Working Principle
The Student Dissecting Microscope KCX-152 operates using optical magnification and external-light illumination.
The microscope uses optical glass lenses to produce a magnified view of the specimen.
The binocular viewing system allows the user to observe through both eyes.
Interchangeable eyepieces provide the specified 10X–20X magnification options.
The mirror directs suitable external light toward the specimen.
The specimen is positioned on the large working stage.
The rack-and-pinion coarse focusing mechanism adjusts the optical system relative to the specimen.
The observer adjusts focus until the specimen image becomes clear.
This arrangement supports low-magnification examination of suitable biological materials and laboratory samples.
Basic Observation Procedure
Microscope Setup: Place the KCX-152 on a stable laboratory surface.
Specimen Selection: Choose a suitable biological or educational specimen.
Stage Preparation: Ensure the working stage is clean.
Specimen Placement: Position the specimen on the stage.
Hand Rest Adjustment: Attach or remove the hand rests according to the observation task.
Illumination Setup: Position the microscope near a suitable indirect light source.
Mirror Adjustment: Direct external light toward the specimen using the mirror.
Eyepiece Selection: Select the appropriate interchangeable eyepieces.
Initial Observation: Look through the binocular viewing system.
Coarse Focusing: Adjust the rack-and-pinion mechanism to bring the specimen into focus.
Specimen Examination: Observe the visible external features.
Magnification Change: Change eyepieces if a different supported magnification is required.
Focus Readjustment: Refocus after changing the optical configuration.
Observation Recording: Record the visible specimen characteristics.
Completion: Remove the specimen and clean the working stage.
Storage: Store the microscope in a clean, dry environment.
Safety note: Do not direct the illumination mirror toward the sun or use the microscope to view intense light sources.
