- WF10x Eyepieces: Widefield 10x magnification eyepieces.
- 2x Objective: Provides 2x magnification for the primary optical system.
- Boom-Arm Stand: Allows for flexible positioning of the microscope head over large work areas.
- Fokusknapper: Bilateral coarse focus for adjusting image clarity.
- Tungsten Light: Side-mounted 10W tungsten light for illumination.
- Pillar: Vertical support for the boom arm.
- Grundlag: Stable foundation for the microscope.
4. Opsætning
Følg disse trin for at samle og klargøre dit mikroskop til brug:
- Udpak komponenter: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and place them on a clean, stable work surface.
- Assemble Boom-Arm Stand:
- Insert the vertical pillar into the base and secure it with the locking screw.
- Attach the boom arm to the pillar, ensuring it is securely fastened.
- Mount Microscope Head:
- Carefully attach the binocular viewing head to the boom arm. Tighten any securing screws to prevent movement.
- Install Eyepieces:
- Fjern beskyttelseshætterne fra okularrørene.
- Gently insert the WF10x eyepieces into the tubes.
- Place the eye guards onto the eyepieces.
- Install Objective:
- The 2x objective is typically pre-installed. If not, carefully screw it into the objective housing.
- Connect Tungsten Light:
- Ensure the tungsten light is securely mounted to the microscope head.
- Connect the light's power cable to the appropriate port on the microscope base or power supply.
- Strømtilslutning:
- Connect the power cord to the microscope base and then to a grounded electrical outlet (110V-120V).

5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1 Tænd/sluk
Locate the power switch on the microscope base. Flip the switch to the 'ON' position to power on the tungsten light. Flip it to 'OFF' when finished.
5.2 Adjusting Eyepieces
- Interpupillær afstand: While looking through the eyepieces, adjust the distance between the two eyepiece tubes until you see a single, clear circular field of view.
- Dioptrisk justering: If one of your eyes has a different strength, use the diopter adjustment ring on one of the eyepieces to fine-tune the focus for that eye after focusing with the other eye.
5.3 Fokusering
Place your specimen on the work surface beneath the objective. Use the bilateral coarse focus knobs located on the microscope head to raise or lower the head until the specimen comes into sharp focus. The microscope offers a 6-inch vertical working distance.
5.4 Boom Arm and Head Rotation
The boom arm provides a 12-inch working distance and allows for extensive movement. Loosen the locking knobs on the boom arm to extend, retract, or rotate the arm. The microscope head can also be rotated on its X- and Y-axes for optimal viewing angles. Ensure all knobs are tightened after adjustment to secure the position.

5.5 Belysning
The 10W tungsten light provides incident (reflected) illumination. It is side-mounted and moves with the microscope head, ensuring consistent lighting on your specimen regardless of the head's position.
6. Vedligeholdelse
Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your microscope.
- Rengøring af linser: Use a soft, lint-free lens cleaning cloth and a specialized lens cleaning solution. Never use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Gently wipe the lens surfaces.
- Rengøring af krop: Tør mikroskophuset af med en blød kludamp cloth. Avoid getting moisture into electrical components.
- Støvdæksel: Brug altid det medfølgende støvdæksel, når mikroskopet ikke er i brug, for at beskytte det mod støv og snavs.
- Opbevaring: Store the microscope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and vibrations.
- Udskiftning af pære: If the tungsten bulb burns out, ensure the microscope is unplugged and the bulb has cooled before attempting replacement. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific bulb types and replacement procedures.
