Ten Key Strategies for Extending the Service Lifespan of Professional Metallurgical Microscopes
1. If conditions permit, it is recommended that your laboratory should have three protective conditions: shock resistance (away from the earthquake source), moisture resistance (using air conditioning and dryers), and dust prevention (laying a floor on the ground); Power supply: 220V ± 10%, 50HZ; temperature: 0 ° C-40 ° C.
2. When focusing, be careful not to let the objective lens touch the sample to avoid scratching the objective lens.
3. Do not switch the objective lens when the center of the circular hole on the stage pad is far away from the center of the objective lens, in order to avoid scratching the objective lens.
4. When adjusting the brightness of a microscope, it is important to avoid sudden changes in brightness or excessive brightness, as it can affect the lifespan of the light bulb and also damage vision.
5. All (function) switching should be done lightly and accurately.
6. When shutting down, adjust the brightness to low.
7. Non professionals should not adjust the lighting system (filament position lamp) to avoid affecting the imaging quality.
8. When replacing halogen lamps, pay attention to high temperatures to avoid burns; Be careful not to directly touch the glass body of the halogen lamp with your hands.
9. When not in use, adjust the objective lens to the low state through the focusing mechanism.
10. When not in use, do not immediately cover the dust cover. Wait for it to cool down before covering, and pay attention to fire prevention. The above points are just some places that should be paid special attention to. I hope everyone should be careful and attentive during the use of the microscope. If you encounter any difficulties while using the microscope that you cannot solve on your own, you can immediately contact the microscope manufacturer by phone to find a solution.
