9. Adjust fine focus controls until specimen is in sharp focus.
10. Changing magnification.
a. Magnification is changed by rotating objective turret until a different objective lens is moved into optical path.
Always turn turret until you hear the “click”, indicating that lens is properly indexed. Otherwise, you will not be
able to see anything when looking through the microscope.
b. Standard lenses provided with your microscope are a widefield 10x eyepiece, 4x, 10x, and 40x objectives. See
chart below for specifications on objectives.

c. Also note that each objective has a color ring, which permits you to instruct changes in magnification by referring
to an easily observed color rather than to a number.
d. The microscope has been parfocalled at the factory, which allows easy change from one magnification to another,
requiring little or no adjustment of the fine focus knobs.
e. As magnification is increased, the field of view (area of specimen seen through the microscope) will decrease.
That is why it is easier to find the specific area of interest on the specimen by starting with the lowest 4x objective
lens, before increasing magnification with the 10x or 40x objective lens.
f.
NOTE: Care must be taken when rotating the 40x objective into place. This lens has a spring retractable
mechanism which retracts slightly into its housing if the front of the lens strikes the specimen slide. With fine
focus adjustment at mid-range, the rack stop has been adjusted at the factory to assure the 40x lens will clear the
thickness of a normal specimen slide and cover slip. However, if the rack stop has been improperly adjusted, or if
using a thicker than normal slide or cover slip, moving the 40x lens too quickly or carelessly could cause damage
to the front lens element or to the slide.
g. Do not let the front lens element come into contact with a wet slide surface, as prolonged contact with any
moisture could damage the lens. If lens is exposed to moisture, promptly wipe with soft tissue to remove
moisture.
WIFI CAMERA OPERATION
1. Powering the WiFi camera
a. The built-in WiFi camera is powered through the USB port located behind the camera housing of the microscope.
Supplied with your microscope is a USB (5V) wall plug power adapter and USB cable. First plug the adapter into
the A/C wall power outlet. Then insert the flat end of the USB cord into the adapter and the other square end into
the USB port behind the camera housing.
b. As power is being established, you will notice a blue LED flashing, located in front of the camera housing. Once
the blue LED remains solid, the WiFi camera is ready to be used.
2. Connecting to Android or Apple device
a. The built-in WiFi camera in this unit performs much like a wireless router. You will first need to locate the wireless
signal with your Android or Apple device. This is usually done through the settings feature of your device (please
refer to your devices manual for further instructions). Once you have located the signal (usually labeled MC-WiFi-
….), you will need to connect using the default password of 12345678. This cannot be changed except by the
factory. Any attempt to do so will render your WiFi camera inoperable and will void your warranty.
b. Once the connection has been established, you can begin using the WiFi camera through the MotiConnect App
(automatic) or through your web browser, using the following address:
