4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your microscope for first use:
- Spakkjar: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain the original packaging for future transport or storage.
- Pjazzament: Place the microscope on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive dust.
- Installazzjoni tar-Ras: Loosen the head fastening screw on the microscope body. Gently insert the trinocular head into the top opening, ensuring it is seated firmly. Tighten the screw to secure the head.
- Eyepiece Installation: Insert the desired eyepieces (WF10X or WF25X) into the eyepiece tubes of the Siedentopf head.
- Installazzjoni tal-Lenti Oġġettiva: Rotate the revolving nosepiece until the 4X objective is positioned directly above the stage. Ensure all objective lenses are securely screwed into the nosepiece.
- Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija: Connect the power cord to the microscope's power input and then to a standard 110V electrical outlet.
- Camera Installation (if applicable): Insert the Swiftcam into the trinocular port on top of the microscope head. Connect the camera to your computer using the provided USB 3.0 cable. Install the Swiftcam software from the included CD or manufacturer's websit.
5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
This section details the steps for operating your SWIFT SW380T microscope.
5.1 Osservazzjoni Bażika
- Qawwa Mixgħul: Turn on the microscope's power switch. Adjust the dimming handwheel to set the desired illumination intensity.
- Prepare Specimen: Place a prepared slide onto the mechanical stage. Use the slide holder clips to secure it.
- Position Specimen: Use the X-Y translational control knob to move the mechanical stage and center the area of interest directly under the 4X objective lens.

Figura 5.1: Mekkanika stage and X-Y translational control knob for precise slide positioning.
- Iffukar:
- While looking through the eyepieces, slowly turn the coarse adjustment knob to bring the specimen into approximate focus.
- Imbagħad, uża l- pum ta 'aġġustament fin for precise focusing until the image is sharp and clear.

Figura 5.2: Fine focus knob for making precise adjustments to achieve the clearest image.
- Aġġustament tal-Illuminazzjoni: Use the Abbe condenser height adjustment wheel and the iris diaphragm adjustment to optimize contrast and resolution for your specimen. The LED lamp under the stage transmits light through the NA 1.25 Abbe condenser.

Figura 5.3: LED lamp and Abbe condenser for controlling illumination and contrast.
- Tibdil fl-Ingrandiment: Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select a higher power objective lens (e.g., 10X, 40X). Re-adjust the fine focus as needed. For 100X objective, apply a small drop of immersion oil to the slide before rotating the 100X objective into place. Ensure the objective lens makes contact with the oil. After use, clean the 100X objective and slide thoroughly to remove all oil.
