Instruction manual
Instructions for use 1. First tilt the arm and adjust the
position of the reflector so that
the light is fully caught by
the mirror.
2. When the light is fully reflected
by the mirror, as can be seen
through the eyepiece, the
microscope will be ready
for observation.
3. Next, put the prepared slide on
the stage and fix it in place with
the clips.
4. Now decide what magnification
to use. The greater the length of
the objective lens the greater the
magnification. Observation is
generally made by starting at a
low setting.
5. In order to change the magnification
turn the revolving turret until you
hear a click.
6. Using the focusing knob, lower the
lens as closely as possible to the
prepared slide without actually
making contact. Then, while
looking through the eyepiece, turn
the knob in the opposite direction
until the image comes into focus.
7. If the light intensity is low or
the image is not clear at high
magnification rotate the
illuminator lamp upward.
The light automatically turns
on when rotated.
