Preparing the microscope for use 

Carefully remove the items from its packaging and place them on a flat, 
firm surface. Please do not expose the microscope to direct sun light, high 
temperatures, damp, dust or acute shake. Make sure the table or surface is 
flat and horizontal

When moving the microscope, use the left hand to hold the transport 
handle and hold the base of the microscope with the right hand

Hold the microscope at the top of the stand arm when it needs be 
moved. Holding the microscope by its stage or focusing knob will 
damage the microscope

Caution! 

If the bacterial solution or water splatters over the stage, objective 

or head, please pull out the power cord immediately and dry the microscope 

Assembling Steps 

Mounting the objectives 

1. 

Rotate the coarse focusing knob to lower the stage to its lowest position 

2. 

Install the objectives into the objective nosepiece from the lowest magnification to the highest in a clockwise 
direction from the rear side of the microscope. When using the microscope, start using the low magnification 
objective (4x or 10x) to find the specimen and focus, then continue with a higher magnification objective to 
observe in more detail

Placing the eyepieces 

The 360° rotatable heads are equipped with WF10x eyepiece(s) (H). Please remove the screw before taking out the 
eyepiece to prevent damage

1. 

Remove the cover(s) of the eyepiece tube(s) 

2. 

Insert the eyepiece(s) into the eyepiece tube(s) 

3. 

Lock the eyepiece(s) with a hexagon screw
