4x).
  3. Use the coarse focus knob to bring the sample into approximate focus.
  4. Use the fine focus knob for precise focusing.
  5. Adjust the mechanical stage controls to move the sample and locate the area of interest.

3.3 Objective Selection and Phase Contrast

  1. To change magnification, rotate the nosepiece to the desired objective (10x, 20x, 40x).
  2. For phase contrast observation, select a phase objective (10x, 20x) and ensure the corresponding phase annulus in the condenser (N.A. 0.3 LWD condenser) is engaged. The pre-centered phase annulus simplifies this process.
  3. Re-adjust fine focus as needed for each objective.

4. Manutenzjoni

4.1 Tindif

  • Optical Components: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optics. Gently wipe lenses to remove dust and smudges. Avoid touching optical surfaces with bare hands.
  • Body and Stage: Wipe the microscope body and stage with a soft, damp drapp. Tużax kimiċi ħarxa jew tindif li joborxu.

4.2 Ħażna

  • When not in use, cover the microscope with a dust cover to protect it from dust and debris.
  • Store the microscope in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
