Digital imaging
You can take snapshots or a short video with your microscope
with the built-in digital camera. With the SD Card memory, you
do not need to use a PC or any other devices to do imaging.
Transferring of images to your PC for saving and or printing
them is easy and will be discussed later in this manual.
Note: If you are going to take images, do not connect
the USB cable to your PC or damage could occur to the
equipment. The USB cable is not used at all for
taking images.
Settings and Information for the Digital Camera and the
Touch Screen — The touch screen icons and their functions are
quite easy to use and intuitive in nature. Below will be discussed
the general use of the icons. Typically you use your fingers with
the touch screen, but you can use the included touch pen as
well. The touch screen has various functions and choices among
those functions. From the image to the left you will find the
following twelve icons/ when in the viewing/ snapshot mode!
