Operation
SD card (not included in delivery)
If you want to store photos or videos with your micro-
scope, you need an SD card up to 32 GB.
Insert the card into the slot (Fig. 1, 12) until it clicks into
place. You can also do this when the device is switched on.
To remove it, press the SD card until you hear a clicking
sound. Now you can easily pull it out.
If the shutter button is pressed when the SD card is not
inserted, an error message appears: „No card".
General information
Select a suitable location before starting to set up your
microscope. First make sure that your microscope is stand-
ing on a stable, vibration-free surface. In order to put the
microscope into operation, the power supply provided must
be connected to the microscope (Fig. 1, 7/11) and a 230 V
plug socket. The appropriate illumination is switched on
using the switch (Fig. 1, 20/21), and the brightness is con-
trolled for optimum illumination of the specimen by turning
the selection wheel.
NOTE!
For safety reasons, please only use the power supply
provided. Other power supplies may not meet the required
technical specifications. Damage to the device caused by
other power supplies is not covered by the guarantee.
Electric LED illumination with dimmer
Transmitted light illumination (Fig. 1, 6) is used for trans-
parent specimens (specimens on microscope slides). Select
incident light illumination (Fig. 1, 15) to observe opaque
objects. The simultaneous use of transmitted and incident
light illumination is only advisable with semi-transparent
objects. This mode is not recommended for transmitted
light objects on slides since too much light may be reflected
on the slide.
Colour filter wheel
The colour filter wheel (Fig. 1, 8) beneath the stage can
be used to influence the image quality when observing
transparent specimens. Fine details are displayed better
depending on the colour and object. A coloured lower light
in combination with a white upper light can also optimise
image details when observing objects under incident light
(e.g. transparent objects).
Observation
Turn the nosepiece (Fig. 1, 3) to select the 4x objective for
observing objects. Depending on the object, select upper or
lower lighting for optimum illumination.
To do this, place a permanent specimen directly under
the objective on the stage (Fig. 1, 5) by clamping it into
the cross table (Fig. 1, 16). To do this, first press the lever
for the specimen clamp holder (Fig. 1, 17) to the side,
place the permanent specimen on the cross table and
let the clamp holder carefully return to the permanent
specimen. The object to be observed must lie exactly
above/below the illumination. To achieve this, there are
two knurled screws on the cross table, the so-called cross
table drives (Fig. 1, 18 and 19). By turning these screws
it is possible to position the object exactly, to the right
or left (Fig. 1, 19) and to the front or back (Fig. 1, 18).
To focus the specimen, first turn the coarse focusing knob
(Fig. 1, 10 / inner knob). Precise focusing is achieved with
the fine focusing knob (Fig. 1, 10 / outer rotary knob).
To change the magnification, turn the nosepiece (Fig. 1, 3)
onto the 10x objective. Now focus the image with the fine
focus only. For the 40x objective, proceed in the same way
as for the 10x objective.
The dimmers (Fig. 1, 20 and 21) can be used to optimally
adjust the contrast and quality of the image of the object
under observation.
Turn the nosepiece (Fig. 1, 3)
increased magnification is desired.
NOTE!
Incidentally: The higher the level of magnification, the
more light is required for good image quality.
Incident light illumination is optimised for the 4x objective.
The specimen is generally no longer fully illuminated if the
10x or 40x objective is used.
Digital zoom (up to 4x)
The screen magnification can be increased to a maximum
of 4x by „stretching" with two fingers. By „pushing togeth-
er" the image can be reduced back to its original size.
Show/hide on-screen menu
By pressing on a free area of the screen, the menu can be
shown or hidden.
Connection to a PC/Laptop
You can transfer images and videos stored on an SD card
to a PC/laptop.
To do this, put the microscope into operation. Then plug the
USB cable supplied into the USB connection of the micro-
scope (Fig. 1, 13) and into a free socket on the PC/laptop.
