6. Operation

1. Place a prepared specimen slide on the specimen stage and slide it into the clips, such that the clips hold the slide securely.

2. Switch on the LED – the base LED or reflective LED – to illuminate the specimen.

3. Turn the objective turret – the turret can be rotated both ways – to the desired magnification. Rotate the objective turret such that the objective is directly on top of the specimen. It is recommended to start with the least powerful magnification rate and select a more powerful objective if needed.

4. View through the eyepiece and rotate the focusing knob clockwise or anticlockwise until the image is sharp. Make sure the objective is clear from obstacles and does not hit the specimen while lowering the turret.

5. Zoom in on the image with the zoom dial.

REMARK

The arm can be swivelled for more ease-of-use. The body can be removed from the arm for transportation.

Viewing through the eyepiece requires sufficient light.

7. Using the Microscope with your Smartphone

You can easily take pictures of your specimen using your smartphone. To do so, slide the smartphone platform onto the body and place the smartphone onto the platform in such way, that the camera sits just above the eyepiece.

Now you can take pictures, record and even zoom through your smartphone.
