MAGNIFICATION TABLE
Use the following table to determine the magnification
for the different eyepiece/objective lens combination of
your microscope.
1. Take the Styrofoam container out of the carton.
2. Remove the tape from the Styrofoam container holding
the various parts in place.
3. Carefully remove the microscope and other parts from
the container and set them on a table, desk, or other
flat surface.
4. Remove the plastic bag covering the microscope.
5. Remove the plastic cap from the zoom eyepiece
Fig. 1 (1).
6. Install two AA batteries (user supplied) in the base
Fig. 1 (11) of the microscope for the bottom illuminator.
See Figure 3
A, showing the battery compartment
closed at the back of the microscope. Figure 3B
shows the batteries being installed in the compartment
(see the inside of the battery compartment door to
locate where the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of
the batteries go). Pull out on the door to open it while
holding the base firmly and push firmly to close it after
the batteries are installed.
You are now ready to use your microscope for looking
at specimen slides or small objects through the zoom
eyepiece!
SETTING UP YOUR MICROSCOPE
VIEWING A SPECIMEN
Carefully place a specimen slide under the stage clips
Fig. 1 (8) and center the specimen directly over the hole
in the center of the stage Fig. 1 (7). Figure 4A shows the
stage area with the hole in the center and Figure 4B shows
a specimen slide centered over the hole in the stage. It
will take some experimenting to place slides or objects in
the center of the stage as the image you see is upside
down and reversed, but after some usage you will have an
easy time centering. Read the sections below on Focusing,
Changing Power, and Illumination before proceeding.
You are now ready to focus and view the specimen, but first
you must take some precautions so you do not damage a
specimen slide or valuable object. When using the higher
powers while you are focusing, make sure that the objective
lens does not hit the slide or object being viewed.
