7.3 Illumination
The microscope is equipped with two independent ring lights.
Each ring light is controlled by a separate knob on the side of
the microscope. While the microscope is connected to a
power source, the ring lights will operate independent of the
microscope’s power switch. The knob engraved with the
number 1 controls the outer ring light which provides diffuse
illumination which is suitable for most observation as it more
even. The knob engraved with the number 2 controls the inner
ring light which provides direct illumination which is well-
suited for viewing surface details such as scratches and
textures. Rotate either knob clockwise to increase brightness,
or counter-clockwise to decrease brightness.
7.4 Operating Mode: HDMI
To operate in HDMI mode, the microscope must be attached to a power supply using the included USB cable.
The cable has a type-C connector on one end, and a type-A connector on the other. The USB-C connector must
be connected to the microscope’s USB/Power port. To power the microscope using AC power, plug the
included AC-USB adapter into an AC outlet, then plug the USB cable’s type-A connector into the USB port on
the adapter. Alternatively, a 5V USB power bank can be used as long as it can supply at least 900mA. In this
case, the USB cable’s type-A connector would plug directly into one of the power bank’s type-A USB ports.
To connect this microscope to an HDMI monitor, television, or other compatible viewing device, use the
included HDMI cable or another compatible cable with the appropriate connectors. The included cable has a
mini-HDMI connector on one end, and a standard HDMI connector on the other. Plug the mini-HDMI connector
into the microscope’s HDMI port. Plug the other end into the viewing device’s HDMI input. Move the
microscope’s power switch to the “I” (on) position. After a few seconds, a live image will be displayed on the
screen.
While in HDMI mode, the microscope uses internal software to capture images and video, as well as to control
the imaging device’s settings. Several icons may be displayed on the screen, displaying such things as the
imaging mode, exposure, white balance, and media status. The icons will be hidden after 10 seconds of
inactivity, but will display again when a control button is pressed.
