Microscope Set-up Guide
The PrepScope 2/CoreScope 2 compound microscope can be set up in
a matter of minutes. To get the most out of this amazing teaching tool,
follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. After unpacking the box, remove the PrepScope 2/
CoreScope 2 from the plastic bag and remove
the protective coverings from the objective lenses and the
eyepiece(s).
2. Place the microscope on a flat, firm surface.
3. Check the coarse focus knob on either side of the main
body support. The coarse focus knobs should turn easily.
NOTE: The stage should move freely up and down the main body
support when focusing. When you release the knob, the stage should
remain stationary, and not slide down the post on its own.
4. To operate the cordless PrepScope 2/CoreScope 2,
plug in the microscope to charge for 8 hours.
a. Plug in the round pin adapter from the power supply
to the back of your microscope.
b. Connect the opposite end to a Ken-A-Vision
multicharger (Part # SCGN061) or 110V
(220V international) electrical outlet.
NOTE: With one 8-hour charge, you can use the microscope for up to
40 hours of continuous operation. The cordless microscope can also be
operated with the cord plugged into a power source.
c. When not in use, plug the microscope into a
Ken-A-Vision multicharger (Part # SCGN061) that
will automatically stop charging once the micoscope
is fully charged to keep it at the optimal full
charge for longer battery-life. The user can charge
up to eight (8) microscopes at once.
d. Should you need a replacement power
supply/charger (KAVSPS75), or NiMH battery
(VFBATBU2), contact your nearest
Ken-A-Vision dealer.

T-12011C/T-12011C-230
The monocular PrepScope 2 compound microscope with COOL
L GHT™ illumination allows for viewing microscopic specimens through
a 10x wide-field eyepiece with 4x, 10x, and 40x(S) D N
objective lenses on a square, fixed-plain stage with a 5-hole disc
diaphragm and spring-loaded stage clips.
T-12021C/T-12021C-230
The dual view PrepScope 2 compound microscope with COOL L GHT™
illumination allows two people to look at a specimen through two (2)
10x wide-field eyepieces at the same time or connect a camera to one
eyepiece to display on an interactive white board/projector/computer.
One eyepiece has a diopter, so the second user can adjust the ring to
focus his/her vision, compensating for the differences in vision between
the two users. This microscope allows for viewing microscopic speci-
mens through 4x, 10x, and 40x(S) D N objective lenses on a square,
fixed-plain stage with a 5-hole disc diaphragm and spring-loaded stage
clips.
T-17011C/T-17011C-230
The monocular CoreScope 2 compound microscope with COOL
L GHT™ illumination allows for viewing microscopic specimens through
a 10x wide-field eyepiece with 4x, 10x, and 40x(S) D N objective lenses
on a round floating stage that can be moved in any direction with a
built-in condensing lens and spring-loaded stage clips. The microscope
has coaxial focusing for both the coarse and fine focus knobs that are
on the same axis. The fine focus knob is mounted on the outside of the
coarse focus knob allowing easier adjustment of focus for the user
without diverting one’s attention from the prepared slide.
T-17012C/T-17012C-230
The monocular CoreScope 2 compound microscope with COOL
L GHT™ illumination allows for viewing microscopic specimens through
a 10x wide-field eyepiece with 4x, 10x, 40x(S), and 100x(S) D N
objective lenses on a mechanical stage with spring-loaded stage clips,
an adjustable light dimmer and a built-in condensing lens. The
microscope has coaxial focusing for both the coarse and fine focus
knobs that are on the same axis. The fine focus knob is mounted on the
outside of the coarse knob allowing easier adjustment of focus for the
user without diverting one’s attention from the prepared slide.

T-17031C/T-17031C-230
The binocular CoreScope 2 compound microscope with COOL L GHT™
illumination allows for viewing microscopic specimens with both eyes
through two (2) 10x wide-field eyepieces at 4x, 10x, 40x(S), and 100x(S)
D N objective lenses on a mechanical stage with spring-loaded stage
clips, an adjustable light dimmer, and a built-in condensing lens. The left
and right eyepiece has a diopter to allow the user to focus the left eye
once the right eyepiece is in focus. Adjusting the diopter allows for the
difference in vision between the users two eyes. The microscope has
coaxial focusing for both the coarse and fine focus knobs that are on the
same axis. The fine focus knob is mounted on the outside of the coarse
focus knob allowing easier adjustment of focus for the user without
diverting one’s attention from the prepared slide.

Troubleshooting
This section provides many useful tips on how to solve common problems
while setting up or using the PrepScope 2/CoreScope 2:
can’t see an image. only see a partial image.
• Check to see if the power supply is plugged into an outlet or
charged if using cordless.
• Check to see if the LED lights are turned on by pushing the
power switch on the back of the microscope.
• Turn the disc diaphragm to allow more light on the prepared
slide.
• Check to see if the dimmer switch is turned to allow the
intensity of light to increase.
• Check to see if the objective lens is clicked into place.
t is difficult to get an image in focus.
• Adjust the coarse focus knobs slowly.
• Change the objective lens until you hear it click in place.
• Adjust the eyepieces and the diopter slowly until you see one
focused image.
• Check to see if there has been damage to the objective
lenses or eyepiece(s). f the lens/eyepiece is dirty, use lens
paper and distilled water to rub gently to clean.
NOTE: Never rub the lens/eyepiece when it is dry. This can cause static
charge that will attract dirt.
