Switching the microscope on / off

Primo Star:
• Switch on the microscope with the rotary knob (Fig. 5/5) and adjust the illuminator to the desired
intensity.
The selected intensity is indicated in five steps by the blue light-emitting diodes (Fig. 14/6) arranged on
both sides of the stand.
• After finishing work, switch off the microscope with the rotary knob and cover it with the dust cover.
• The smoothness of the coarse focusing drive (Fig. 14/25 and Fig. 15/30) is factory-adjusted, but you
can readjust it when required.
Primo Star iLED:
For transmitted-light applications:
Always turn the transmitted light / reflected light changeover switch first upward and then to
the desired position. By using force to turn it downward the reflected-light illuminator will be
damaged.
• Turn the transmitted light / reflected light changeover switch (Fig. 15/5) upward to the transmitted-
light position (Brightfield).
• Switch on the transmitted-light illuminator using the rotary knob (Fig. 15/10) and adjust the desired
illumination intensity.
The selected illumination intensity for transmitted light is indicated in five steps by the blue light-emitting
diodes (Fig. 15/9) arranged on both sides of the stand.
For reflected-light applications (fluorescence):
Always turn the transmitted light / reflected light changeover switch first upward and then to
the desired position. By using force to turn it downward the reflected-light illuminator will be
damaged.
• Turn the transmitted light / reflected light changeover switch (Fig. 15/5) upward to the reflected-light
position (Fluorescence).
• Switch on the reflected-light illuminator using the rotary knob (Fig. 15/6) and adjust the desired
illumination intensity.
