3.2 Operation of the stereo microscopes
3.2.1 Interpupillary distance adjustment
Adjust the interpupillary distance by moving the left and right binocular tubes until you see a circular a single, circular field
of view.
3.2.2 Focusing
• Move the diopter ring to the Zero mark which is a silver line on the body tube. Change to the objective of the
lowest magnification or rotate the turret zoom to the lowest magnification (for RED30S and RED39Z).
Observe and rotate the focus knob until the image is in focus
• Change to the highest power objective or rotate the turret zoom to the highest magnification (for the RED30S and
RED39Z models). Observe with the right eyepiece only and rotate the focus knob until the image is in focus.
• Observe with the left eyepiece and adjust the diopter ring on the left body tube until a focused image is observed
via the left eyepiece. The image should now be clear for both eyes at any magnification.
3.2.3 Magnification and working distance
Magnification
The desired magnification can be achieved by using the following methods.
• Rotate the turret so the objectives or zoom are at the desired magnification.
• Replace the eyepieces with optional eyepieces of different magnifications.
The stereo microscope magnification can be calculated using the formula:
• Total magnification = Eyepiece magnification X Objective magnification.
Working distance
The working distance varies with the magnification in the following ranges:
• RED30S: 47mm
• RED39Z: 68mm

RED30 SERIES
4.1 Binocular stereo microscope head
For the RED30S and RED39Z, the binocular tubes and the objective turret are integrated to a single part called
“stereo microscope head”.
4.1.1 Stereo microscope head
• For RED30S model , the operator can select the desired magnification by rotating the objective turret.
• For RED30S either of two levels of magnification can be selected, The RED39Z model incorporates a zoom objec-
tive which allows the user to zoom continuously from the lowest magnification up to the highest magnification. If the
microscope has been adjusted according to the requirements in Section 3.2 of the Operation Instructions, the image
will be parfocal and require no further adjustment when the magnification is changed.
• For RED30S model, the stereo microscope head is integrated into the stand and cannot be removed.
For RED39Z model, the stereo microscope head can be removed from the stand. When installed it should be se-
cured by tightening the right lock screw.
4.1.2 Binocular tubes
• The interpupillary distance can be adjusted by moving the left and right binocular tubes. Please refer to the Section
3.2.1 of the Operation Instructions for the correct method of adjustment.
• The eyepiece is fixed in the body tube with a small set screw that prevents the eyepiece from falling out.
• The diopter ring is located on the left body tube. Please refer to the Section 3.2.2 of the Operation Instructions
for the correct method of adjustment.
4.2 Stand
• The focus knobs on both sides of the stand are used to bring the image in focus. Focusing is done with a pinion-and-
rack gearing mechanism. The tension of the focus knobs can be adjusted by using the tension adjustment ring inside
the right focus knob. The required hook wrench is supplied with the stereo microscope.
• Generally, the black/white contrast stage plate is used with the incident illumination. Use the frosted glass stage
plate with the transmitted illumination.
• There are controls on either side of the base which turn the incident and transmitted illumination on and off and adjust
the brightness. Both illuminators can be adjusted independently, so any combination of illumination can be selected.
• The main power switch is located at the back of the base.
4.3 Eyepieces
• Various eyepieces with different magnifications are available, including 5X, 10X, 15X, 20X and 30X. The stereo
microscope is generally supplied with a pair of 10X eyepieces.
• To replace the eyepieces, first loosen the lock screws and remove the existing eyepieces with the provided hex
wrench, and then install a new pair of eyepieces and tighten the lock screws. The lock screws should be adjusted
so the eyepieces will turn in the eyetubes, but will not pull out.

• Turn off the power switch after use, and put on the dustproof cover after the stereo microscope has cooled down.
• Do not operate the stereo microscope in a room with humidity higher than 75%.
• Remove dust or ordinary dirt on optical lens surfaces with a brush, rubber bulb blower and a moistened lens tissue.
• Use only optical lens tissues and optical lens cleaner (see below). Never clean a lens with a dry optical lens tissue.
Be sure to remove any dust before using lens tissue and cleaner.
• To remove stubborn oily or lipoid dirt (such as ngerprints), moist the lens tissue with a 3 to 7 ethanol-ether mixture
or a commercially available optical lens cleaning solution and then use it to wipe off the dirt.
• When cleaning an optical lens surface, wipe gently in a circle from the center to the edge.
5.2 Troubleshooting
Common fault Possible cause and remedy
Illuminator is not lit
Check if the power switch is turned on.
Check the connection between the power cable and the power supply.
Check if the fuse has blown; if yes, replace with the spare fuse or contact
your local distributor.
Check if the illuminator is burnt out; if yes, replace the illuminator or contact
your local distributor.
Check if the supply voltage is the same as the working voltage of the instrument
(100~240VAC 50/60Hz).
If it’s not caused by any of the above causes, contact your local distributor.
Bulb flashes
Loose contact of the illuminator plug socket. Connect the plug socket properly.
Fail to adjust focus
for specimen
Check if the specimen is so big that the stereo microscope does not have enough
space to adjust the focus.
Check if the tension adjustment ring is so loose that the body slides down due to
its deadweight. Tighten the tension ring with the supplied hook wrench until the
body holds in place but will still move easily when the focus knobs are turned
Check if the eyepiece or objective lenses are dirty. If yes, wipe the lens according
to the instructions in section 3.2 of Operation of the stereo microscopes.
Poor clarity
or obscure image
Failure to adjust the focus for the specimen accurately. Focus using the procedure
outlined in section 3.2.
Dirty objective lens. Wipe the lens according to the instructions in section 5.1
