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.
How do I operate the electric LED
illumination?
The batteries supplied should be inserted into
the battery compartment (15) located in the
base plate before use.
Remove the battery compartment cover by
pressing lightly on the cover clip. Insert the
batteries (3x AA) into the holder.
There are two lights on the microscope. They
do not use light bulbs, but rather light-emitting
diodes (LED). The fi rst lamp shines onto the
specimen from below and the second from
above. (The thing that you want to observe
with the microscope is called the object or
specimen, by the way.) You can use each
lamp on its own, or both of them together.
There is a selection knob for this (Fig. 1, 14).
It has three numbers: I, II and III.
If you select the ...
I, the light only comes from below (transmit-
ted light).
II, the light only comes from above (refl ected
light).
III, both lamps shine light on the specimen.
For transparent objects (transmitted-light ob-
jects), number I is best. In order to observe
fi rm, non-transparent objects (direct-light ob-
jects), select number II. For semi-transparent
objects, it is best to select number III.
It is not recommended to use number III for
transmitted-light objects on slides, since the
light may cause refl ections on the surface of
the slide, which will disturb your observation.
When do I use the color fi lters?
The color fi lters (Fig. 1, 17) are located below
the microscope stage (Fig. 1, 11). They help
you when you are observing very bright or
clear specimens. Here, you can choose from
various colors. This helps you better recog-
nize the components of colorless or transpar-
ent objects (e.g. grains of starch, protozoa).
