Einleitung
My microscope is old (very old) and before throwing it away, why not teardown it?
NB: If you notice that there's too many errors (in language, mostly), please correct me. Thanks.
Werkzeuge
-
-
The microscope package (that's right, some items were lost and the box suffered)
-
The back of the box with all its items.
-
The useful piece of the microscope package: the microscope (not very surprising...)
-
-
-
Now, let's begin the operation: we'll begin with the pedestal. No need for screwdrivers, you just have to pull it.
-
After this, there's a screw. Let's remove it.
-
Once you did it, the battery compartment can be removed.
-
Note: if you want to remove the pedestal completely, you may need to cut the both wires.
-
-
-
Then, this rotative piece is, in a side, a mirror and in the another, a lamp (hence the 1.5x2 batteries in the step 2).
-
To remove it, you need pull a side. The rest will come alone.
-
The picture is a little fuzzy but we can see:
-
The bulb.
-
The support of this rotative piece.
-
The battery.
-
The cover which prevents the bulb to fall.
-
The mirror and the bulb location
-
-
-
Now, remove the big Phillips screw here (actually, you can loosen it then remove the nut in the other side). Don't be worried if it's a little hard to pull the screw.
-
-
-
Next step: remove the plate (it's here that you put the item to analyze): 2 Phillips screws.
-
-
-
This piece allows you to change the growth. 1 screw.
-
If you turn this piece, the growth will be modified thanks to these magnifying glasses (red circles)
-
To remove them, you need to use a sharp piece (e.g a pen) and press on the 3 holes marked on blue.
-
-
-
This mechanical wheel allows you to hang over or hold off the lens in order to improve the clearness.
-
If you like unscrew whatever you find, there are 2 screws.
-
-
-
The lens which enlarges the item to analyze from 12 to 18 times.
-
A tube, without magnifiers.
-
-
-
Here, that was the consequences when you lend me a microscope. RIP.
-
In the bottom right corner, you can see the perpetrators of this teardown.
