4.1 Desembalatge i muntatge

1. Traieu amb cura tots els components de l'embalatge.
2. Place the microscope body on a stable, flat surface.
3. Attach the binocular head to the top of the microscope body, securing it with the set screw if present.
4. Insert the 10X eyepieces into the ocular tubes of the binocular head. For higher magnification, insert the 25X eyepieces.
5. Screw the objective lenses (4X, 10X, 40X, 100X) into the revolving nosepiece in increasinordre d'augment g.

4.2 Powering the Microscope

The AmScope B120C-R microscope supports dual power options: USB-C and rechargeable AA batteries.

• Potència de la bateria: Insert the three included AA rechargeable batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure correct polarity.
• Alimentació USB-C: Connect the provided USB-C to USB-A cable to the microscope's USB-C port and to a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, laptop/PC, power bank). The microscope can be powered and batteries charged simultaneously.
• Nota important: Never plug in external power when non-rechargeable (normal) AA batteries are installed in the microscope. Only use rechargeable batteries or no batteries when connecting via USB-C.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Adjusting the Binocular Head

• Ajust interpupilar: Adjust the distance between the eyepieces to match your eye spacing by gently pushing or pulling the ocular tubes until a single circular field of view s'observa.
• Ajust de diòptries: If you have vision differences between your eyes, use the diopter adjustment ring on the left ocular tube to compensate. Focus with your right eye first (using the coarse and fine focus knobs), then close your right eye and adjust the diopter ring with your left eye until the image is sharp.
• Rotació: The Siedentopf head can be rotated 360° for comfortable viewing by multiple users or for sharing observations.

5.2 Placing and Focusing a Specimen

1. Turn on the LED illuminator using the power switch. Adjust the brightness using the dimmer control.
2. Place a prepared specimen slide onto the mechanical stage, assegurant-ho amb la stage clips.
3. Rotate the nosepiece to select the lowest power objective lens (e.g., 4X). Ensure it clicks into place.
4. Use the coarse focus knob to bring the specimen into approximate focus.
5. Feu servir el botó d'enfocament fi per a un enfocament precís.
6. Use the X-Y translation knobs on the mechanical stage to move the specimen and view diferents àrees.
7. To increase magnification, rotate the nosepiece to the next objective lens. Minor fine focus adjustments may be needed.
8. For the 100X objective, a drop of immersion oil must be applied to the slide before lowering the objective into the oil.

5.3 Ajust de la il·luminació

• The LED illuminator provides bright, daylight-balanced light.
• Use the dimmer control to adjust the light intensity for optimal viewing.
• The Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm can be adjusted to control the amount and angle of light reaching the specimen, improving contrast and resolution. Ensure the condenser is centered for best results.

6. Manteniment i cura

• Neteja de lents: Use only specialized lens cleaning paper and lens cleaning solution. Gently wipe the lens surfaces. Never use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Neteja del cos: Netegeu el cos del microscopi amb un drap suau iamp drap. Eviteu que la humitat entri en els components elèctrics.
• Emmagatzematge: When not in use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover to protect it from dust and debris. Store in a cool, dry place.
• Oli d'immersió: After using the 100X objective with immersion oil, clean the objective lens immediately to prevent oil from hardening.
• Cura de la bateria: If storing the microscope for an extended period, remove the rechargeable AA batteries to prevent potential leakage.
