General
This is a digital refl ected light micro-
scope. You hold it in your hand and
can place the bottom section (attach-
ment piece) on all kinds of things in
order to look at them. Observe, for
example, leaves, microorganisms,
your skin or hair, and much more. It
works best when the thing that you’re
looking at (also called the “object”) is
fl at. You can also view the enlarged
pictures on your computer, as well as
take and save them there.
Installation
Insert the product CD into your PC’s
DVD/CD drive. The driver installa-
tion starts automatically. Plug the
hand microscope’s USB connector
(10) into your computer’s USB slot.
The lighting (7) turns on and your PC
detects the hardware, which is then
installed. Soon, the “AMCAP” icon
appears on the desktop. Now you
can use the hand microscope.
Live Observation
Press the camera shutter (1) for
your hand microscope. A (in general
blurry) live image is displayed on the
monitor.
Hold the hand microscope by the
casing and place the attachment
piece (6) on an object, for example a
piece of paper with writing on it. Turn
the focus ring (5) to make the live
picture sharper (this is called focus-
ing). For a fl at object, there are two
focus settings with sharp images,
which correspond to two different
magnifi cations. For low-power mag-
nifi cation, the lens (8) is positioned
high, away from the object. For high-
power magnifi cation, it is positioned
lower, closer to the object. You can
adjust the magnifi cation from low to
high by turning the focus ring clock-
wise. To turn it from low magnifi cation
to high, turn the focus ring counter-
clockwise. You’ll only know when you
have the exact measurement value
when you’ve achieved a clear picture
of an object (e.g., as shown on your
computer screen or printed out on a
piece of paper).
Turn the microscope until you have a
picture that is straight and right side
up.
