R. The Stage Clips
hold the plastic slide firmly onto the stage.
S. Mirror/Light Source
. While holding the base down, pull on the arm to tip the micro
scope back. Examine the mirror and light source located below the stage to see how you can
adjust them, and choose one or the other. The light source turns on automatically when
tipped upwards toward the stage. The mirror gathers and reflects light into the
microscope.
T. Base/Battery Compartment.
Place the microscope on its side. To remove the pro-
tective plastic cover, remove the screws with a Philips head screwdriver. Gently lift and
the base will open. Insert two “AA” batteries (user supplied) in the base. Match the
positive (+) and negative (-) poles of the batteries with the (+) and (-) markings on the base
(
Fig 3
.) To replace lid, position it over the opening and replace the screws.

U. Focus Knob.
Slowly turn the knob back and forth to focus an object in the eyepiece.
Notice what happens to the power indicator (
P, Fig.1
) as you turn the knob.
Start Observing!
Now that you’ve studied the features of your Microscope, it’s time to take it out for a test drive
and try out a simple observing exercise.
1. Rotate the focus knob
(U. Fig.1)
and lower the stage
(Q, Fig.1)
as far as it will go. Place
the 20X eyepiece into the microscope, if necessary. Turn the objective turret
(P, Fig.1)
to
the shortest objective
(7.5X)
2. Put one of the prepared plastic slides
(E, Fig-
1)
under the s t a g e clips
(R, F
i
g. 1)
and
position the prepared specimen over the hole in the stage.
3. Look through the eyepiece
(N, Fig. 1)
and slowly turn the focus knob until the specimen
can be seen in focus.
4. Observe what happens when you slowly move the light source
(S, Fig. 1)
or the mirror.

TIP
:
Always keep both eyes open when looking through the eyepiece. Doing
so will relieve stress on your eyes.
CAUTION: To prevent the wires attached to
the light from breaking, never rotate the light
source a full 360
∘
•
CAUTION:
Be Careful not to
touch the slide with the objective
lens. You can break the slide
and/or the lens by touching the
slide with the lens.
NOTE :
The view presented in the eyepiece is
upside-down and reversed from left to right of the object.
In other words, if you wish to examine more of the left
side, move the slide to the right. Or if you wish to
examine more of the top of the image, move the slide
down and vice-versa.
