For optimum viewing satisfaction, follow these simple procedures. Nomenclature used to describe components and
controls can be identified by referring to the diagram at left.
UNPACKING
The microscope and accessories have been carefully packed to assure they reach you in the best possible condition.
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.
Always handle and move microscope by securely holding the arm of microscope. Avoid touching any of the lens surfaces
while handling the microscope. Dust, dirt, or fingerprints can damage the delicate lens surfaces or adversely affect image
quality.

MOTICONNECT APP DOWNLOAD
1. In preparation for using the DCX-213/214-RLED, you may wish to download and install the free MotiConnect app.
The MotiConnect app can be downloaded from either the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, depending on
whether you are using an Android or Apple device.
2. Instructions for the MotiConnect app can be found within the application through help button. Further instruction
available from Motic and National Optical YouTube pages online.
3. Your WiFi camera also has built in software, which is accessible by typing in the cameras IP address in your web
browser. These instructions are covered in WiFi Camera Operation section of this manual.
4. If you would like to connect the WiFi camera to a wireless enabled laptop or computer, go to the National Optical
website. On the website, you will need to register your product first and then you will be able to download the Motic
Images software. Instructions on connecting to your wireless enabled laptop or desktop are covered in the Wifi

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
1. EYEPIECES (ocular lens) Lens closest to the eye, magnifies the primary image formed by the objective lens. One
eyepiece is equipped with a “pointer” that rotates as the eyepiece is turned and one eyepiece without pointer.
2. OBJECTIVE TURRET (nosepiece) Revolving turret which holds objective lenses, permits changes of magnification
by rotating different powered objective lenses into optical path.
3. OBJECTIVE LENS Lens closest to the object being viewed, forms first magnified image of the specimen.
4. MECHANICAL STAGE Permits precise, mechanical manipulation of the specimen slide.
5. STAGE Platform of the microscope where the specimen slide is placed.
6. CONDENSER LENS 1.25 N.A. Abbe condenser lens positioned under center of stage, condenses light rays from
substage illumination and fills the back lens element of objective lens to improve image resolution.
7. IRIS DIAPHRAGM Iris opening is controlled by lever, designed to help achieve optimum resolution of the objective
lens. Larger apertures used for higher magnifications, and smaller apertures used for lower magnifications. Iris is
protected by a frosted glass covering.
8. FILTER HOLDER Attached to bottom of iris diaphragm with swing out built in neutral filter. Swing out filter should
be removed from optical path when using 40x and 100x objective lens.
9. SAFETY RACK STOP When properly adjusted, controls maximum upward travel of stage. Prevents higher power
objectives from breaking specimen slides, prevents damage to objective lenses. This stop has been pre-adjusted at
the factory.
