MAGNIFICATION TABLE
Use the following table to determine magnification using your microscope’s
different eyepiece/objective lens combinations.
OBJECTIVE LENS 4X 10X 40X
WF 10x Eyepiece 40x 100x 400x
WF 16x Eyepiece 64x 160x 640x
SETTING UP MICRO360
1. Remove Styrofoam container from carton.
2. Carefully remove microscope and accessories from
container and set on a table, desk or other flat surface.
3. Remove bag covering the microscope.
4. Remove cap from eyepiece tube.
5. Install four AA batteries (user supplied) under the
microscope’s base (see images below).
6. Insert the WF 10x eyepiece in the eyepiece tube.
MICRO360 OPERATION
Before viewing specimens, please read these sections thoroughly regarding
focusing, changing power (magnification), using the stage and adjusting
illumination.
ROTATING THE HEAD
Your microscope’s head can be rotated 360°. You can view from any
position by moving the head (while holding the arm) to a desired location.
VIEWING A SPECIMEN
Carefully place a specimen slide under the stage clips and center the
specimen. Images will be observed upside down and reversed right to
left, with practice centering objects will become easier to accomplish.
Prepared slides, blank slides and tools are included with your microscope
to get you started (see images below).
You are now ready to focus and view a specimen. Be careful not to damage a
specimen slide or valuable object. When using higher powers while focusing,
make sure the objective lens does not hit the slide or object being viewed.
FOCUSING & CHANGING POWER (MAGNIFICATION)
Place specimen slide (or object) directly under the objective lens and use
the focus knob to focus on the specimen. For smaller objects, place on a
flat material for easier viewing.
1. Always start with lowest power (4x objective lens and WF 10x eyepiece).
This objective lens and eyepiece combination will yield 40x – the lowest
but most useful power for viewing large or small solid objects.
2. For higher powers, rotate the nosepiece to change the objective lens to
10x or 40x. Hold the microscope above the nosepiece with one hand
and rotate the nosepiece with the other hand until it clicks in position.
Be cautious not to let the objective lens touch the specimen slide or
object when changing to higher powers. Note: You should first turn the
focus knob to lower the stage.
3. You can replace the WF 10x eyepiece with the WF 16x eyepiece to
obtain three additional magnifications, including the highest power
possible (640x).
