How do I use my microscope?
Before you assemble your microscope, make
sure that the table, desk or whatever surface
that you want to place it on is stable, and does
not wobble.
Electric LED illumination?
The microscope is equipped with modern
LED lighting (a light-emitting diode) that
illuminates the specimen from below. (By
the way, the thing you want to observe with
the microscope is known as the object or
specimen.)
How do I adjust my microscope correctly?
First, loosen the screw (Fig. 1, 7) and turn the
microscope head (Fig. 1, 6) into a comfortable
viewing position.
Each observation starts with the lowest
magnifi cation.
Adjust the microscope stage (Fig. 1, 11) so
that it goes all the way down to the lowest
position. Then, turn the objective nosepiece
(Fig. 1, 8) until it clicks into place at the lowest
magnifi cation (objective 4x).
Note:
Before you change the objective setting,
always move the microscope stage (Fig. 1,
11) to its lowest position. This way, you can
avoid causing any damage!
Now, insert the 10x

(Fig. 1, 3). Make sure

that the Barlow lens
is placed all the way
into
the
supports (Fig. 1, 5)
and is not pulled out
(Fig. 2).
How do I observe the specimen?
After you have assembled the microscope
with the adequate illumination and adjusted it
correctly, the following basic rules are to be
observed:
Start with a simple observation at the lowest
magnifi cation. This way, it is easier to position
the object in the middle (centering) and make
the image sharp (focusing).
The higher the magnifi cation, the more light
you will require for a good image quality.
