Using the Microscope
Basic Prerequisites
Before you observe objects or speci-
mens, you must turn on the LCD
monitor and the illuminator. You also
have to know how to operate the
mechanical stage. Then you will be
ready to start observing.
LCD Module
This digital microscope is different
than a conventional microscope. The
LCD monitor replaces the eyepieces
that are used on typical microscopes
for observing. As a result, it is pos-
sible to share your observations with
others by using the monitor. Before
you start observing, you must turn
on the LCD monitor by pressing the
on/off switch (see Fig. 3). Push and
hold the button until the red control
light turns on. This is the sign that
the LCD is activated. Basically, this
is all you have to do to get the LCD
monitor ready for observing. The dif-
ferent keys of the LCD module are
used mainly for taking pictures (pho-
tographs and videos) and they will be
explained later in these instructions.
Illumination
The illuminator (Fig. 1, No. 9) is re-
quired for the observation of prepared
specimens. The light comes through
an opening on the mechanical stage
from below and shines through the
specimen.
Specimens of different sizes, thick-
ness or color variations require differ-
ent levels of light. There are two ways
