1. INTRODUCTION

The Motic SMZ-161 series stereomicroscopes are high performance Greenough design

stereomicroscopes with continuous zoom ranges of 6:1. The microscopes in this series allow

continuous variable magnification between 7.5X - 45X, while total magnification varies from 2.25X to

180X depending on the eyepieces and auxiliary objectives used. With the bilateral zoom knobs, users

are able to adjust magnification while the microscope remains perfectly parfocal.

The SMZ-161 is the ideal instrument for examining objects of industrial, biological, medical or

educational nature.

2. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLING THE MICROSCOPE

2.1 Unpacking the Microscope

The components for SMZ-161 stereomicroscopes are shipped integrative for protection. Open the

styrofoam packing with care and do not leave any components attached to the packing being removed.

Do not discard any of the packing materials until all of the components have been identified. If any

damage occurs during transit, contact both the carrier and your supplier immediately.

2.2 Assembling the Microscope

2.2.1 When handling the components, especially the optical parts, avoid touching any lens surfaces

with bare hands or fingers as fingerprints and grease stains affect image quality.

2.2.2 After unpacking the stand, put it on a stable and flat table. Loosen the locking screw of the

head holder, adjust the height of the head holder and lock the locking screw again. Make sure

that the support collar is secured firmly below the head holder along the vertical post.

This is important as this collar keeps the microscope from sliding down the column.

2.2.3 The head holder should rest on the support collar and both the head holder locking screw and

the collar locking screw should be tightened.

2.2.4 Put the stereo body onto the head holder and lock it using the locking screw located on the

right hand side of the head holder. To maintain the best stability, you are advised to lock the

screw on the left hand side of the head holder as well.

2.2.5 After removing the wrapping papers and packing materials around the eyepieces and other

optical parts (avoid touching the lens surfaces), carefully place the eyepieces into the eyepiece

tubes and secure them using the locking screws. If necessary, loosen the locking screws before

putting in the eyepieces.

2.2.6 Before turning on the power, plug the illumination power cord into the socket at the top of the

column. Next, plug the power cord of the main frame into the local power supply. Note: before

plugging in and turning on the power, make sure that the operation voltage of the

microscope matches the voltage of the local power supply.

3. MICROSCOPE ALIGNMENT AND OPERATION

3.1 Interpupillary Distance

Adjust the two eyepiece tubes until only one circular field can be seen through the two eyepieces. If two

separate circles appear, the interpupillary distance is too large; if two overlapping circles appear, the

interpupillary distance is too small.

3.2 Focusing the Microscope

To focus the sample, use the focusing knobs located on both sides of the head holder. By turning these

knobs, the microscope can be moved up or down a certain distance to focus the sample. This

movement is enabled by a “rack and pinion” mechanism. The tension of the focusing knob can be

adjusted using the tension knob located in the inner region of the focusing knob on the right.

If a sharp focus cannot be achieved using this knob, release the locking screw and support collar and

move the whole microscope up or down.

3.2.1 Using the focusing knob, focus the sample using the highest magnification strength. If the

sample cannot be brought into focus, adjust the height of the microscope along the column.

Remember to tighten the locking screw and support collar after adjusting the height of the

microscope.

3.2.2 Turn the zoom to the highest magnification. Adjust the focusing knob until a clear and sharp

image is obtained.

3.2.3 Turn the zoom to the lowest magnification. Adjust the right eyepiece diopter until the image

seen through the right eyepiece is clear and sharp.

3.2.4 Repeat the procedure for the left eyepiece. Next, check the image focus for the entire zoom

range; it should now be perfectly parfocal.

3.3 Magnification and Working Distance

3.3.1 Select the desired magnification strength by adjusting the zoom knob. Change the optional

eyepieces and/ or add an optional auxiliary objective, for other range of magnification.

3.3.2 Total magnification used can be calculated using the following equation:

Total magnification = Eyepiece magnification X Zoom magnification X

Objective lens magnification

3.3.3 Working distance varies from 301mm (when using a 0.3X objective lens) to 38.6mm (when a 2X

objective lens is used). Normal working distance for standard configuration (1X objective lens) is

110mm.

3.4 Changing the Bulb

3.4.1 Before changing the light bulb, make sure that the power is switched off and the power cord has

been disconnected from the main power supply.

3.4.2 For incident light, unscrew the lamp collector piece, remove the old halogen bulb (when a

R2GG halogen stand used) or the old LED module (when a R2LED stand used) from the socket

and carefully plug in the new halogen bulb or LED module. Screw the collector piece back in

after changing the old one.

3.4.3 For transmitted light, turn the microscope over so that the bottom plate of the stand faces

towards the user. Remove the bottom plate by unscrewing the four rubber feet. For R2GG

halogen stand, remove the old light bulb from the socket and carefully plug the new light bulb in;

for R2LED stand, unscrew the plank and remove the old LED module and screw the new LED

module in place. Finally, firmly secure the bottom plate after changing the light bulb or LED

module.

3.4.4 Never touch the glass surface of the light bulb with bare hands. Any grease on the light bulb will

affect heat dissipation, greatly shortening the life span of the light bulb. If the surface of the bulb

has been accidentally touched, clean with alcohol and tissue.

4. KNOWING YOUR MICROSCOPE

4.1 Stereo Body with Binocular or Trinocular Head

For the SMZ-161 stereomicroscopes, the binocular or trinocular tubes are built into the stereo body to

form a single unit called a “Stereo-head”. The SMZ-161 B (Fig.1) is equipped with a binocular tube

while the SMZ-161 T (Fig.2) is equipped with a trinocular tube.

4.1.1 Stereo Body

●The Stereo body is the key component of the microscope. It includes the Greenough stereo-zoom

system with a continuous zoom range of 6:1. It also includes separate left and right non-telescopic

optics systems.

●With this system, users are able to enjoy excellent depth of field and stereo effects. With the help of

precision optics from Motic, perfect parfocality is maintained throughout the entire zoom range.

●The zoom knobs are located on both sides of the microscope and scales are printed on the knobs to

display the current magnification. Adjust these knobs to change the magnification of the image. If the

microscope has been properly adjusted, the image should remain in focus even when the

magnification is changed (parfocal). For adjustment procedures, refer to section 3.2 of this manual.

●The stereo body is mounted onto the circular mount of the head holder and is locked into place

using the locking screw on the right hand side of the holder. While operating the microscope, this

locking screw should always be locked to maintain utmost stability.

4.1.2 Binocular tube for the SMZ-161B

●The interpupillary distance can be adjusted by moving the two eyepiece tubes horizontally. For

proper interpupillary distance adjustment, refer to section 3.1 of this manual.

●The eyepiece can be secured in the eyepiece tube using a small screw. This is important for easy

adjustment of the eyepiece diopter.

4.1.3 Trinocular tube for the SMZ-161T

●The procedures for adjusting the interpupillary distance and securing the eyepieces are the same for

the trinocular tube as they are for the binocular tube.

●By turning the knob at the left side of the trinocular tube, all the light from the right eyepiece tube will

be deflected into the phototube for the attached imaging device.

●At the top of the trinocular tube, there is a locking screw that is used to secure the adapter for the

imaging device. After fitting the adapter, this locking screw should be tightened.

4.2 Stand

Three different stands are available for the SMZ-161:

4.2.1R2GG (Fig.1)

●New stand with reflector design to reach more homogeneous illumination and lower temperature.

●The head holder can be moved freely along the vertical post and be removed totally from the stand.

The diameter of the post is 25mm.

●This stand is installed with built-in transmitted light (halogen 12V/20W) and incident light (halogen

12V/10W) illuminators.

●To turn the stand power on, the main switch (located on the left hand side) should be switched to the

“on” position.

●A separated power switch for transmitted and incident illumination is located on the right hand side.

Users are able to select transmitted or incident light or both with these two power switches.

●Light intensity can be adjusted by turning the knob at the bottom of the stand on the right hand side.

This knob governs the light intensity for the transmitted and incident lights.

●The illuminating angle of the incident light can be adjusted using the screw located behind the

illuminator.

●Besides the black and the white stage plate, a frosted glass stage plate is provided for transmitted

light. This plate can be secured using the screw at the bottom front of the stand.

4.2.2R2LED (Fig.1)

●Basically the same as the “R2GG” stand except that a 3W LED is used instead of halogen bulb for

transmitted light and incident light. It delivers almost no heat to the sample and is ideal for biological

and heat-sensitive specimen applications.

4.2.3Plain stand (Fig.2)

●This industrial stand allows for extreme flexibility in positioning. It includes a heavy base to maintain

good stability.

4.3 External Illuminator

4.3.1 All kinds of external illuminators can be used as incident illuminators ranging from simple desk

lamps to specialized ring illuminators.
