1.3 Microscope Operation
First, determine if the photo will be a standard long shot or a flush shot (lens placed against
article to photograph) and then adjust Focus dial as desired.
(1) Focus dial: The focus dial is labeled to indicate the magnification amount (L, H, and ). L
is for a low optical magnification (10x), H is for a High optical magnification (40x) and
is for a long shot. Rotate the dial to the left for smaller magnification, and to the right for
larger magnification. In the following image, the button is in the 10x position ( ).
(2) Flush Shot (Camera placed against surface): Adjust the Focus dial by turning left for a
low mag. (10x) or turning right for a high mag. (40x). Turn left for a smaller magnification
and right for a greater magnification. Start with the focus dial in the center and adjust as
needed.
(3) Long Shot ( ): Adjust the Focus dial so that the symbol is in the middle position and
then slightly adjust the dial to obtain the best image. After focusing, take the photograph.
For a standard long shot, the camera mode is selectable [please refer to (C) of item (1) of
Section 1.4].
