Your  purchase  of  a  Wolfe  Introductory  Student  Microscope  represents  an 
investment. Properly used and cared for, it will provide years of uncompromising 
service.  While  this  manual  assumes  a  basic  knowledge  of  the  compound 
microscope,  it  highlights  and  reemphasizes  key  attributes  and  procedures  to 
ensure  the  greatest  benefit from  its  design. Be  sure  to  read  and understand this 
guide before and after setting up your microscope to maximize the usefulness and 
ease in interpreting the information it provides. If, on any point, these features or 
techniques seem unclear, the Microscope Department of Carolina Biological Supply 
Company stands committed to answer your technical concerns and suggestions. 
 
In order to properly use the microscope, an outlined series of steps follows, which 
will become routine as they are repeated: 

 

Turn on the power supply with the rotating switch located on the 
power cord. 

 

 Rotate  the  4X  objective  into  place,  perpendicular  to  the 
microscope  stage.  Provision  has  been  made  that  the  objectives 

“click” into the correct position.

 

 

Using the course-focus adjustment, position the body tube so that 
it is at the lower limit of its range of travel.
