- Eyepiece (Ocular): Ibi tí o bá wò sí view the specimen. The D120A-MS includes WF10x and WF16x eyepieces.
- Monocular ViewOri: The upper part of the microscope containing the eyepiece tube. This model features a dual-view head with a fixed 45-degree inclined tube and a vertical port.
- Revolving Nosepiece: Holds the objective lenses and allows for easy switching between magnifications.
- Awọn lẹnsi Idi: The primary magnification components (4x, 10x, 40xS, 100xS oil).
- Ẹ̀rọ Stage: A platform where the specimen slide is placed, with controls for precise X-Y movement.
- Stage Awọn agekuru: Secure the specimen slide on the mechanical stage.
- Kọ́nì ìfojúsùn kíkan: Large knob for rapid focusing adjustments.
- Kọ́nì Ìfojúsùn Fine: Small knob for precise focusing adjustments.
- Illuminator (Light Source): Located beneath the stage, provides light for viewing. This model uses variable-intensity tungsten illumination.
- Abbe Condenser: Located below the stage, focuses light onto the specimen. Features a 1.25 NA and an iris diaphragm.
- Iris diaphragm: Controls the amount of light passing through the specimen.
- Ipilẹ: The stable bottom support of the microscope.

- Ibi: Place the microscope on a sturdy, level surface, away from vibrations and direct sunlight.
- Fifi sori ẹrọ oju: Insert the desired eyepiece (WF10x or WF16x) into the inclined eyepiece tube of the monocular head. Gently twist to secure it.
- Fifi sori ẹrọ Ero: The objective lenses are typically pre-installed. If not, carefully screw each objective into the revolving nosepiece in increasing order of magnification (4x, 10x, 40xS, 100xS). Ensure they are finger-tight.
- Asopọ agbara: Connect the power cord to the microscope's power input and then to a standard 110V electrical outlet.
- Ideri Ekuru: When not in use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover to protect it from dust and debris.

This section outlines the fundamental steps for observing specimens with your microscope.
- Agbara Tan: Flip the power switch located on the base of the microscope. The illuminator should light up.
- Ṣatunṣe Imọlẹ: Use the variable intensity control knob to set the desired brightness. Adjust the iris diaphragm on the Abbe condenser to optimize contrast and resolution for your specimen.
- Àpẹẹrẹ Ibi: Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select the lowest power objective (4x). Lower the mechanical stage using the coarse focus knob. Place a prepared specimen slide onto the mechanical stage si ni aabo pẹlu awọn stage awọn agekuru.
- Position Specimen: Lo awọn XY stage control knobs to move the slide until the area of interest is centered under the objective lens.
- Fojusi:
- While looking through the eyepiece, slowly raise the stage lilo awọn coarse focus knob until the specimen comes into rough focus.
- Lo awọn fine focus knob to achieve a sharp, clear image.
- Yi Imudaniloju pada: Once focused at low power, rotate the revolving nosepiece to switch to a higher power objective (e.g., 10x, 40xS). Due to the parfocal design, only minor adjustments with the fine focus knob should be needed to bring the image back into sharp focus.
- Using the 100xS Oil Immersion Objective:
- After focusing with the 40xS objective, rotate the nosepiece halfway between the 40xS and 100xS objectives.
- Place a small drop of immersion oil directly onto the center of the specimen slide where the light passes through.
- Carefully rotate the 100xS objective into the oil drop until it clicks into place. The objective should be immersed in the oil.
- Lo awọn nikan fine focus knob to bring the image into sharp focus. Do not use the coarse focus knob with the 100xS objective.
- After use, clean the 100xS objective and the slide immediately with lens paper moistened with lens cleaning solution to remove all immersion oil.
- Meji-View Iṣẹ ṣiṣe: The vertical port on the monocular head can accept a second eyepiece for simultaneous viewing by another person or a camera mount for digital image capture (eyepiece and camera sold separately). Dioptric adjustment on the upright tube accommodates individual eye-strength differences.

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your microscope.
- Awọn lẹnsi mimọ: Use only specialized lens paper and lens cleaning solution for optical surfaces. Gently wipe in a circular motion. Never use abrasive cloths or harsh chemicals.
- Isọsọ gbogboogbo: Nu ara microscope naa pẹlu asọ, damp cloth. Avoid getting moisture into electrical components.
- Ibi ipamọ: Always cover the microscope with the dust cover when not in use. Store it in a dry, dust-free environment.
- Rirọpo Boolubu: If the illuminator bulb burns out, unplug the microscope. Refer to the base of the microscope for access to the bulb compartment. Carefully replace the old bulb with the provided spare bulb, ensuring not to touch the glass part of the new bulb with bare hands.
- Awọn ẹya ẹrọ: Do not attempt to lubricate or disassemble any mechanical parts. If issues arise, contact customer support.
