2.
Specimen observation should be started at the lowest
magnification. This will help centre the object and
focus the image. The higher the magnification, the
more light is needed to get a good image.
3.
In the next step, look into the eyepiece and gently
turn the focus ring [16] until the image becomes
bright and sharp. This procedure should be repeated
after each change or adjustment of the eyepiece.
4.
To increase the magnification, install the 16x eyepiece
and turn the revolver [8] to higher settings (10x or
40x).
NOTE: Please note that the highest magnification is
not the best for all specimen.
3.3.5. SPECIMEN PREPARATION
Place the object on the slide and use a pipette to put a few
drops of distilled water on it. Place the glass slip vertically on
the edge of the water droplet and slowly lower it.
3.3.6. SAMPLE PREPARATION - SLICES
NOTE: Samples should be prepared by adults or under their
supervision. Heat a little wax or paraffin and immerse in it
the object from which the sample will be prepared. Leave
the object to harden. Using a sample slicer [23] (alternately
a knife or a scalpel), cut very thin slices from the waxed
object. The slice should be placed on a slide and covered
with a glass slip.
3.3.7. MICROCULAR INSTALLATION
NOTE: after the MicrOcular is inserted, the zoom settings
change and must be readjusted.
1.
Remove the Barlow lens [3] and the eyepiece [1/2].
2.
Join the MicrOcular [4] with the eyepiece [1/2] and
insert in the tube.
3.
Install software and drivers.
4.
Reboot the computer after downloading the system
and connect the MicrOcular to a USB port.

table. This option is helpful when observing very bright
objects. It makes it easier to recognize the components of
colourless or transparent objects.
