5. The setup status screen shows. This advises current operation
status with a progress bar. This may take a few minutes.
6. The „Completed the Photomizer Setup Wizard" screen shows. Click
here on „Finish".
Note
To use the MicrOcular long-term we recommend it always be
connected to the same USB port.
13.2 MikrOkular driver installation
During Photomizer SE software installation the correct driver for your
operating system will be installed automatically. No manual input is
needed.
In rare cases the device may not be recognised by your computer.
As a rule you need then only install the driver manually from the CD.
If this fails please refer to the troubleshooting chapter that follows.
13.3 Troubleshooting: the device isn't recognised by
the computer (USB)
1. This occurs in rare cases whith some OEM Windows Vista or XP
versions. The device is not defective. Updating the notebook or PC
USB driver usually suffices.
2. If not, proceed as below. (The maker cannot accept any liability
whatsoever in these cases ).

Delete ghost devices. These are devices not actually currently con-
nected to your computer. The reason for this is that Windows gener-
ates a system settings entry for each USB device ( e.g USB Stick) on
each port. It then seeks that/those device/s each time it's started. This
slows down USB device recognition and Windows booting and causes
non-recognition of USB ports.
Cleaning up the system environment and deleting devices that are no
longer in use helps here. To do so right click WORKPLACE (COMPUTER
in Vista) and open the PROPERTIES menu. Then click the ADVANCED
tab (ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS in Vista) and then ENVIRONMENT
VARIABLES. Choose the NEW option in ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES.
Enter the following under VARIABLE NAME.
devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices
Under VARIABLE VALUE enter „1".
Confirm your input with OK and then reboot the computer.
Change to the device manager. In the VIEW menu activate the SHOW
DEVICES OPTION. The ghost devices previously not shown will now be
displayed in light grey. Check the various categories including USB,
memory size, etc. Only delete entries for devices you no longer use.

accessory (Fig. B 36). Remove the specimen holder clamps to install
it (Fig. A 18).
Use the screw (Fig. B 37) to fasten the cross table to the microscope
table. Use the adjusting screws (Fig. B 38+39) to precisely position
the specimen longitudinally (Fig. B 38) and crosswise (Fig. B 39).

16. Care and maintenance

Remove the device from it's energy source before cleaning (remove
plug from socket / remove batteries). Lenses (eyepieces and/or object
lenses) should be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g. microfibre)
only. Do not use excessive pressure - this may scratch the lens. Clean
the exterior of device with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaning fluids so as
to avoid causing damage to electronic components. Protect the device
from dust and moisture. Store the device in the bag supplied or in its
original packaging. Batteries should be removed from the device if it
is not going to be used for a long period of time.

17. Disposal

Dispose of the packaging material/s as legally required. Consult the
local authority on the matter if necessary.
Do not dispose of electrical equipment in your ordinary refuse.
The European guideline 2002/96/EU on Electronic and Electrical
1
Equipment Waste and relevant laws applying to it require such
used equipment to be separately collected and recycled in an
environment-friendly manner. Empty batteries and accumulators
must be disposed of separately. Information on disposing of all such
