Enstalasyon
Debake: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain the original packaging for future storage or transport.
Plasman: Place the microscope on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and vibrations.
Koneksyon pouvwa:
- For AC power, connect the provided AC adapter to the microscope's power input and plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
- For battery operation, open the battery compartment and insert 3 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
Enstalasyon okilè: Gently insert the desired eyepiece (10x or 25x) into the monocular viewing tube. Ensure it is seated firmly.
Kouvèti pousyè: When not in use, always cover the microscope with the provided dust cover to protect it from dust and debris.
Enstriksyon Operasyon
1. Preparing a Specimen
Mete lam ou te prepare a sou pati mekanik la.tage. Secure it using the stage klip.
Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select the lowest power objective lens (e.g., 4x or 10x). Ensure the objective clicks into place.
2. Konsantre
Turn on the LED illumination using the power switch. Adjust the brightness using the dimmer knob to a comfortable level.
While looking through the eyepiece, use the coarse focus knob (larger knob) to bring the specimen into approximate focus. Rotate the knob slowly to avoid crashing the objective into the slide.

Figure 3: Illustration of the co-axial coarse and fine focusing knobs, used for precise adjustment of the specimen's clarity.
Once roughly focused, use the fine focus knob (smaller knob) for precise focusing and to achieve a sharp image.
3. Chanje Agrandisman
After focusing at a lower magnification, rotate the revolving nosepiece to the next higher objective lens (e.g., 40x). The microscope is parfocal, meaning the image should remain largely in focus.
Use the fine focus knob to refine the image clarity at the new magnification.
The M150 series offers five magnification powers: 40X, 100X, 250X, 400X, and 1000X, achieved by combining the 10x/25x eyepieces with the 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x objective lenses.

4. Adjusting Illumination
The LED illumination system features a dimmer control for adjusting light intensity. For optimal viewing, especially at higher magnifications, adjust the light to provide sufficient brightness without causing glare.
5. Monocular Head Rotation
Monokilè a viewing head can rotate 360 degrees, allowing for flexible viewing positions and easy sharing among multiple users without moving the entire microscope.

Antretyen
Netwayaj Lantiy: Use only specialized lens cleaning paper or a soft, lint-free cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Wipe gently in a circular motion. Avoid touching optical surfaces with bare hands.
Netwayaj kò a: Siye kò mikwoskòp la ak yon twal mou.amp twal. Pa sèvi ak pwodui chimik piman bouk oswa pwodui netwayaj abrazif.
Depo: Always cover the microscope with the dust cover when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Ranplasman batri: If using batteries, replace them when the LED illumination dims significantly or stops working. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.
Depanaj
| Pwoblèm | Kòz posib | Solisyon |
|---|---|---|
| Pa gen limyè | Power adapter not connected, batteries dead/incorrectly inserted, power switch off. | Check power connection, replace batteries, turn on power switch. |
| Image blurry/cannot focus | Objective lens not clicked into place, incorrect focusing technique, dirty lens/slide. | Rotate nosepiece until objective clicks, use coarse then fine focus, clean lenses and slide. |
| Dark field of view | Illumination too low, diaphragm closed too much, objective not aligned. | Increase brightness, adjust diaphragm, ensure objective is clicked into position. |
| Dust/spots in view | Dust on eyepiece or objective lens. | Clean eyepiece and objective lenses carefully. |
