Fitur produk

• Polarizing compound microscope with a built-in focusable Bertrand lens on a rotatable disc, suitable for geology, petrology, mineralogy, toxicology, pharmacology, forensics, and industrial inspection.
• Siedentopf binocular mount with WF10x and WF16x widefield eyepieces, offering 55 to 75mm interpupillary adjustment and a fixed 45-degree vertical inclination for ergonomic viewing. The 360-degree rotation capability facilitates sharing.
• Forward-facing triple nosepiece equipped with 4x, 10x, and 40xS DIN strain-free plan achromatic objectives, precision-ground and optimized for polarized light applications.
• Dual illumination system: polarizing illumination with a focusable Bertrand lens on a rotating disc, and Brightfield illumination with rheostat-controlled 20W halogen light.
• Babak stage with 360-degree rotation, featuring a nested coaxial coarse and fine focusing system. Tension-adjustable coarse focusing and a lock ring stopper protect slides and objectives from damage.

Disetél

1. Ngabongkar bungkusan: Cabut sadaya komponén tina bungkusna kalayan ati-ati. Simpen bungkus aslina kanggo transportasi atanapi panyimpenan engké.
2. panempatan: Place the microscope on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, excessive dust, and vibrations. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Majelis Kepala: Loosen the head locking screw on the microscope body. Gently insert the Siedentopf binocular head into the top opening, ensuring it is fully seated. Tighten the locking screw to secure the head.
4. Pemasangan Lensa Mata: Insert the desired pair of eyepieces (WF10x or WF16x) into the eyepiece tubes of the binocular head.
5. Instalasi Tujuan: Rotate the nosepiece until the lowest power objective (4x) is positioned over the stage. Carefully screw the objectives into the nosepiece threads in ascending order of magnification (4x, 10x, 40xS).
6. Sambungan Daya: Connect the power cord to the microscope's power input and then to a standard 110V AC outlet.

Parentah Operasi

Basic Operation (Brightfield)

1. Daya Hurung: Turn on the microscope's power switch. Adjust the rheostat to a low illumination setting.
2. Stage Penyesuaian: Turunkeun stage using the coarse focus knob to create enough space to place a slide.
3. Slide Placement: Place your specimen slide on the round graduated stage, ngamankeunana ku stage klip.
4. Pilihan Objektif: Rotate the nosepiece to select the 4x objective.
5. Fokus: Bari ningali ngaliwatan eyepiece, laun-laun angkat stagnganggo kenop fokus kasar dugi ka spésimén asup kana view. Use the fine focus knob for precise focusing.
6. Jarak Interpupillary: Adjust the distance between the eyepiece tubes to match your interpupillary distance for comfortable viewing.
7. Penyesuaian Diopter: If one eye is clearer than the other, adjust the diopter ring on one eyepiece until both eyes see a sharp image.
8. Penyesuaian iluminasi: Adjust the rheostat for optimal brightness. Use the iris diaphragm on the Abbe condenser to control contrast and resolution.
9. Ngarobah Pembesaran: Rotate the nosepiece to switch to higher power objectives (10x, 40xS). Make minor adjustments with the fine focus knob. The 40xS objective is spring-loaded to prevent damage to slides.

Polarizing Operation

The AmScope PZ200BA is specifically designed for polarizing microscopy. Ensure the polarizer and analyzer are engaged for polarized light observations.

1. Engage Polarizer: Insert the polarizer into its designated slot below the condenser.
2. Engage Analyzer: Insert the analyzer into the slot above the objectives, typically within the midist head.
3. Bertrand Lens: For conoscopic observation (interference figures), engage the built-in Bertrand lens by rotating its disc. Use the centering controls for precise alignment.
4. Stage Rotation: The round graduated stage can be rotated 360 degrees. Use the vernier scale for precise angular measurements, crucial for determining optical properties of anisotropic materials.
5. Removing Polarizing Components: The polarizer, analyzer, and Bertrand lens can be removed from the optical path to revert to standard Brightfield microscopy.

Pangropéa

• Optik beberesih: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or lens paper specifically designed for optics. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Never touch optical surfaces with bare fingers.
• Ngabersihkeun Awak: Lap awak mikroskop ku kaén nu lemes,amp lawon. Hindarkeun ngagunakeun bahan kimia anu kasar atanapi pembersih abrasive.
• Panutup lebu: Always use the provided dust cover when the microscope is not in use to protect it from dust and debris.
• Ngagantian bohlam: If the halogen bulb burns out, ensure the microscope is unplugged and cool. Refer to the diagram in the full manual (if available) for specific instructions on accessing and replacing the bulb. Use only the specified replacement bulbs (6V/20W).
• Ngagantian sekering: If the microscope does not power on, check the fuse. Ensure the microscope is unplugged. Replace with a fuse of the same rating.
• Panyimpenan: Store the microscope in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, remove eyepieces and objectives and store them in sealed containers to prevent dust and fungal growth.
