2.0 INTRODUCTION

The OPTIKA zoom stereo microscopes SZM series are high performance Greenough microscopes with con-

tinuous zoom system 0.7:4.5.

These instruments are made for examining any three dimensional object in industrial, biological and educa-

tional applications. They are equipped with two separate optical systems that give an excellent eld depth to

the image, a stereoscopic effect.

3.0 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

The components for the SZM series are shipped in a Styrofoam box for protection. Open the box with care to

avoid that any components fall out and get damaged.

If the instrument has been damaged during the transport, please contact both the carrier and your supplier

immediately.

Unpack the stand and put it on a good stable table. Loosen the lock screw of the focusing carrier, adjust the

height of the focusing carrier and lock the lock screw again. For the SZM-3/4, make sure that the support col-

lar is secured rmly below the focusing carrier along the vertical post. This is important as this collar functions

to avoid the accidental falling of the microscope head along the stand.

Put the stereo head onto the focusing carrier and lock it by the lock screw on the side of the focusing carrier.

During the operation of the microscope, this screw should always be locked to maintain maximum stability.

Unpack the eyepieces and other optical parts carefully and place the eyepieces into the eyepiece tubes.

When handling the optical parts, avoid touching any lens surface with naked hand or ngers. Any ngerprints

or grease stains will negatively affect the image quality.

Connect the mains plug into the socket at the base

Make sure, before you turn the illumination on, that the voltage selector is set to the mains voltage for

your region.

The power cord should be used only on network sockets equipped with adequate grounding.

Contact a technician to check the state of your electrical system. If there is no need to install additional

accessories, the instrument is now ready for use. Once positioned and installed with the necessary

components, the microscope is ready to be used. Your microscope is a laboratory instrument desi-

gned to last. Handle it always carefully and avoid abrupt vibrations or shocks. Always disconnect the

power cable from the microscope when not in use for long time, while you clean it or when you perform

any maintenance.

AVOID DISASSEMBLING THE INSTRUMENT

Do not disassemble the instrument. This entails the cancellation of the warranty and may cause

malfunction.

4.0 USING THE MICROSCOPE

4.1 Illumination system

The SZM-1 and SZM-2 come with an integrated illumination system with incident and transmitted

light. For the microscopes without integrated illumination systems it is possible to use an external cold

light source. By using the correct light is possible obtain the better image of your sample.

Before starting, read the section 5.3 about electrical safety precautions. Then, insert the power cord

and use the brightness controls to turn on the lamps and control the light intensity.

The base is equipped with two clips that can be used to block the specimen.

4.2 Adjust interpupillary distance

Hold the right and left parts of the observation head by both hands and adjust the interpupillary distan-

ce by moving the two parts until one circle of light can be seen.

If two circles appear, the interpupillary distance is too big, and

if two overlapped circles appear, the interpupillary distance is

too small.

4.3 Focus and regulation of the focusing tension

Put the sample to be observed on the plate and turn the zoom

to the highest magnication using the bilateral zoom knob. Try

to focus the sample using the focusing knobs.

4.4 Dioptric compensation

This compensation makes it possible for people with glasses

to adjust the microscope to their eyes and use the microscope

without glasses. Turn the zoom down to the lowest magnica-

tion. Adjust the diopter compensation ring of the right eyepiece

tube until the image of the right eyepiece is clear and sharp.

Repeat the procedure for the left eyepiece. Then, check the

focus of the image for the whole zoom range. It should now be

perfectly parfocal (focus is always maintained during the change of magnication).

4.5 Magnicationandworkingdistance

The total magnication varies from 1.75x to 180x depending on the eyepieces and auxiliary objectives

used. With the bilateral zoom knob, the user can change the magnication in a factor of 6.4 with per-

fect parfocality and the image is always centred.

Select the desired magnication by adjusting the bilateral zoom knob. Change the eyepieces and/or

add an appropriate magnifying objective lens if necessary. The total magnication used can be calcu-

lated by the following equation:

Total magnication = Eyepiece magnication x Zoom magnication x Objective lens magnication

Normal working distance for the standard conguration (1x objective lens) is 95 mm.

4.6 Video capturing (optional)

Two kinds of observation heads, binocular or trinocular, are available for the SZM series. They can all

be connected to cameras via an adaptor, for digital and analogical photo and video capturing.

Before taking a picture or lming video, pull out the light path selector lever so the light will be deected

into the photo tube. At the same time, no light will enter into the right eyepiece tube for observation.

Please refer to the adaptor and camera manuals for further details.

5.1 Microscopy environment

This microscope is recommended to be used in a clean, dry and shock free environment with a tem-

perature of 0-40°C and a maximum relative humidity of 85 % (non condensing). Use a dehumidier if

needed.

5.2 Tothinkaboutwhenandafterusingthemicroscope

• The microscope should always be kept vertically when moving it and be careful so that no moving

parts, such as the eyepieces, fall out.

• Never mishandle or impose unnecessary force on the microscope.

• Never attempt to service the microscope yourself.

• After use, turn off the light immediately, cover the microscope with the included dust-cover, and keep

it in a dry and clean place.

5.3 Electrical safety precautions

• Before plugging in the power cord with the supply, make sure that the supplying voltage of your region

matches with the operation voltage of the equipment and that the lamp switch is in off-position.

• For models with halogen lamp, do not turn the power on and off, off and on immediately as this will

shorten the life span of the bulb and may cause damage to the electrical system.

• Users should observe all safety regulations of the region. The equipment has acquired the CE safety

label. However, users do have full responsibility to use this equipment safely.

5.4 Cleaning the optics

• If the optical parts need to be cleaned try rst to: use compressed air.

• If that is not sufcient: use a soft lint-free piece of cloth with water and a mild detergent.

• And as a nal option: use the piece of cloth moistened with a 3:7 mixture of ethanol and ether.

Note: ethanol and ether are highly ammable liquids. Do not use them near a heat source, near

sparks or near electric equipment. Use these chemicals in a well ventilated room.

• Remember to never wipe the surface of any optical items with your hands. Fingerprints can damage

the optics.

• Do not disassemble objectives or eyepieces in attempt to clean them.

5.5 Changingthelamp[onlyformodelswithhalogenlamp]

Before changing the bulb, make sure that the power switch is off and the power cord has been discon-

nected from the main supply.

For incident light: unscrew the lamp collector piece and pull it out, remove the old light bulb from the

socket, and carefully plug the new bulb in. Screw the collector piece back after changing the bulb.

For transmitted light: remove the glass plate by pushing down its rear side, remove the old bulb from

the socket and carefully plug the new bulb in.

Never touch the glass surface of the bulb with naked hand, any grease stain brought onto the bulb by

the hand will negatively affect the heat dissipation, and thus, greatly shorten the life span of the bulb.

Clean the bulb surface with alcohol and tissue if the user has touched the bulb surface accidentally.

7.0 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

7.1 Eyepieces and auxiliary objectives

With the standard equipment is included a pair of l0x eyepieces. There are also 15x and 20x eyepie-

ces available as optional accessories.

To change the eyepieces, remove the original eyepieces and replace with the new pair.

The standard objective is 1x and as optional accessories there are 0,5x, 1,5x, and 2x additional objec-

tives. An additional objective can be needed to obtain a specic magnication or a different working

distance.

The additional objective is mounted simply by screwing it onto the stereo-head. The height of the

microscope has to be re-adjusted as the working distance is changed when additional objective is

used.

7.2 Darkeldcondenser

The dark eld condenser has to be used with transmitted light system. By putting this accessory onto

the transmitted light outlet (removing the frosted glass or stage plate), it creates the dark eld effect.

It is especially useful in jewellery or gem study and special techniques in biomedical applications.
