loosen the scope arm fixing knob, adjust the standing pillar "lifting knob" (see Picture1-V160) to obtain different
object distances, and tighten the "scope arm fixing knob".
A1 Hose:
Take out the screw at the bottom of the hose, install the hose to the bottom plate, and then fix it with a screwdriver.
5. Product configuration instructions
1. 1 digital microscope host
2. 1 each for casing, white earmuffs, sleeve, black earmuffs, and side lens
①Casing: It protects the body when inspecting the bottom of the slit, deep in the pipe, and when the microscope needs
to be placed in other objects.(This accessory is not waterproof)
Black earmuffs: Used to check holes with a diameter smaller than the body diameter (12mm).
Black can block the external stray light, making the center of the picture brighter.

Side lens: Used to observe the back or side of an object.
④Sleeve: Fixed object distance when observing large area flat objects.
⑤White earmuffs: Used to check holes with a diameter smaller than the body diameter (12mm).

In order to avoid errors during the installation process, please strictly follow the installation steps:
Application: (take Windows system as an example)
Download link: https://bit.ly/3woHmVG
Please download the software "amcap" and related instructions and copy it to your computer desktop.
After installation, the desktop will have the following icons:
④ Use of amcap software
Connect the USB plug of the USB digital microscope to the computer. Confirm that the new USB device is
connected to the computer.
① Start the "amcap" software
② Select the microscope equipment in Devices
③ Capture pictures:
1. Initial setting: Options→Preview√, Capture→Still→Enable√,
2. Select the image storage path: Capture→Still→Folder
3. Capture the screen: Capture→Snap or press the camera button on the USB remote controller to take a photo. (Or
simply press "Enter" on the keyboard)
④ Record video:
1) Select the video storage path: File→Set Capture File→ Target Folder
2) Recording: Capture→start capture→OK→stop capture.
⑤ The video/picture data is stored as a file in the location you specify, and the recorded video file can be viewed in
the saved folder.
⑥Image resolution setting: Options→Video capture pin...→New window properties→Select output size→OK.
7. Adjust the object distance and magnification
If the image is blurry, you can debug it in the following two ways:
1. Keep the object distance unchanged, turn the ‘focus ring’ (Picture1) at the rear of the microscope to focus (you can
fine-tune the focus ring, don’t turn too much at a time, easy to over-focus) Until the image is clear.
2. The magnification remains the same, that is, the ‘focus ring’ at the end of the microscope (Picture1) remains the
same, adjust the object distance until the image is clear.
Object distance: the distance between the microscope lens and the object being observed.
①The microscope host can be manually pulled in and out to adjust the object distance;
②Install the host to the bracket, and adjust the object distance through the ‘lifting knob’ (see Picture1).

8. Troubleshooting
※What should I do if the computer is not recognized?
If the computer cannot recognize the hardware, please replace the USB interface; if it is a desktop computer, please
connect the USB interface on the back of the computer. The USB interface of some computers may have unstable
power supply. It is better to use a rear USB. Or change the notebook to observe and use.
※What should I do if I choose a USB camera but still can’t use it?
In the amcap program, "Devices"→"USB Camera", select it, if there are other cameras connected to the computer,
there may be two or more "USB Camera", please select the microscope device.
※The "USB camera" of the microscope image has been selected, but there is no image?
In the amcap program, "Options" → check √ "Preview" (preview), and then select "Yes" in the new window to display
the image.
※The video file recorded by amcap software is relatively large (AVI format). Can the video format be adjusted?
In the amcap program, "Capture"→"Compression"→"Windows Media 9 Series", switch to the wmv format, and the
recorded video file will be relatively smaller.
