4-2 Microscope Body and Focusing Assembly
In reflected light observation, the stage plate can be placed either the
white or black side facing up.
Win transmitted light observation, use the transparent
glass stage plate (SP-C).
This operation is intended to facilitate the rotation of the knobs
while preventing the spontaneous drop of the microscope
body. It is recommended to set the knob tension to a slightly
higher level than the point where spontaneous drop occurs.
If the knobs are hard to move because of the weight of option
modules and/or camera mounted on the microscope body, it
is recommended to use the focusing assembly for heavy load
(SZX2-FOFH).
The tension of the coarse focus adjustment knob can
be adjusted with the tension adjustment ring
a
. Do
not rotate the knobs on the left and right in opposite
directions, for this will damage the internal mechanism.
Rotate the tension adjustment ring
a
by inserting the Allen
screwdriver
c
into the hole
b
on the ring periphery.
Rotating the ring clockwise increases the tension of the coarse
focus adjustment knob, and rotating counterclockwise decreases it.
· If the microscope body falls down by its own weight or
the focus obtained by fine focusing is lost immediately, the
tension adjustment may be too light. In this case, rotate the
ring clockwise to increase the tension.
· If the tension adjustment is too tight, delicate focusing will
be impossible and the knob may be damaged. Particularly,
to prevent damage, never rotate the fine focus adjustment
knob quickly while its tension is extremely tight.
Place the specimen on the approximate center of the stage plate. Hold
the specimen with the specimen holder as required.
Illuminate the specimen with an illuminator selected according to the
specimen under observation.
