Congratulations! You’ve chosen one of the highest quality microscopes available for young explorers. Read the
following instructions carefully to get the greatest benefit from your precision instrument. Then try out the experiments
to begin your investigation of the fascinating world around you.
What is a microscope?
A microscope contains 2 lens systems: the eyepiece and the objective. We’re presenting this system as one lens each
so that the concept is easier to understand. In reality, however, the eyepiece (1) and the objective in the revolver (6) are
made up of multiple lenses.
The lower lens (objective) produces a magnified image of the prepared specimen. The picture, which you can’t see, is
magnified once more by the second lens (eyepiece), which you can see as the “microscope picture”.
Location
Before you set up your microscope, it’s important that you choose a spot with enough light for normal observation.
Furthermore, you must make sure that your microscope is on a stable and solid surface, because a shaky surface will
not lead to satisfactory results.
