  2. Place the microscope on a stable, level surface, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, dust, and vibrations.
  3. Ensure adequate space around the microscope for operation and ventilation.

2. Assembling the Microscope

  1. Attach the Binocular Head: Loosen the head locking screw on the top of the microscope body. Gently insert the binocular head into the top port, aligning the keyway, and tighten the locking screw.
  2. Fi Awọn Oju sii: Remove the protective caps from the eyepiece tubes and insert the WF10x eyepieces. If using the WF25x eyepieces, insert those instead.
  3. Fi Awọn Lẹ́ǹsì Àfojúsùn Sílẹ̀: Rotate the revolving nosepiece until the lowest power objective (4x) is positioned over the stage. Screw the objective lenses into the nosepiece in increasing order of magnification (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x).
  4. So agbara: Plug the power cord into the microscope's power input and then into a suitable electrical outlet (110V AC).

1. Power On and Illumination

  1. Turn on the main power switch located on the base of the microscope.
  2. Adjust the illumination intensity using the dimmer control knob to achieve comfortable and clear viewing.

2. Preparing a Specimen

  1. Place a prepared microscope slide onto the mechanical stage, ó ń fi àwọn s pamọ́ sí itage awọn agekuru.
  2. Lo awọn stage control knobs to center the specimen directly under the objective lens.

3. Focusing and Magnification

  1. Start with the lowest power objective (4x) in position.
  2. Look through the eyepieces and use the coarse focus knob to bring the specimen into approximate focus.
  3. Lo bọtini idojukọ to peye fun idojukọ to peye.
  4. Adjust the interpupillary distance (distance between eyepieces) and diopter setting on the left eyepiece for comfortable binocular viewing.
  5. To increase magnification, rotate the revolving nosepiece to the next objective lens (e.g., 10x, 40x). Re-focus using only the fine focus knob.
  6. For 100x objective, apply a small drop of immersion oil directly onto the slide over the area to be viewed. Lower the 100x objective into the oil until it makes contact. Focus carefully using the fine focus knob.
