1. Remove the Styrofoam container from the carton.
2. Carefully remove the microscope and accessories from container and set them on a table, desk, or other flat surface.
3. Remove bag covering from microscope.
4. Remove cap from eyepiece tube (2).
5. Remove the eyepieces from plastic bags.
6. Insert the WF 10x eyepiece into the eyepiece tube (2)
7. Plug the AC adapter into the socket on the back of the base (8).
8. Insert the plug end of the AC adapter into the proper power source.

Additionally the microscope can be powered with three AA batteries.

• Open the battery compartment on the base (8) of the microscope.
  Install the three AA batteries (supplied)

and close the battery compartment.

MICROSCOPE OPERATION

Before viewing specimens, please read these sections thoroughly regarding focusing, changing power (magnification), using the stage and adjusting illumination.

VIEWING A SPECIMEN

Carefully place a specimen slide under the stage clips (5) and center the specimen. Images will be observed upside down and reversed right to left. Prepared slides are included with your microscope to help you get started.

You are now ready to focus and view a specimen. Be careful not to damage the specimen slide.. When using higher powers while focusing, make sure the objective lens (4) does not hit the slide or object being viewed.

FOCUSING AND CHANGING POWER (MAGNIFICATION)

1. Always start with lowest power (4x objective lens and WF 10x eyepiece). This combination yields the lowest power.

2. Place a specimen slide (or object) on the stage (6) directly under the objective lens (4). Gradually turn the focus knob (11) until the specimen is in focus.

3. For higher powers, rotate the nosepiece (3) to change the objective lens (4) to 10x or 40x. This will yield a greater magnification. Gradually turn the focus knob (11) to refocus on the specimen.
   NOTE: You should first turn the focus knob to lower the stage, before turning the objective carriage.

4. You can replace the WF 10x eyepiece with the WF 20x eyepiece to obtain three additional high power magnifications, including (800x) the highest power possible.

ADJUSTING THE

ILLUMINATION

Specimens of different sizes, thickness and color variations will require different levels of illumination. In order to adjust illumination, turn the illuminator adjustment wheel (14) to either increase or decrease the illumination. The illuminator adjustment wheel (14) has three illumination settings (I being the lowest and III the highest). Optimal lighting is found by making adjustments and experimenting.

DIAPHRAGM

The disc diaphragm (12) has six diameter openings. These openings allow you to adjust the amount of light passing through the specimen. Adjusting the light can help you maximize brightness, contrast, etc.

CARE, MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY

Your Celestron Labs microscope is a precision optical instrument and should be treated with care at all times. Follow these care and maintenance suggestions and your microscope will need very little maintenance throughout its lifetime.

• When you are done using your microscope, remove any specimens left on the stage.
• Turn off the power and unplug the power cord (if applicable).
  Always place the plastic bag or dust cover over the microscope when not in use to help keep it clean.
• Store the microscope in a dry, clean place.
• Be very careful if using your microscope in direct sunlight to prevent damage to the microscope or your eyes.
• To carry your microscope, place one hand on the "arm" of the microscope and the other hand under the base for support. Do not grasp your microscope by the focuser knob or head.

• Clean the outside surfaces (metal and plastic) with a moist cloth.
  Always unplug any cords before cleaning.

• Never clean optical surfaces with cloth or paper towels as they can scratch optical surfaces easily. Instead, use an air blower or camel hair brush.
  To clean fingerprints off of optical surfaces, use a lens cleaning agent and lens tissue available at most photo supply stores. When cleaning, do not rub in circles as this may cause streaks or scratches.

• Never disassemble your microscope or clean internal optical surfaces. Only qualified technicians at the factory or an authorized repair facility should attempt these repairs.
• When handling glass specimen slides, use care, as the edges can be sharp.

YOUR MICROSCOPE HAS A TWO YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY. FORMORE DETAILED INFORMATION, PLEASE VISIT
