Congratulations! You’ve chosen one
of the highest quality microscopes
available for young explorers. Read
the following instructions carefully
to get the greatest benefi t from your
precision instrument. Then try out the
experiments to begin your investigation
of the fascinating world around you.
How do I use my microscope?
Before you use your microscope, make
sure that the table, desk or whatever
surface that you want to place it on is
stable, and is not subject to vibration. If
the microscope does need to be moved,
use the arm and base for support while
carefully transferring it.
Install three “AA” batteries (not included)
in the battery compartment on the
bottom of the microscope. Open battery
door on the bottom of the microscope
and insert the batteries according to the
displayed +/- information. Snap-close
the battery compartment door.
Once the microscope is in a suitable
location and batteries installed, check
the light sources to make sure that
they both illuminate by toggling the
light switch (Fig. 13) to the ALL position
(indicated by the I,ʽʽ0ʼʼ, and II). Use a
cleaning cloth (e.g., microfi ber) to gently
wipe the lenses off. If the stage (Fig. 5)
is dirty with dust or oil, carefully clean
it off.
The stage is raised and lowered only by
using the focus adjustment knob (Fig 4).
How do I operate the LED illumination?
This microscope is equipped with
two modern LED lights (light-emitting
diodes) that illuminate the specimen
from the top and below the stage
(Fig. 5) You can use different lighting
techniques to illuminate objects and
specimens from opaque to transparent.
Locate the light switch (Fig. 13) on the
base of the microscope. Toggle the
switch to the fi rst position (indicated
by the I), and the lower LED light (Fig.
10) will illuminate. Move the Toggle to
the second position (indicated by the
0) to turn off all illumination. Move the
toggle to the fi nal position (indicated by
II), and both LED lights (Fig. 10 & 11)
will illuminate.
The color fi lters wheel (Fig. 7) is
located below the microscope stage
(Fig. 5). Filter wheels help you observe
very bright or clear specimens. Using
these fi lters (blue, yellow, red and
clear), you can choose from various
colors. The fi lters wheel also has
four different size apertures so you
can adjust the brightness levels on
objects / specimens. Filter wheels help
you better recognize components of
colorless or transparent objects (e.g.,
grains of starch, protozoa). Rotating the
fi lter wheel in combination with toggling
the lower light or both lights on/off will
allow you to view the object / specimen
and achieve the desired effect.
How do I adjust my microscope
correctly?
Place on a suitable location as
described above and sit in a
comfortable viewing position. This
microscope includes a rotating head
(Fig. 3), which allows for easy viewing
in multiple positions as well as sharing
with others the amazing images you
have discovered with your microscope.
Always start each observation with
the lowest magnifi cation. Adjust the
microscope stage (Fig. 5) so that the
stage is in the lowest position. Turn
the objective turret (Fig. 8) until it clicks
into place at the lowest magnifi cation
(Objective 4x). Note: Before you
change the objective setting, always
move the microscope stage (Fig. 5)
to its lowest position by rotating the
focus knob (Fig. 4). Lowering the stage
by rotating the focus knob will avoid
causing any damage to the specimen
slide or microscope. When starting an
observation always start with the WF
10X eyepiece (Fig. 1) in the rotating
head (Fig. 3).
Quick Fact - The highest magnifi cation
is not always the best for every specimen!
