2. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Cosmos LCD Digital Microscope by Celestron with a 5MP sensor and 3.5” color LCD screen.
Your microscope is a precision optical instrument, made of the highest quality materials to ensure durability and long life. It is
designed to give you a lifetime of pleasure with a minimal amount of maintenance.
Before attempting to use your microscope, please read
through the instructions and reference the diagrams
below. Familiarizing yourself with the many features of
the Cosmos microscope will go a long way to making
your experience enjoyable.
The Cosmos microscope provides low power viewing
from 4x to 160x using the built-in software and
LCD screen. For additional magnification up to 800x,
connect the microscope to your PC (Magnification
depends on monitor size.) The Cosmos microcope is
a low magnification power microscope, mainly suited
for examining specimens like coins, stamps, rocks,
electronics, insects, and other 3D objects. Specimens
on slides can be viewed with top illumination, but this
microscope is not ideal for this purpose. See some of our
biological microscopes more suited to this type of viewing
at www.celestron.com.
The Cosmos LCD Digital Microscope does not use
an eyepiece like a traditional microscope. Instead,
the camera sensor “sees” the specimen with 10x
magnification, and the image is displayed on the high
resolution color LCD screen. This makes viewing fun,
cuts down on neck and eye strain and allows for easy
sharing with others. Recording still images and video is a
snap. Saving, transferring and sharing your image files is
quick and easy with the included 2.0 USB cable and your
home computer. Additionally, you can view on most TV
screens with the AV/TV Cable.
Take some time to read the simple care, maintenance
and troubleshooting tips provided for you in this manual
to ensure that your Cosmos microscope provides you
with years of quality performance, usage, and enjoyment.

8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your microscope with digital camera is a precision optical instrument and should be treated with care at all times. Follow these
care and maintenance suggestions and your microscope will need very little maintenance throughout its lifetime.
•Store your microscope in a dry, clean place.
• Never use your microscope where operation of such devices
is restricted. Improper use creates the risk of serious
accident.
•Do not try to access the internal components of your
microscope or attempt to modify it in any way. Only
authorized technicians should perform maintenance
or repairs.
•Keep your microscope away from water and other liquids.
Never use it in the rain or snow. Moisture creates the danger
of fire and electric shock.
•To clean dust or smudges from the LCD screen or other
optical component, first blow the dust off with a camel’s hair
brush or air blower. Then use the included dry, microfiber
cloth to wipe the surface.
•If the exterior surfaces of your microscope need cleaning,
wipe with a moist cloth.

2. INTRODUCTION
Nous vous remercions d’avoir acheté le Microscope numérique ACL Cosmos MC avec un capteur de 5 Mpx et un écran
ACL couleur de 3,5 po. Votre microscope est un instrument optique de précision fabriqué à partir de matériaux de haute
qualité pour assurer sa durabilité pendant de nombreuses années. Il est conçu pour vous donner des moments de plaisir
avec un minimum d’entretien.
Avant de tenter d’utiliser votre microscope, veuillez lire
les instructions et consulter les schémas ci-dessous.
Vous familiariser avec les nombreuses fonctionnalités du
microscope Cosmos MC contribuera grandement à vous
faire vivre une expérience agréable.
Le microscope Cosmos MC offre une visualisation à
faible puissance de 4x à 160x en utilisant un logiciel
intégré et un écran ACL. Pour obtenir un agrandissement
supplémentaire jusqu’à 800x, branchez le microscope à
votre ordinateur. (Le grossissement dépend de la taille
du moniteur) Cosmos MC est un microscope à faible
de puissance de grossissement, conçu principalement
pour l’examen d’échantillons tels que pièces de monnaie,
timbres, roches, pièces électroniques, insectes et autres
objets en 3D. Les échantillons déposés sur des lames
peuvent être visualisés avec un éclairage par le haut, mais
ce microscope n’est pas idéal à cette fin. Voyez certains
de nos microscopes biologiques plus adaptés à ce type
de visionnement au www.celestron.com.
Le microscope numérique ACL Cosmos MC n’a pas
d’oculaires comme un microscope traditionnel. Au lieu de
cela, le capteur de la caméra « voit » l’échantillon avec un
grossissement de 10x, et l’image est affichée sur l’écran
ACL couleur de haute résolution. Cela rend affichage
amusant, élimine la fatigue du cou et la fatigue oculaire,
et permet de partager facilement le visionnement avec
d’autres. L’enregistrement d’images fixes et des vidéos
est un jeu d’enfant. L’enregistrement, le transfert ou le
partage de vos fichiers image est rapide et facile avec
le câble USB 2.0 et votre ordinateur à la maison. De
plus, vous pouvez visionner sur la plupart des écrans de
télévision avec le câble AV/TV.
Prenez le temps de lire attentivement les conseils simples
de dépannage et de maintenance fournis pour vous
dans ce manuel afin de profiter pendant des années de
performances de qualité de votre microscope Cosmos.
