Troubleshooting

If you do not get an image (or a good image) to view on your 

LCD screen, here are a few things to double check:
5.   Make sure the AC Adapter is plugged in to an AC power 

source and attached to the microscope securely and 

correctly.

6.   Make sure you have the illuminator turned on with 

maximum brightness adjustment (this is the normal 

position).

7.   Make sure the objective lens you have chosen is set 

correctly and it has clicked into the right position.

8.   Make sure that the filter wheel is set correctly at a click 

position so that the illuminated light comes up properly – 

the normal position for most usage is with the clear hole.

9.   Make sure the specimen slide is correctly fitted into the 

clamp on the mechanical stage and properly centered.

10.   If the stage is wobbly or is erratic in movement, make sure 

all screws on the top and side of the stage are tight.

Create Your Own Slides

Use a dropper to place a drop of pond water onto a blank slide 

and use the microscope to view any organisms existing in the 

water. 
Adding a cover slip on top of liquid will allow for much thinner 

viewing surface.
Use of Gum solution will make a permanent slide. The Gum will 

stick the Cover slips to the slide. Dyes can be used on speci-

mens to bring out more detail much like the included prepared 

slides. This subject matter goes beyond this manual and further 

study would be required.

Salt Water Prawns 

(Brine Shrimp)

Hatching

First, pour one pint of fresh water into a container and let stand 

for approximately 30 hours. Pour half of the sea salt into the 

container and stir until all the salt has dissolved. This will create 

the saline solution that will be used to grow the brine shrimp. 

Pour an additional pint of fresh water into a second container 

and let stand for approximately 30 hours. This will create spare 

water for adding to the hatchery when the salt water evaporates.
Next place some of the salt solution into the hatchery using a 

dropper. Then carefully place some of the eggs into hatchery 

water. Place in a lit area away from direct sunlight at preferred 

temperature of 75-77 degrees F. The shrimp will begin to hatch 

in 2-3 days. If any water evaporates during this time, replace 

with water from the second container.

Feeding

Feed your shrimp every other day using small pinch of dry pow-

dered yeast (included). Overfeeding will darken the water and 

it will stagnate. If stagnation occurs remove shrimps and place 

into fresh salt water solution.

Viewing

Use a dropper to place shrimp from hatchery onto a blank slide 

or place hatchery directly under microscope with lid removed. 

Take images and movies of the prawns to create a record of the 

lifecycle of the brine shrimp.

Note: 

Shrimp eggs and shrimp are not suitable for con-

sumption
