ARGO assembles fast and easy, and can be
changed from a telescope, to a viewer, to a
microscope.
Let's get started...
To make ARGO the Telescope (mirror
inverted):
1. Put the Telescope Tube and Mount (10)
onto the Tripod (6), and attach by turning
the Tripod Attaching Knob (5) clockwise until
snug. Spread the Tripod legs apart and set the
ARGO on a steady table or on the ground.
2. Release the Up and Down Locking Knob
(4) by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Look through the Aiming Ring (3) and put
the object you want to look at in the middle.
4. Flip the Right or Left Eye Adjustment (2)
so that you can see through the telescope
comfortably. Please note that only one of the
eyepiece tubes has a lens, the other tube has
no optics but is there to allow both eyes to line
up to the ARGO properly.
5. Look through the Eyepiece (1), and con-
tinue to twist the focuser right or left until the
image looks sharp.
6. To hold the ARGO steady, tighten the Up
and Down Locking Knob (4) by turning it
clockwise until firm.
To make ARGO the Viewer or Microscope:
1. Put the Telescope Tube and Mount (10)
onto the Tripod (6), and attach by turning
the Tripod Attaching Knob (5) clockwise until
snug. Spread the Tripod legs apart and set the
ARGO on a steady table or on the ground.
2. Attach the Microscope Adapter Tube (9) by
sliding it on the Telescope Tube and Mount
(10) until snug.
3. Release the Up and Down Locking Knob
(4) by turning it counterclockwise and level
the ARGO to a comfortable observing angle
and then tighten it by turning clockwise.
4. Open the Slide Holder/Cap (7) and place a
Microscope Slide into the holder.
5. Close the Slide Holder/Cap (8) and aim
the ARGO near to a simple light source (e.g.
a flashlight).
6. Flip the Right or Left Eye Adjustment (2) so
that you can see through the ARGO comforta-
bly. Please note that only one of the eyepiece
tubes has a lens, the other tube has no optics
but is there to allow both eyes to line up to the
telescope properly.
7. Look through the Eyepiece (1), and con-
tinue to twist the focuser right or left until the
image looks sharp.
