2. The bottom illuminator Fig. 1 (10) is used for specimen
slides. The light shines up through the hole in the stage
through the slide. You can see a close up of the illuminator
in Figure 6
below. The illuminator is turned on by rotating
A
it so the light goes up through the hole. You turn off the
illuminator by rotating it down so that the mirror is on the
upper part (the mirror is not useful with this microscope
since you have the much better electric illuminator).
3. The light from the bottom illuminator can be increased
or decreased by rotating it with very slight movements.
USING THE DIGITAL IMAGER FOR VIEWING AND IMAGING WITH YOUR MICROSCOPE
Your microscope imager will work on Windows and Mac
based operating systems, but the installation process for
each is different.
WINDOWS:
· Windows 98/98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista and Windows 7
· Install the VP-EYE software from the product page on
our website- celestron.com. Make sure the imager is
disconnected during this process.
· Once the software is donloaded, connect your
microscope imager via the included USB cable.
· Locate and launch the VP-EYE software. Upon
completion of installation, a desktop icon
should be created automatically.
· The software should automatically recognize
your microscope imager and begin streaming a
live image.
MAC:
· Apple OS X 4.9 and higher
· DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE ON
YOUR MAC.
· Instead, launch one of your Mac's imaging software
programs such as: Photo Booth, iChat or iPhoto.
· Connect your microscope imager via the included
USB cable.
· Your imaging software of choice should automatically
recognize your microscope imager and begin streaming
a live image.

IGURE A
As with the top illuminator, you will have to experiment to
provide the best lighting for the best views.
4. The bottom illumination may be too bright with some
specimen slides. Included with your microscope is a light
diffuser, which reduces the brightness and glare somewhat
and can make the views sharper with a higher contrast
level. In Figure 6 , the diffuser is the small black piece.

The diffuser fits over the bulb area by press fitting it on.
Figure 6
shows what the illuminator looks like with the light

diffuser in place. It will take experimenting to get this right.

Please note: Many keyboards on Macs have a USB port.
The microscope will not work through this USB port
because it does not have enough power. You will have
to connect the USB directly to your computer.
