III. Assembly and set up 

Carefully remove the microscope body from the box and set it on a sturdy, flat surface. 
Remove the microscope head from the box and secure it to the body with the head 
locking screw, using care not to overtighten. 

 

Remove the plastic covers from the eyepiece holders on the microscope's head, then 
place eyepieces into the holders. You may choose at this time to insert the eyepiece 
adapter into the trinocular camera port on the top of the microscope and place either a 
third eyepiece into it or mount an eyepiece camera (not included). Locate the power 
adapter and attach it to the microscope, then plug it in. Turn the microscope on by 
pressing the power button on the back of the base. 

 
 

IV. Using the microscope 

Turn the microscope on and use the illumination intensity control wheel to set the lamp 
on the lowest brightness setting.
