GETTING STARTED

Open the plastic case and carefully remove the microscope placing one hand around the microscope arm
and one under the base. Place on a flat, sturdy surface.
1. Remove the plastic dust cap from the eyepiece (O)
2. Unscrew at least one screw holding in the rubber cover on the base (V) and install the two AA batteries
(not included) See Fig. 2
Figure 2
Figure 3
CAUTION: Take care to install the batteries
in the correct orientation. Follow battery
manufacturer's precautions. Do not install batteries
backwards, or mix new and used batteries.
3. You are now ready to use your microscope!
OBSERVING
1. Lower the Stage (S). Then rotate the Objective
Nosepiece (Q) until the shortest Objective (10X)
is over the stage opening as shown in Fig. 3.
2. Place one of the Prepared Specimen Slides
(I) under the Stage Clips (T), and position
the specimen over the Stage opening.
3. Look through the Eyepiece (O) and slowly
turn the Focus Knob (W) until the specimen
comes into focus.
4. Adjust the Mirror or Bottom Illuminator (U)
to change the amount of light shining
through the specimen to optimize the image.
5. To increase the magnification, lower the
Stage once again and rotate the Nosepiece to
line up either the 60X or 120X Objective.
NOTE: Always make sure to lower the Stage
before rotating the Nosepiece to change the
Objective power. This will ensure the Objective
will not be damaged by contacting the Stage.
NOTE: The view through the Eyepiece will
appear upside down and reversed from left to
right. Take this into consideration when moving
the Specimen Slide around on the Stage.
CAUTION: When finished observing using
the Light Bulb Illuminator, be sure to flip the
Illuminator over 180°, turning off the lamp
ensuring a long life of the bulb.
