ASSEMBLY
Some minor assembly may be required. If required,
1) Remove the microscope base from the packing material. Remove the microscope head from the
packing material and place in the focus block (ring holder). Tighten locking nut to secure the head
in position. Most Omano stereo microscopes have rotatable heads so you can view the
microscope from either side of the stand. Simply rotate the head through 360° and tighten the
locking nut. If using a pole microscope, you can rotate the entire head and focus block, which is
useful for viewing larger specimens that do not fit on the stage.
2) RETAIN ALL PACKING MATERIAL. Should you need to return the microscope, you will need the
original packing material in good condition as per our Returns & Refunds policy.
3) Unwrap eyepieces an insert into oculars.
4) Tighten all locking nuts on the microscope.
OPERATION
1) Power On
Turn on the microscope. If your
microscope has a light intensity
adjustment dial, ensure that it is turned up.
2) Interpupillary Adjustment
Grasp both oculars and rotate to adjust the
interpupillary distance to suit the distance
between your eyes.
3) Focusing
a) Ensure that the lowest power is in use. For dual power microscopes, rotate the objective
housing until the lowest power clicks into place. For zoom stereo microscopes, rotate the
zoom control to the lowest setting.
b) Raise or lower the stage using the focus control until a clear image is viewed.
c) Diopter Adjustment: To adjust for differences between your right and left eye, first focus
using only your left eye. Once in focus, use only your right eye and adjust the diopter on
the right-hand ocular to bring your right eye into focus.
d) Now adjust the magnification to the highest setting. You may need to make minor
adjustments to the focus.
4) Trinocular Port – Phototube
To use the trinocular port for imaging, pull out the rod on the trinocular body in order to direct the
light into the trinocular tube. The left ocular will rendered inoperable. The trinocular tube includes
a standard 23.2mm smooth adapter.
ILLUMINATION
1) Your microscope will use halogen, tungsten or LED illumination. Replacement bulbs are available
at Microscope.com.
2) To change an Incident (top) bulb:
a) Unplug the electric cord before changing the bulb and allow all bulbs to cool for 15 minutes
after use prior to handling. Then remove the illuminator cap by unscrewing and the old
halogen lamp with the cup (be sure that it is cool enough to handle).
b) Insert the new lamp with the cup, using gloves or cloth material. In handling the halogen
lamp, wear gloves or cover the lamp with a protective sleeve. Oils and other materials from
fingers may damage the bulb. If you inadvertently touch the lamp with your fingers, clean the
lamp with denatured alcohol and a soft, clean cloth.
c) Replace the illuminator cap.
3) To change a Transmitted (bottom) bulb
a) Unplug the electric cord before changing the bulb and allow all bulbs to cool for 15 minutes
after use prior to handling. Then remove the illuminator cap by unscrewing and the old
halogen lamp with the cup (be sure that it is cool enough to handle).
