Unpacking and Setup

Assembly
LW Scientific packs each Revelation III Microscope with utmost care. Examine
the outer and inner containers for any visual damage. Retain all of the
packing material until you have examined and tested your new microscope. If
there is damage, please contact the shipping company, as our warranty does
not cover shipping damage. If you are uncertain who the shipper is, contact the distributor where you purchased the
microscope. Please retain all packaging material for future use. Carefully unpack** your Revelation III Microscope using
the following checklist for all the parts and accessories:
Caution: Unplug the microscope and let it cool down if recently in use before
opening the base of the microscope. When handling a new quartz lamp, be careful
not to touch the new lamp with your fingers. Oil and sweat on the bulb may cause it
to explode or shatter as it heats up.
Turn the scope on its side. (We recommend that you place a cushion or soft cloth under the microscope to protect
against damage.) Loosen the silver thumb screw located on the lamp compartment door until the door swings open.
Gently pull the old bulb out and discard.
Using a lint-free tissue or piece of cloth to hold the new lamp, install the bulb. Close and lock the bulb door, and plug the
microscope in to the appropriate AC outlet. Ensure that the new bulb is perfectly centered below the lens assembly by
turning the light on to the dimmest setting and looking upward through the vent holes in the bulb door.

INPUT: AC 110 or 220 / 50-60 HZ.
OUTPUT: 12v output supports from 20w quartz halogen G-4 bulb (LWS replacement part R3P-BLBH-1220)
FUSE: One 0.5-amp fuse protects the circuit board from electrical overload. The fuse is located on the bottom of the
scope. Spare fuses were included with your scope. When replacing the fuse, always install a new one of the same size
and amperage.
The circuit board, in the base of the unit, contains all the electrical functions. There are no user
repairable parts on the circuit board. If you suspect a faulty board, call LW Scientific’s technical
service department at 800-726-7345.

pull the STAGE LOCK LEVER towards the rear and downward. The stage should now move upward freely.
Remove the microscope head from the Styrofoam carton and pull off the protective covers from the
eyepiece tubes and head mount. Insert the head mount into the upper arm of the body. Using the
head retention screw, secure the head in place. Note: Do not over-tighten.
