How Do I Operate the LED Illumination?
Locate the ON/OFF switch on the base of the microscope. Flip the switch to the on position and the
light will illuminate. This microscope is equipped with modern LED lighting (a light-emitting diode) that
illuminates the specimen from below. The aperture wheel is located in the middle of the microscope
stage. They help you when you are observing very bright or clear specimens. Using these filters, you can
choose from various brightness levels. This helps you better recognize the components of colorless or
transparent objects (e.g., grains of starch, protozoa).
How Do I Adjust My Microscope Correctly?
Place in a suitable location as described previously and sit in a comfortable viewing position. Each
observation starts with the lowest magnification. Adjust the microscope stage so that the stage is at
the lowest position. Then turn the objective turret until it clicks into place at the lowest magnification
(objective 4x).
Note:
Before you change the objective setting, always move the microscope stage to its
lowest position. This way, you can avoid causing any damage to the slide or microscope. Make sure the
zoom eyepiece is also in the fully lowered position.
Note:
The highest magnification is not always the best for every specimen.
How do I observe the specimen?
Sitting in your location with adequate illumination chosen from the aperture filter wheel, the following
basic rules are to be observed: Start with a simple observation at the lowest magnification. This way, it is
easier to position the object in the middle (centering) and make the image sharp (focusing). The higher
the magnification, the more light you will require for good image quality.
Quick Fact - The item you want to observe with the microscope is known as the object or specimen.
Now place the prepared slide directly under the objective on the microscope stage securing with the
stage clips. The object/specimen should be located directly over the illumination. At this point, take a
look through the eyepiece and carefully turn the focus knob until the image appears clear and sharp.
Now you can select a higher magnification by slowly turning the zoom eyepiece. When the zoom lens is
completely turned out, the magnification is increased by 62%. If you would like an even higher level of
magnification, turn the objective turret to a higher setting (10x or 40x).
Note:
You should return the zoom to lowest power of magnification.
Note:
You should always lower the stage and return the zoom to lowest power when rotating the
objective turret.
Each time the magnification changes (eyepiece or objective change), the image sharpness must be
readjusted with the focus knob. When doing this, make sure to be careful; if you move the microscope
stage too quickly, the objective and the slide could come into contact and cause damage to the slide or
the microscope.
