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

3.3 Modiﬁcation of stereo microscope

Replace the illuminator

• Before replacing the illuminator, be sure to turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cable.

• When replacing the Incident illumination for RED30S, ﬁrst use the 2mm hex wrench (included) to remove the

screws from the objective turret cover. Remove the turret cover and unscrew the retaining ring from the LED array,

and then unplug, remove and ﬁnally replace the LED array.

• When replacing the Incident illumination for RED39Z, ﬁrst remove the turret cover, glass and the ring, and then

Slide the LED parts out and unplug, remove and replace the LED array.

• When replacing the Transmitted illumination, ﬁrst take off the screw from bottom plate, remove the screw from

protect cover, and then slide the LED parts out and replace it, ﬁnally re-install the protect cover and bottom plate.

Unplug the stereo microscopes before making any modiﬁcations.

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.

5. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

5.1 Maintenance

The stereo microscope is limited to the following maintenance only:

• 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.
