Leica microscope is a precision Optical instrument. In order to ensure the normal functioning of microscope system, Chain Energy has specially prepared this procedure. Details are as follows:
Leica microscopes are used by dedicated personnel who are responsible for daily maintenance and upkeep. No one is allowed to debug the microscope without permission.
The operation steps and daily maintenance of the Leica microscope system are as follows:
One· Microscope section
1· Remove the dust cover and turn on the power.
2· Place the sample on the stage pad and adjust the coarse/fine adjustment knob to focus until the observed image is clear.
3· Adjust the position of the stage, find the desired field of view, and perform metallographic analysis.
Two· Computer and Image Analysis System
Turn the observation/lighting switch knob on the metallographic microscope to the PHOTO position, and the information observed in the metallographic microscope will be converted to the video interface and camera. Turn on the computer, start the image analysis software, and real-time images from the metallographic microscope can be observed. Once the relevant field of view is found, it will be collected and processed.
Three· Daily maintenance, upkeep, and precautions
To ensure the service life and reliability of the system, the Leica microscope should pay attention to the following matters:
1· The laboratory should have three protective conditions: shockproof (away from the earthquake source), moisture-proof (using air conditioning and dryers), and dustproof (laying the floor on the ground)
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 pad circular hole on the stage is far from the center position of the objective lens to avoid scratching the objective lens.
4· Brightness adjustment should not be too high or too low, as it may affect the lifespan of the light bulb and also damage vision.
5· All function switches should be light and in place.
6· When turning off, turn the brightness to the minimum.
7· Non professionals should not adjust the lighting system 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 turned off and not in use, adjust the objective lens to the lowest state through the focusing mechanism.
10· When shutting down and not in use, do not immediately cover the dust cover. Wait until it cools down before covering, and pay attention to fire prevention.
11· Place infrequently used optical components in a drying dish.
12· Non professionals should not attempt to wipe the objective lens and other optical components. The objective lens can be wiped with a Cotton wool swab dipped in a 1:1 ratio (anhydrous alcohol: ether) mixed liquid after drying. Do not use other liquids to avoid damaging the objective lens.
