Ken A Vision CoreScope T-1701C Instruction Manual - page 4
APPLICATION
Thank you for purchasing your Ken-A-Vision microscope. We designed this
microscope with optical quality to withstand student use. The contoured metal
base is covered with high-density plastic to prevent chipping during normal
student use. These and other features, were designed to enhance the
CoreScope to offer you the best value.
SPECIFICATIONS
OPERATION
Built-In Illuminator
Turn off the power switch, located on the side of the
microscope, before connecting the power cord. Bulb replacement can be
done from the underneath side. See Bulb Replacement instructions. The
built-in 10 watt bayonet incandescent bulb provides all the light needed for
illumination.
Do not use any other bulb, as it will damage the unit
.
Eyepiece
The widefield eyepiece is already locked into place to avoid loss. No need
to tighten. A pointer is built-in to the eyepiece.
Focus
Place a specimen slide under the stage clips and move into position for
viewing. Use the 4x objective first. Raise the stage until it will go no higher.
Then lower the stage to bring into focus. Use the fine focus knob to achieve
optimum resolution. Once the image is sharp you should be able to simply
turn the nosepiece to the next objective lens and do minor adjustments with
the fine focus knob.
With Coaxial focusing both the coarse and fine focus knobs are on the same
axis. The coarse focus knob is the larger knob located next to the arm of the
microscope. The fine focus knob is the smaller knob mounted on the outside
of the coarse focus knob. Having both sets of knobs on the same axis makes
it easier to switch from one focus knob to the other without removing your
attention from your prepared slide.
Multi Directional Round Stage
The stage is "floating" and can be moved in any direction to view different
areas of the specimen slide.
Note:
In order to prevent from scratching the
40x objective lens, make sure the stage is in the correct position (with the back
of the stage clips facing the front of the microscopes).
BULB REPLACEMENT
a. Before changing the bulb, make sure that the power switch is off and the
power cord has been disconnected from the wall outlet.
b. On the bottom of your microscope use a slotted screwdriver to remove
the screw on the lamp door. Pull open the lamp door and carefully remove the
old light bulb from the socket by gently pushing in and turning the bulb one
quarter turn counter clockwise. Using lens paper to hold the bulb, put in new
bulb and push and turn clockwise.
c. Avoid touching the glass surface of the bulb with bare hand. Any oil
brought onto the bulb by the bare hand will negatively affect the heat dissi-
pation and shorten the life of the bulb. Clean the bulb surface with alcohol
and lens paper if the user has touched the bulb surface accidentally.
Any larger
watt bulb may cause damage to the unit.
d. Specification of the 10 watt bulb can be found on the
surface of the
microscope
