LSM 710 Basic Operation

Turning On the System

 

Make sure the main power switch, systems switch and components switch are all on. The key should be turned on, please do not touch the key.

Turn on the X-Cite lamp next to the microscope. Turn on the Argon ion laser. Turn the key to the horizontal position and flip the small metal switch up. If the light is red lower the current control knob until it is green.

 

 

To load your sample push the arm of the microscope back until it holds in place (don't grab it by the condenser).
