Welcome To The World Of Microscopy!
With the Discovery Zoom Lab Microscope Set, you can use magnifications ranging from
20x to 160x to see the extraordinary details in ordinary objects! Its 4x zoom feature lets
you smoothly transition between powers to fully explore your subject without losing focus.
This versatile microscope also has both upper and lower illumination to expand the types
of specimens you can investigate. Use the top light to study opaque specimens like coins,
sticks and insects. Use the bottom light to reveal unexpected structures in common
items like sand, salt and onion peels. This set will let you dive right into the world of
microscopy with prepared slides or launch your own investigations using the extensive lab
supplies and experiment guide! farthest away from the turret by rotating the focus knob.
Separating the stage and turret by rotating the focus knob will avoid causing damage to
the specimen slide or microscope. When starting an observation, always start with the 5x
objective in the rotating head.
How Do I Use My Microscope?
Before you use your microscope, make sure that the table, desk or surface that you place
it on is stable and is not subject to vibration. If the microscope needs to be moved, hold it
by the arm and base while carefully transferring it. Once the microscope is in a suitable
location and the batteries are installed in the compartment located in the base of the
microscope, check the light sources to make sure that they illuminate. Use a microfiber
cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lenses off. If the stage is dirty with dust or oil, carefully
clean it off.
How Do I Operate The Illumination?
This microscope is equipped with top and bottom lights that illuminate the specimen from
above and below. The power switch for the light is on the side of the base and a dimmer
control is located on the platform under the stage. This dimmer allows you to adjust the
brightness of the light. The color filter wheel is located in the middle of the microscope
stage. The filters help you when you are observing very bright or clear specimens. Using
these filters, you can choose various brightness levels and colors. This helps you better
recognize the components of colorless or transparent objects (e.g. sea salt).
