제품 특징

• Polarizing compound microscope with a built-in focusable Bertrand lens on a rotatable disc, suitable for geology, petrology, mineralogy, toxicology, pharmacology, forensics, and industrial inspection.
• Siedentopf binocular mount with WF10x and WF16x widefield eyepieces, offering 55 to 75mm interpupillary adjustment and a fixed 45-degree vertical inclination for ergonomic viewing. The 360-degree rotation capability facilitates sharing.
• Forward-facing triple nosepiece equipped with 4x, 10x, and 40xS DIN strain-free plan achromatic objectives, precision-ground and optimized for polarized light applications.
• Dual illumination system: polarizing illumination with a focusable Bertrand lens on a rotating disc, and Brightfield illumination with rheostat-controlled 20W halogen light.
• 라운드 stage with 360-degree rotation, featuring a nested coaxial coarse and fine focusing system. Tension-adjustable coarse focusing and a lock ring stopper protect slides and objectives from damage.

설정

1. 짐 풀기: 포장에서 모든 구성품을 조심스럽게 꺼내십시오. 향후 운송 또는 보관을 위해 원래 포장재를 보관하십시오.
2. 놓기: Place the microscope on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, excessive dust, and vibrations. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. 헤드 어셈블리: Loosen the head locking screw on the microscope body. Gently insert the Siedentopf binocular head into the top opening, ensuring it is fully seated. Tighten the locking screw to secure the head.
4. 접안렌즈 설치: Insert the desired pair of eyepieces (WF10x or WF16x) into the eyepiece tubes of the binocular head.
5. Objective Installation: Rotate the nosepiece until the lowest power objective (4x) is positioned over the stage. Carefully screw the objectives into the nosepiece threads in ascending order of magnification (4x, 10x, 40xS).
6. 전원 연결: Connect the power cord to the microscope's power input and then to a standard 110V AC outlet.

작동 지침

Basic Operation (Brightfield)

1. 전원 켜기: Turn on the microscope's power switch. Adjust the rheostat to a low illumination setting.
2. Stag전자 조정: s를 낮추십시오tage using the coarse focus knob to create enough space to place a slide.
3. Slide Placement: Place your specimen slide on the round graduated stage, s로 고정tage 클립.
4. Objective Selection: Rotate the nosepiece to select the 4x objective.
5. 초점: While looking through the eyepieces, slowly raise the stage using the coarse focus knob until the specimen comes into view. Use the fine focus knob for precise focusing.
6. 동공간 거리: Adjust the distance between the eyepiece tubes to match your interpupillary distance for comfortable view주고받음.
7. 디옵터 조정: If one eye is clearer than the other, adjust the diopter ring on one eyepiece until both eyes see a sharp image.
8. 조명 조정: Adjust the rheostat for optimal brightness. Use the iris diaphragm on the Abbe condenser to control contrast and resolution.
9. 배율 변경: Rotate the nosepiece to switch to higher power objectives (10x, 40xS). Make minor adjustments with the fine focus knob. The 40xS objective is spring-loaded to prevent damage to slides.

Polarizing Operation

The AmScope PZ200BA is specifically designed for polarizing microscopy. Ensure the polarizer and analyzer are engaged for polarized light observations.

1. Engage Polarizer: Insert the polarizer into its designated slot below the condenser.
2. Engage Analyzer: Insert the analyzer into the slot above the objectives, typically within the midist head.
3. Bertrand Lens: For conoscopic observation (interference figures), engage the built-in Bertrand lens by rotating its disc. Use the centering controls for precise alignment.
4. Stage Rotation: The round graduated stage can be rotated 360 degrees. Use the vernier scale for precise angular measurements, crucial for determining optical properties of anisotropic materials.
5. Removing Polarizing Components: The polarizer, analyzer, and Bertrand lens can be removed from the optical path to revert to standard Brightfield microscopy.

유지

• 세척 광학 장치: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or lens paper specifically designed for optics. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Never touch optical surfaces with bare fingers.
• 세척 본체: 현미경 본체를 부드러운 천으로 닦으십시오.amp 옷감. 가혹한 화학 물질이나 연마성 세제를 사용하지 마십시오.
• 먼지 커버: Always use the provided dust cover when the microscope is not in use to protect it from dust and debris.
• 전구 교체: If the halogen bulb burns out, ensure the microscope is unplugged and cool. Refer to the diagram in the full manual (if available) for specific instructions on accessing and replacing the bulb. Use only the specified replacement bulbs (6V/20W).
• 퓨즈 교체: If the microscope does not power on, check the fuse. Ensure the microscope is unplugged. Replace with a fuse of the same rating.
• 저장: Store the microscope in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, remove eyepieces and objectives and store them in sealed containers to prevent dust and fungal growth.
