Plug the adapter into a suitable socket and insert the connector into the interface (K) on the measuring microscope. The illuminator (F) lights up as soon as the adaptor is provided with power. 5. Slide the optional USB camera over the ocular tube and tighten it slightly using the set screws. 6. The assembly of your microscope is complete. HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH en(us) Page 14/28

15 Installing the measuring microscope Performance features The measuring microscope is used to measure particulate matter on the filter membranes of oil samples. The microscope is installed on a stable stand. The lens system consists of a micrometer eyepiece with 10x magnification and the objective lenses 4:1, 10:1 and 20:1. The magnifications available in sizes 40x, 100x and 200x can be adjusted mechanically using an objective lens turret. The measuring scale integrated into the eyepiece enables the size of the objects being examined to be precision-determined on a scale of 25 µm, 10 µm and 5 µm (see page 21). Item Name Description J) Eyepiece The monocular projects the intermediate image onto the viewer's retina. Consequently it is the interface between the microscope and the user. b) Tube Monocular tube A) Stand Carries all components. Main components: arm and base. I) Objective lens turret and objective lenses The turret contains specially sized holes with an internal thread for mounting the objective lenses. In so doing it enables the objective lenses to be "swiveled" into place. HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH en(us) Page 15/28

16 Installing the measuring microscope C) Specimen stage including x/y mechanical stage C) X/y mechanical stage The specimen stage generally consists of a square shaped plate featuring a hole or slit in the center through which the light from the light source can shine for the purpose of illuminating the specimen. The specimen slides are therefore guided precisely using the x/y mechanical stage adjustment knob. Like the height adjustment of the specimen stage, the x/y mechanical stage is equipped with a precision mechanism, enabling the specimens to be micrometer-precision-guided under the objective lens even at large magnifications by virtue of the x/y mechanical stage adjustment knob. The microscope has a specimen clamp. The specimen slides are clamped beneath it. E) D) H) G) X/y mechanical stage adjustment knob Coarse and fine adjustment knob The two adjustment knobs enable the microscope to be operated using one hand, with the lower knob being used for horizontal adjustment and the upper knob for vertical adjustment. This knob enables the specimen stage to be heightadjusted with micrometer precision. The coarse and fine adjustment is featured as a separate series of knobs, with the fine adjustment knob being smaller than and mounted onto the larger coarse adjustment knob. They enable the specimen to be precision-focused. HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH en(us) Page 16/28

17 Assembling the illuminator (cold light source) (optional) Assembling the illuminator (cold light source) (optional) Proceed as follows to install the illuminator: 1. The illuminator consists of a base unit with a 12 V 100 W halogen lamp and a fiber optic gooseneck. Please check the connection voltage according to the technical data on the type label. 2. The front of the base unit contains a mount for the fiber optic gooseneck. First loosen the setscrew on the mount so that the mounting pin can be slid into the mounting hole. Ensure that the flexible fiber optic arms face vertically upwards. Flatten the top of the mounting pin to secure it against twisting. Screw the setscrew in and tighten it gently. HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH en(us) Page 17/28

18 Assembling the illuminator (cold light source) (optional) 3. Plug the connector cable into the illuminator. 4. Switch on the illuminator using the rotary button [a] at the front and regulate the brightness. The illuminator has a fan to cool the lamp. This fan makes a small amount of noise when in operation. [a] 5. The illuminator is now ready for use. HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH en(us) Page 18/28

19 Operating the microscope Operating the microscope Switch on the cold light illuminator and set the illumination intensity desired using the dial. Position the fiber optic arms so that no shadows are cast on the specimen being examined. Fix the membrane to be examined along with the membrane support on the x/y mechanical stage. To do this, swivel the curved x/y mechanical stage arm outwards and then clamp the specimen slide in place. Adjust the interpupillary spacing of the two eyepiece tubes as required for viewing. To do this, slide the two tubes into one another or pull them apart as needed. The microscope can be operated using either the monocular or the camera. Rotate the turret to the objective lens with the lowest magnification and focus it on the specimen. Focusing takes place using the coarse and fine adjustment, which is operated using the wheels mounted on the right and left-hand sides of the stand. Coarse adjustment is done using the larger wheel. Fine adjustment is carried out using the smaller wheel located on top of the larger wheel for coarse adjustment. Dioptric compensation on the eyepieces is carried out to compensate for the difference in vision between the user s eyes. This has to be individually adjusted for everyone using the microscope. The x/y mechanical stage provides for adjustment in an X and Y direction. HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH en(us) Page 19/28

20 Performing a measurement Performing a measurement Three different objective lenses (magnification: 4:1, 10:1 and 20:1) can be selected. The eyepieces on the microscope possess a magnification of 10x. Both scale ratios are multiplied so that the total magnifications 40x, 100x and 200x result. This results in the following scale ratios: Objective lens Total magnification 1 scale graduation line corresponds to: 4 : 1 40x ~ 25 µm 10 : 1 100x ~ 10 µm 20 : 1 200x ~ 5 µm Place the filter membrane to be examined along with the membrane support on the specimen stage. If present, remove the see-through protective cover from the membrane support. Pull the spring-loaded x/y mechanical stage clip outwards using your finger and slip the membrane support into the holder. The membrane support is fixed in place as soon as you let go of the stage clip. Examining the specimen under the microscope is facilitated by the illuminator. Rotate the turret to the objective lens with the lowest magnification (4:1) and focus it on the specimen. Focusing is carried out using the coarse and fine adjustment knob. The micrometer eyepiece of the camera can be used to gauge the size of the specimen under the microscope. This is done by taking a reading of the particle size via the micrometer scale and multiplying the number of graduated scale lines by the scale associated with the respective magnification. The scale can also be found by referring to the type plate affixed to the back of the stand or on the camera. HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH en(us) Page 20/28
