Check the focus adjustment. The oversized knobs are designed for better
gripping. The focus knobs should turn easily to change the focus, but the
stage will not drift or slip on its own.
Check the stage stop safety feature. This has been preset from the
factory and should not need adjustment. The stage stop is a thumb screw with
a lock nut found just behind the stage. To check the stop, first place a pre-
pared slide in position for viewing. With the 4x objective in position for view-
ing, move the focus knob until the stage is as high as it can be. Turn the 40x
objective into place. This objective should be very close to the slide, but not
touching.

With the egapixel Digital CoreScope connected to the USB port, the
switch turned on, place a prepared slide under the stage clips and move into
position for viewing. Use the 4x objective first. Raise the stage until it will go
no higher. Then lower the stage to bring into focus. (View the image on the
computer screen or through the eyepiece) Once the image is sharp you
should be able to simply turn the nosepiece to the next higher objective lens
and do minor adjustments with the fine focus knob.

The stage is "floating" and can be moved in any direction to view different
areas of the specimen slide. Note: In order to prevent from scratching the 40x
objective lens, make sure the stage is in the correct position (with the back of
the stage clips facing the front of the microscope).
