Can I view living specimens with this microscope?

How do I clean the lenses?
Use a soft lens brush to remove dust, then wipe gently with lens paper and a drop of cleaning solution. Avoid touching the lenses with fingers.
Why is the image blurry at high magnification?
Ensure the slide is properly focused using the coarse knob first, then fine-tune with the fine focus. Also verify the specimen is within the focal plane.
Is the microscope compatible with smartphone adapters?
