How do I observe the specimen?
Sitting in your location with adequate illumination chosen
from the color filter wheel, the following basic rules should
be observed: Start with a simple observation at the lowest
magnification. Position the object or specimen in the middle
of the stage under the stage clips, centered over the lower
light. Focus the image by rotating the focus knob until a
clear image appears in the eyepiece.
Place the prepared slide directly under the objective on the
microscope stage, and secure it with the stage clips. The
prepared slide should be located directly over the lower
illumination. Look through the eyepiece, and carefully turn
the focus knob until the image appears clear and sharp.
Now you can select a higher magnification by rotating to
the 20x/400x objective turret. Higher levels of magnification
can be achieved by turning the objective turret to a higher
setting (45x/900x). Following this procedure creates a
steady increase of magnification without overpowering the
view of the object. The following magnifications should be
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, check the light source to make
sure that it illuminates. Use a microfiber cleaning cloth to
gently wipe the lenses off. If the stage is dirty with dust or
oil, carefully clean it off. Make sure that you only raise and
lower the stage using the focus adjustment knob.
How do I operate the illumination?
Locate the mirror/light on the base of the microscope. Flip
the mirror/light to the “on” position (with the light facing up)
and the light will illuminate. This microscope is equipped
with an incandescent light that illuminates the specimen
from below. 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 color-
less or transparent objects (e.g. sea salt).
How do I adjust my microscope correctly?
Place the microscope in a suitable location as described
above, and sit in a comfortable viewing position. Always
start each observation with the lowest magnification. Adjust
the distance of the microscope stage so that the stage is
in the lowest position, farthest away from the turret head.
Turn the objective turret until it clicks into place at the
lowest magnification (Objective 5x/100x). Note: Before
you change the objective setting, always make sure the
microscope stage is farthest away from 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/100x objective in the rotating head.
