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?
On the base of the mi-
croscope there is a bat-
tery compartment (10).
Loosen the screw on
the battery compart-
ment cover with a small
Philips screwdriver and
remove the cover.
Place the batteries in the compartment so that
the flat minus poles (-) press against the spring
terminal and the plus poles (+) are touching the
flat contact sheets.
Close the battery compartment with the cover
and turn the microscope around again.
The first 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, by using the
selection switch (12). For example:
I,
II,
For transparent objects (transmitted-light ob-
jects), number I is best. In order to observe firm,
non-transparent objects (direct-light objects),
select number II.
When do I use the color filters?
The colour filter wheel (27) is located below the
microscope stage (7). They help you when you
are observing very bright or clear specimens.
Here, you can choose from various colours.
This helps you better recognise the compo-
nents of colourless or transparent objects (e.g.
grains of starch, protozoa).
How do I adjust my microscope correctly?
Each observation starts with the lowest mag-
nification.
Adjust the microscope
stage (7) so that it goes
all the way down to the
lowest position (11).
Then, turn the objective
