magnified but somewhat darker and sometimes hard to find the object.
The most enjoyable views can be at the lower powers which have a wider
field of view and brighter image. Also, the microscope must be directly on
the object.
Illumination
—The LEDs of the microscope are automatically turned on
when the USB cable is inserted into the USB port on your computer. There
is no illumination adjustment on this microscope but you may be able to
position the microscope over the object you are viewing at different angles (or
positions) to give the optimum illumination.
Stand — You can use the microscope by
holding it with your hand. However, if you
want a steadier view for looking or imaging
you may prefer to mount the microscope in
the stand provided.
Hold the microscope as shown on page 4 and
then push it into the holding bracket on the
stand. The correct positioning of the stand
bracket is shown to the left.
You can then position the stand at various angles by loosening the locking
knob and then retightening it.

Before using your microscope for viewing or imaging on your computer
screen, you will have to ensure the driver is recognized by your computer. Your
microscope is a “Plug and Play” type where the computer should automatically
recognize the driver type on Microsoft Windows 7, XP & Vista operating
systems as well as most MACs version 10.4.9 and later operating systems.
