ABOUT THE DIGITAL MICROSCOPE
Your new digital stereomicroscope incorporates a built in camera that utilizes ultra high-speed data transmission made
possible through a simple plug and play USB 2.0 cable. Your stereoscopic microscope can be used independent of the
camera so that you can view 3-dimensional objects, inspect or assemble small parts, and for dissection of biological
specimen. They provide an upright, un-reversed image that permits easy manipulation of the object being viewed while
looking through the microscope. They are designed for viewing solid objects at low magnification, but they will also permit
viewing of some transparent specimen slides.
UNPACKING
Your microscope is packed with the following components, all of which have been checked at the factory. Carefully remove
all components and check against this list. Make certain not to touch any of the lens surfaces while handling the
microscope. Dust, dirt or fingerprints can damage the delicate lens surfaces or adversely affect image quality.
1. Microscope, with one pair of eyepieces
2. Instruction manuals for microscope and separate instructions for camera.
3. CD Motic Images software.
4. Calibration slide
5. 12VDC switching power supply, operates on 100v-240v, 50H/60H
6. AC power cord
7. USB 2.0 cable (for connecting microscope to computer)
8. Rubber eyecups (pair)
9. Two 80mm O.D. stage plates: plastic black/white & frosted glass (one installed)
10. Frosted 35.6mm blue filter
11. “L” hex wrench (for changing stage plate)
12. Dustcover
13. Warranty card
Examine packing material before you discard it. Retain
the Styrofoam container in case you need to transport, store, or
return the microscope for service.
If it becomes necessary to ship the microscope for any reason, pack it in the
Styrofoam container, and then pack the Styrofoam in another corrugated shipping container for optimum protection. Use of
the Styrofoam alone will not provide adequate protection in transit, and will void your warranty.
DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
1. EYEPIECE: Group of lenses closest to the eye, they magnify image formed by the objectives.
2. RUBBER EYEPIECE SHIELDS: These help block out undesired light reflections, and to position your eyes at the
proper point above the eyepieces.
3. DIOPTER: Knurled diopter adjustment permits user to adjust for differences in eyesight between left and right eyes and
to parfocal zoom objective lens.
4. EYEPIECE TUBE HOUSING: Permits each user to adjust spacing between eyepieces in order to accommodate
distance between their eyes. Adjusts interpupillary distance from 55mm to 75mm.
5. ZOOM OBJECTIVE CONTROL KNOBS: Knobs located on left and right side of microscope, with scales printed on
knobs, indicate the objective magnification in use.
6. KNURLED OBJECTIVE COVER RING: Ring can be removed so that either a ring light adaptor can be installed, or
auxiliary objective lenses.
7. LIGHT SHADE: Helps block out undesired light from incidental illuminator.
8. TOP LIGHT BEAM ADJUSTMENT SCREW: Knurled adjustment screw moves the center of incidental light to desired
location on specimen.
9. MAIN POWER SWITCH: Main power switch supplies power to incidental and transmitted control switches.
10. STAGE CLIPS: Two locked-on clips hold specimen slide in place on stage plate.
11. STAGE PLATES: Frosted stage plate illustrated is generally used for viewing transparent specimen. Frosted stage
plate can be replaced by the black and white stage plate for viewing opaque specimen
12. STAGE PLATE LOCKING SET SCREW: Locks 80mm stage plate into recess of microscope base
13. LED INDICATOR LIGHT: Indicates if camera is ON. Your computer supplies power for the digital camera and this LED
lamp will be illuminated when 2.0 USB cord from computer is connected to your digital microscope and turned on by
software.
