5. Instrukcja obsługi
5.1 Przygotowanie próbki
- Place your prepared slide or specimen on the plain stage.
- Zabezpiecz zamek za pomocą stagklipy elektroniczne.
- For opaque specimens, ensure the upper LED illumination is positioned correctly. For translucent specimens, ensure the lower LED illumination is clear.

5.2 Selecting Magnification
- Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select the desired objective lens (4x, 10x, or 40x). Start with the lowest magnification (4x) for initial viewing.
- The total magnification is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the objective lens magnification (e.g., WF10x eyepiece with 40x objective = 400x total magnification).
5.3 Regulacja oświetlenia
The microscope features both upper (episcopic) and lower (diascopic) LED illumination.
- Lower Illumination (Brightfield): Used for translucent or transparent specimens. Turn on the lower LED light source. Adjust the light intensity using the rheostat control knob located on the base. The disc diaphragm below the stage can be rotated to control the amount of light passing through the specimen.
- Upper Illumination (Incidental): Used for opaque specimens that do not allow light to pass through. Turn on the upper LED light source. Adjust the light intensity using the rheostat control knob.
5.4 Ustawianie ostrości
- With the lowest power objective (4x) in place, use the coarse focus knob (larger knob) to bring the specimen into approximate focus.
- Once roughly focused, use the fine focus knob (smaller knob, nested with coarse focus) for precise focusing and to achieve a sharp image.
- When switching to higher magnification objectives, only minor adjustments with the fine focus knob should be necessary due to the parfocal design.

6. Konserwacja
- Czyszczenie soczewek: Use a soft, lint-free lens cleaning cloth and a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Wipe gently in a circular motion. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Czyszczenie ciała: Przetrzyj korpus mikroskopu miękką,amp szmatką. Nie stosować rozpuszczalników organicznych.
- Składowanie: When not in use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and dust.
- Wymiana baterii: If using battery power, replace all three AA batteries when the illumination dims significantly. Ensure correct polarity.
7. Rozwiązywanie Problemów
| Problem | Możliwa przyczyna | Rozwiązanie |
|---|---|---|
| Brak oświetlenia | Power adapter not connected, batteries dead/incorrectly inserted, power switch off. | Check power adapter connection, replace batteries, ensure power switch is on. |
| Image blurry/cannot focus | Incorrect objective selected, coarse/fine focus not adjusted, slide upside down, dirty lens. | Start with lowest objective, use coarse then fine focus, ensure slide is correct side up, clean lenses. |
| Ciemne pole view | Diaphragm closed too much, illumination too low, objective not fully clicked into place. | Adjust diaphragm, increase rheostat intensity, rotate nosepiece until objective clicks. |
| Dust/spots in view | Kurz na okularze lub obiektywie. | Clean eyepiece and objective lenses carefully. |
