4. Parentah Operasi

4.1. Pangaluyuan Pembesaran

The microscope offers a wide range of magnification by combining different eyepieces and objective lenses. The total magnification is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the objective lens magnification.

  • Eyepieces: Use either the 10x widefield or 25x widefield eyepieces.
  • Lensa Objektif: Rotate the forward-facing nosepiece to select from 4x, 10x, 40xS (spring-loaded), and 100xS (spring-loaded, oil immersion) DIN achromatic objectives.
  • The 40xS and 100xS objectives are spring-loaded to prevent damage to slides when focusing.

4.2. Illumination Control

The microscope uses lower (diascopic) Brightfield LED illumination to transmit light through the specimen.

  • Sumber Lampu LED: Turn on the LED illumination using the power switch. Adjust the brightness using the rheostat control knob.
  • Abbe Condenser (1.25 NA): Adjust the condenser to control the distance of the light from the stage.
  • Iris diafragma: Use the iris diaphragm lever to optimize the amount of light illuminating the specimen, enhancing contrast and resolution.

4.3. Fokus

Achieve clear focus using the coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs:

  • Coarse Focus Knob: Use for large adjustments to bring the specimen into approximate focus, especially with lower magnification objectives.
  • Fine Focus Knob: Use for small, precise adjustments to achieve sharp focus, particularly with higher magnification objectives.

4.4. Mékanik Stage Operasi

The double-layer mechanical stage allows for precise movement of the slide.

  • Slide Holder: Secure the microscope slide using the slide clips on the mechanical stage.
  • X-Y Axis Control: Use the X-Y axis knobs located below the stage to move the slide horizontally and vertically, allowing you to scan the specimen area.

4.5. Siedentopf Head Adjustment

The Siedentopf binocular head is designed for comfortable viewdina jeung babagi.

  • Inter-pupillary Adjustment: Adjust the distance between the two ocular tubes (53 to 77mm) to match your eye spacing for comfortable viewing.
  • Penyesuaian dioptrik: Use the diopter ring on one of the ocular tubes to compensate for differences in eye strength between your left and right eyes.
  • Rotasi: The head can rotate 360 degrees, which is useful for sharing the view with others without moving the entire microscope.

5. Pangropéa

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your microscope:

  • Lensa beberesih: Use only specialized lens cleaning paper and solution to clean objective lenses and eyepieces. Avoid touching optical surfaces with bare hands.
  • Ngabersihkeun Awak: Lap awak mikroskop ku kaén nu lemes,amp lawon. Hindarkeun ngagunakeun bahan kimia anu kasar atanapi pembersih abrasive.
  • Perlindungan lebu: Always use the provided dust cover when the microscope is not in use to prevent dust accumulation.
  • Panyimpenan: Store the microscope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Minyak immersion: After using the 100x oil immersion objective, clean the oil from the lens immediately using lens paper and cleaning solution.
