Quick Fact - The highest magni cation
is not always the best for every specimen!
How do I observe the specimen?
Sitting in your location with adequate
illumination chosen from the color
filter wheel, the following basic rules
should be observed: Start with a simple
observation at the lowest magnification.
Position the object or specimen in the
middle of the stage under the stage
clips (Fig. 3), centered over the lower
LED light (Fig. 7). Focus the image by
rotating the focus knob (Fig. 4) until a
clear image appears in the binoviewer
eyepiece.
NOTE: The higher the magnification,
the more light you will require for a good
image quality.
Quick Fact - The item you want to
observe with the microscope is known
as the object or specimen.
Place the prepared slide directly under
the objective on the microscope stage
(Fig. 2) securing with the stage clips
(Fig 3). The prepared slide should
be located directly over the lower
illumination (Fig. 6). Look through the
binoviewer eyepiece and carefully turn
the focus knob (Fig. 4) until the image
appears clear and sharp. Now you
can select a higher magnification by
changing the WF binoviewer eyepieces
to the 16X (Fig. 14). When the WF
16X lenses are inserted in the barrel
of the rotating head, the magnification
is increased by 62%. Higher levels
of magnification can be achieved by
turning the objective turret (Fig. 9) to
a higher setting (10x or 40x). For best
results, return the WF 10x eyepieces
to the lowest power of magnification
before changing the power on the
turret. Replacing the WF 10x eye pieces
upon every rotation of the turret allows
for easier transitions in magnification.
Following this procedure creates a
steady increase of magnification
without overpowering the view of the
object. The following magnifications
should be considered: 80x, 128x, 200x,
320x, 800x, then 1280x.
Each time the magnification changes
(due to eyepieces or objective
change), the image sharpness must be
readjusted with the focus knob (Fig. 4).
When doing this, be careful because
if you move the microscope stage too
quickly, the objective and the slide could
come into contact and cause damage
to the slide or microscope.
For transparent objects (e.g. protozoa),
light is projected by the lower LED light,
traveling from below the stage, through
the objective and eyepieces, and finally
into your eye. This process of light
transmission is known as microscopy.
Many microorganisms found in water,
plant components, and the smallest
animal parts are transparent in nature.
Opaque specimens, on the other hand,
will need to be prepared for viewing.
Opaque specimens can be made
transparent by a process of treatment
and penetration with the
materials (media), or by slicing. You can
read more about creating specimens in
the following experiment sections.
Dark field observation describes a
technique of illumination using your dark
scatter field filters (10x, 40x) and your light
condenser that allows you to enhance
the contrast of your objects / specimens.
By transmitting the scattered light from
your specimen and blocking all directly
transmitted light, a unique visual effect
is created where your object / specimen
stands out against a dark, almost black,
background.
How do I take photos of the specimen?
Your microscope has
mobile phone adapter so that you
can take photographs of an object /
specimen. First make sure your object /
specimen is in focus and at the desired
magnification. Then simply remove one
of the eyepieces, attach the adapter
and mount your mobile phone on it so
that the camera lens is pointing down
through the eyepiece barrel. Focus your
camera and take the picture. You can
then save these photos and / or share
them with your friends through email,
texting or social networking.
If you have access to compatible
imaging software, you can also use a
method called "False Color Imaging"
to create three-color images that
show your object / specimen in colors
different from reality or from what you
would observe in a full-color (true-color)
photograph. This technique is used
to help certain features of an object
or specimen stand out and be more
distinct, so they can be more easily
observed and studied.

Cleaning Tips
correct
Ensure your microscope has a long
service life. Clean the lenses (objective
and eyepieces) only with a soft lint-free
cloth (e.g, microfiber). Do not press
hard as this might scratch the lens. Ask
your parents to help if your microscope
is really dirty. The cleaning cloth should
be moistened with cleaning fluid and
the lens wiped clean using very little
pressure. Make sure your microscope
is always protected against dust and
dirt. After use, leave it in a warm room to
dry. Then return it to the carrying case
provided.
This microscope can be the gateway to
a fun, creative, learning process and will
open the door to advanced knowledge
a special of the world around you. Allowing you
to explore the various fields of science
from Biology to Botany to Chemistry
and beyond, so have fun exploring the
exciting world of science.

Introduction
Here are a few tips about how to take
a better look at the wonderful world
of microorganisms and crystals. For
example, you'll learn how to prepare
your object / specimen so that you
can look at it with the microscope.
The numerous experiments described
should make you curious and want to
use your microscope more.
What Kind of Objects?
With a magnifying glass, you can
look at non-transparent (i.e. opaque)
objects, for example, small animals,
parts of plants, tissues, etc. Here,
the light falls onto the object and is
reflected back through the magnifying
lens and into your eye. With your
microscope, however, you can also
observe transparent objects, in which
the light from the lamp goes through the
opening on the stage and the prepared
