製品の特徴
- Polarizing compound microscope with a built-in focusable Bertrand lens on a rotatable disc, suitable for geology, petrology, mineralogy, toxicology, pharmacology, forensics, and industrial inspection.
- Siedentopf binocular mount with WF10x and WF16x widefield eyepieces, offering 55 to 75mm interpupillary adjustment and a fixed 45-degree vertical inclination for ergonomic viewing. The 360-degree rotation capability facilitates sharing.
- Forward-facing triple nosepiece equipped with 4x, 10x, and 40xS DIN strain-free plan achromatic objectives, precision-ground and optimized for polarized light applications.
- Dual illumination system: polarizing illumination with a focusable Bertrand lens on a rotating disc, and Brightfield illumination with rheostat-controlled 20W halogen light.
- ラウンドstage with 360-degree rotation, featuring a nested coaxial coarse and fine focusing system. Tension-adjustable coarse focusing and a lock ring stopper protect slides and objectives from damage.

設定
- 開梱: すべての部品をパッケージから慎重に取り出してください。将来の輸送や保管のために、元のパッケージは保管しておいてください。
- 配置: Place the microscope on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, excessive dust, and vibrations. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
- ヘッドアセンブリ: Loosen the head locking screw on the microscope body. Gently insert the Siedentopf binocular head into the top opening, ensuring it is fully seated. Tighten the locking screw to secure the head.
- 接眼レンズの取り付け: Insert the desired pair of eyepieces (WF10x or WF16x) into the eyepiece tubes of the binocular head.
- 目的のインストール: Rotate the nosepiece until the lowest power objective (4x) is positioned over the stage. Carefully screw the objectives into the nosepiece threads in ascending order of magnification (4x, 10x, 40xS).
- 電源接続: Connect the power cord to the microscope's power input and then to a standard 110V AC outlet.
操作手順
Basic Operation (Brightfield)
- 電源オン: Turn on the microscope's power switch. Adjust the rheostat to a low illumination setting.
- Stage 調整: sを下げるtage using the coarse focus knob to create enough space to place a slide.
- Slide Placement: Place your specimen slide on the round graduated stage、sで固定するtageクリップ。
- Objective Selection: Rotate the nosepiece to select the 4x objective.
- フォーカス: 接眼レンズを覗きながら、ゆっくりとsを上げますtag粗動ノブを使って標本が焦点に合うまで回す view. Use the fine focus knob for precise focusing.
- 瞳孔間距離: Adjust the distance between the eyepiece tubes to match your interpupillary distance for comfortable viewing。
- 視度調整: If one eye is clearer than the other, adjust the diopter ring on one eyepiece until both eyes see a sharp image.
- 照明調整: Adjust the rheostat for optimal brightness. Use the iris diaphragm on the Abbe condenser to control contrast and resolution.
- 倍率の変更: Rotate the nosepiece to switch to higher power objectives (10x, 40xS). Make minor adjustments with the fine focus knob. The 40xS objective is spring-loaded to prevent damage to slides.

Polarizing Operation
The AmScope PZ200BA is specifically designed for polarizing microscopy. Ensure the polarizer and analyzer are engaged for polarized light observations.
- Engage Polarizer: Insert the polarizer into its designated slot below the condenser.
- Engage Analyzer: Insert the analyzer into the slot above the objectives, typically within the midist head.
- Bertrand Lens: For conoscopic observation (interference figures), engage the built-in Bertrand lens by rotating its disc. Use the centering controls for precise alignment.
- Stage Rotation: The round graduated stage can be rotated 360 degrees. Use the vernier scale for precise angular measurements, crucial for determining optical properties of anisotropic materials.
- Removing Polarizing Components: The polarizer, analyzer, and Bertrand lens can be removed from the optical path to revert to standard Brightfield microscopy.

メンテナンス
- クリーニング光学系: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or lens paper specifically designed for optics. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Never touch optical surfaces with bare fingers.
- クリーニングボディ: 顕微鏡本体を柔らかくて乾いた布で拭いてください。amp 布。 刺激の強い化学薬品や研磨剤の入ったクリーナーの使用は避けてください。
- ダストカバー: Always use the provided dust cover when the microscope is not in use to protect it from dust and debris.
- 電球の交換: If the halogen bulb burns out, ensure the microscope is unplugged and cool. Refer to the diagram in the full manual (if available) for specific instructions on accessing and replacing the bulb. Use only the specified replacement bulbs (6V/20W).
- ヒューズの交換: If the microscope does not power on, check the fuse. Ensure the microscope is unplugged. Replace with a fuse of the same rating.
- ストレージ： Store the microscope in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, remove eyepieces and objectives and store them in sealed containers to prevent dust and fungal growth.
トラブルシューティング
| 問題 | 考えられる原因 | 解決 |
|---|---|---|
| 照明なし | Power cord disconnected, bulb burnt out, fuse blown, rheostat set to minimum. | Check power connection, replace bulb, replace fuse, increase rheostat setting. |
| 画像がぼやけている/焦点が合っていない | Incorrect focus, objective not fully engaged, slide upside down, dirty optics. | Adjust coarse/fine focus, rotate objective until it clicks, reorient slide, clean lenses. |
| Uneven illumination/dark field | Iris diaphragm closed too much, condenser not centered, light source misaligned. | Open iris diaphragm, center condenser, check light source alignment. |
| Dust/spots in view | 接眼レンズ、対物レンズ、スライドにほこりが付着している。 | Clean eyepieces, objectives, and slide. Rotate eyepieces to determine if dust is on them. |
| No polarized light effect | Polarizer or analyzer not engaged/aligned. | Ensure polarizer and analyzer are inserted and correctly oriented (crossed polars). |
