Introduction:
This stereo microscope is well designed and sturdily built. It has high quality optics and precision mechanics. The inclined head rotates 360 degrees for comfortable viewing. The S90014 series microscopes include 10x widefield eyepieces, and come in a variety of magnification and illumination configurations (see chart below). There are three types of illumination in the S90014 series: Cordless LED, Fluorescent, and Halogen. USB/Analog model S90014G is also available, and includes a seperate users guide for the software. LED and Halogen models come

Assembly (fluorescent models only):
Fluorescent models in the S90014 series include a fluorescent ring lamp. Attach the ring lamp to the objective turret by sliding the lamp over the turret, and securing in place with the 3 phillips (+) screws. Your microscope is now assembled and ready for use.
Three Way Illumination:
All S90014 series microscopes have a 3 way illumination switch. Your choices are:
A.Upper and lower lamps on simultaneously
B.Upper lamp only
C.Lower lamp only
Using your microscope:
Turn the microscope on using the on/off switch. Place your sample on the stage plate and look through the eyepieces. Adjust the focusing knob until your specimen is in focus. Adjust the interpupillary distance of your eyepieces utilizing the “folding” motion of the head. Both eyes should be focusing on your sample. If one eye appears out of focus, focus on the specimen with your right eye only. Once in focus with the right eye, close that eye and look at the sample with your left eye. If sample is out of focus, use the di- opter adjustment on the left eyetube to bring it into focus. Once this is done, your micro- scope is ready for use and dioptic differences have been adjusted. There are two magnifi- cation settings on your microscope, to change the magnification, rotate the objective turret 90 degrees. The microscope comes with a frosted stage plate, and a black and white stage plate. The frosted plate is used on transparent specimens that light can pass through. Use the black and white stage plate for macro objects that require light from the top. Try viewing your specimen with both sides of the black and white plate to get the best image.
Lamp replacement:
WARNING: Unplug the microscope from the wall outlet, or remove the batteries
from your microscope before replacing your bulbs! Do not touch the new bulb with your bare fingers. Use a tissue or surgical glove. Oils from the skin will lessen the life of your bulb.
HALOGEN & LED MODELS: To replace the upper bulb, unscrew the black lamp housing behind the objective turret. Pull the bulb straight out, and push the new bulb into the lamp socket. Remove the stage plate to expose the lower bulb. Remove the bulb by pulling to the left, and push the new bulb into the lamp socket.
FLUORESCENT MODELS: To replace the ring lamp, remove the single phillips (+) screw which attaches the lamp to the lamp housing. Pull the lamp straight down, and push the new lamp straight up. Secure in place with the phillips screw. Remove the stage plate to expose the lower bulb. Remove the bulb by pulling straight forward, and push the new bulb into the lamp socket.
