Warning notice for a safe and correct method of use
This microscope is not suitable for children under 8 years, since it contains small parts, which pose a choking hazard to
young children. It is not a toy! It is pointed out to parents and teachers that the microscope is a scientific device. Cover slips,
microscope slides, and sharp instruments belong to the microscope. Children are not allowed to work with these, unless
supervised by adults, as there is a possible danger of getting hurt. Always follow the specified safety regulations! With the
colourful learning microscope made by Betzold you have the option to directly view specimens on microscope slides as well
as objects such as plants, coins or insects.
This is possible through the dual LED illumination, which enables you to light the object from below (transmitted light) as
well as from above (reflected light). Batteries make you independent from electric supply lines, and enables you to use it
outdoors. There are two different application options in one set of the colourful learning microscope, promising many hours of
fun and learning.
Maintenance, care, and storage of the microscope
WARNING:
To avoid fire or short circuit, never expose the microscope to dampness or moisture.
- Turn the light off whenever you do not need it, in order to prolong the life of the batteries.
Make sure, both lights are turned off, e.g. the switch is in the middle position.
- Clean the microscope exclusively with a soft cloth. Fingerprints and stains can be removed with a moistened cloth.
When it is necessary to clean the lenses, try to do it with a cotton-wool ball, very slightly moistened with alcohol.
Dry the lenses with a dry cotton-wool ball or with special cleaning paper.
- Store the microscope in a cool and dry place.
- Cover the microscope with the included dust cover, or put it back into its case whenever not in use.
- When you use it outside, make sure it is in an upright position, to prevent the eyepiece from falling out.
- Eyepiece and objective should be kept installed, to prevent dust getting into the tube.
- Store the unused microscope slides in the provided container. Always be careful with glass and sharp objects and keep
them inaccessible for small children.
- When the light begins to weaken, replace the type AA (Mignon LR6) batteries.
The LED lights have life time durability and should not have to be replaced.

- Do not keep used batteries in the battery holder for a longer period of time.
