the specimen with the specimen holder as required.

Illuminate the specimen with an illuminator selected according to the

Adjusting the Rotation Tension of the Coarse

Focus Adjustment Knob

This operation is intended to facilitates the rotation of

TIP

the knobs while preventing the spontaneous drop of the

microscope body. It is recommended to set the knob

rotation tension to a slightly higher level than the point where

spontaneous drop occurs.

If the knobs are hard to move because of the weight of option

modules and/or camera mounted on the microscope body, it

is recommended to use the focusing assembly for heavy load

(SZX2-FOFH).

The rotation tension of the coarse focus adjustment knob

NOTE

can be adjusted with the rotation tension adjustment

ring a . Do not rotate the knobs on the left and right

in opposite directions, for this will damage the internal

mechanism.

Rotate the rotation tension adjustment ring a by inserting the

Allen screwdriver c into the hole b on the ring periphery.

Rotating the ring clockwise increases the rotation tension of the coarse

focus adjustment knob, and rotating counterclockwise decreases it.

· If the microscope body falls down by its own weight or

NOTE

the focus obtained by fine focusing is lost immediately, the

rotation tension adjustment may be too light. In this case,

rotate the ring clockwise to increase the rotation tension.

· If the rotation tension adjustment is too tight, delicate

focusing will be impossible and the knob may be damaged.

Particularly, to prevent damage, never rotate the fine focus

adjustment knob quickly while its rotation tension is

extremely tight.
