● Signal Output： Serial data for USB standard compliant 2.0
● Gain Control： Auto Gain Control (AGC)
● White Balance： Automatic
● Snap Shot Mode： Hardware/Software controllable
● Power Source： 5VDC through USB port
● Power Consumption： 1.3M:180mA 5M:260mA
● O/S： Mac OS 10.6 or above
● Magnification： 200X digital microscope：10X~200X range
500X digital microscope：500X
● CE, FCC and RoHS Compliant
The 200X digital microscope provides a 10~200X adjustable magnification range, and
the 500X microscope provides 500X magnification. The built-in high-performance LEDs
can illuminate an object without using any auxiliary lighting. By adjusting the focus knob
on the camera, the magnified image can be viewed, captured and recorded directly from
the computer screen with dresolution.

4. Double Click the【MicroViewer】icon on the desktop, and the image will show up.
5. Place the camera on or above the object to be viewed.
6. Tilt the digital microscope slightly when viewing the object in order to get 3D image.(fig.3)
7. The digital microscope can be used to get the desired image size preferred by the user’s.
The closer you put the digital microscope to the object, the bigger image will be.(fig.4)

8. A clear focused image can be obtained by adjusting the focus knob as well as
changing the distance between the object and the digital microscope.(fig.5)
9. If the image is blurred, adjust the focus knob to the right end and view the image of
the object in lower magnification first.(fig.6)
(fig.5) (fig.6)
(fig.7) (fig.8)
(fig.9) (fig.10)
14. Use snapshot button to capture an image.
13. When using high magnification to observe a specific area of the object, placing the
digital microscope on the stand holder is recommended to obtain a clearly focused
image.(fig.10)
12. If the object is too dark or bright, adjust the light knob until you get the preferred
brightness. Turn the knlb to the right to get a brighter light and to the left to get a
dimmer light.(fig.9)
10. When magnifingan object, adjust the focus knob slightly to the left and move the
digital microscope up and down until a clear image is obtained.(fig.7)
11. If the object is has too much relief or if a higher magnification (bigger image) is
unnecessary, lift the digital microscope a little bit and adjust the focus knob slightly to
the right until a clear image is obtained.(fig.8)

Click the Measurement button, and the measurement window will appear. You can calibrate
or measure the image.
Measurement-Calibrate
1. Place the camera on a ruler and adjust the focus knob untill the image is sharp.(fig.1)
2. Click the “Measurement” button, and the Measurement window will appear.
Note: You must calibrate again if you change the distance between the object and microscope,
magnification or resolution.
3. Check “Calibrate”, and choose the “Reference Unit” and “Reference Size”, which is
the largest dimension visible on your snapshot. EX: The largest dimension available
between 3 centimeter and 4 centimeter is 10 millimeter. Therefore, we choose the “mm”
as the “Reference Unit” and choose “10” as the “Reference size”.(fig.1)
4. Hold the button of the mouse at the 3 centimeter line and drag to the 4 centimeter
line.(fig.2)
5. Release the button of the mouse, and the calibration is done.(fig.3)
PS. After finish the measurement, click the Snapshot button to
