VIEWING A SPECIMEN
The images you see in your microscope will
be upside down and reversed right to left.
Your microscope includes prepared slides to
help you get started.
Your microscope is equipped with a
mechanical stage (6) with a stage holder
clamp (11) and directional knobs (15).
1. Use the clamp lever to open the clamping
arm of the stage holder clamp (11).
2. Carefully place a prepared specimen slide
(3 in x 1 in/76.2 mm x 25.4 mm size)
inside the holder and close the clamping
arm against the slide.
3. Use the stage movement knobs (15) to
position the specimen over the opening in
the stage (6). The large stage movement
knob moves the X-axis (forward and
backward), while the small stage
movement knob moves the Y-axis (side
to side).
NOTE: To position the specimen directly under
the objective lens, close the opening
on the iris diaphragm until it is almost
completely closed by moving the small
lever. You should see a small beam
of light projected on to the specimen
slide. Now use the stage movement
knobs to move the specimen directly
inside the beam of light.
You are now ready to focus and view the
specimen. Use caution to avoid damaging
the slide or object. When using higher
powers while focusing, make sure the
objective lens (5) does not hit the slide or
specimen.
1. Start with the lowest power (4x objective
lens and WF 10x eyepieces). Rotate the
nosepiece (4) to change the objective
lens (5) until the 4x objective lens is
directly over the specimen.
2. Rotate each eyepiece diopter (2) clockwise
so that they are all the way down.
3. Adjust the distance between the
eyepieces by sliding the eyepiece in
or out horizontally. Grasp the knurled
portion of each side of the plate to adjust
the plate.
4. While looking through the eyepieces (1),
gradually turn the coarse focus knob (14)
until the specimen comes into view. Use
the fine focus knob (16) to obtain a more
precise focus. You may need to adjust the
stage movement knobs (15) slightly to
center the specimen in the field of view.
5. Adjust the eyepiece side plate until the
whole field of view can be observed
through both eyes at the same time
without moving your head side to side.
Depending on your individual eyes, you
may need to make slight adjustments to
the right and left eyepieces for the most
comfortable viewing. Move the diopter (2)
up or down until you have the specimen
slide in sharp, comfortable focus.
6. For higher powers, rotate the nosepiece
(4) to change the objective lens (5) to
10x, 40x or 100x. This will yield a greater
magnification. Gradually turn the coarse
focus knob (14) to refocus on the specimen.
NOTE: To be safe, you should first turn the
coarse focus knob to lower the stage,
before turning the objective carriage.)
ADJUSTING THE LIGHTING
Specimens of different sizes, thicknesses,
and colors require different levels of
illumination. There are three ways to change
the amount of illumination when viewing
a specimen: adjusting the illumination
using the illumination adjustment wheel
(17), adjusting the Abbe condenser (8) and
adjusting the iris diaphragm (7).
ADJUSTING THE
ILLUMINATION
When viewing a specimen that is not
transparent or dark in color you may need
to increase the amount of light to resolve
certain features or details. To do this,
increase the brightness of the illuminator
by turning the illuminator adjustment wheel
(17) all the way to its highest setting.
ADJUSTING THE
CONDENSER
When viewing with lower power (4x and
10x) objective lenses, you will need to lower
the condenser lens in order to spread the
light over the larger field of view. To change
the position of the condenser (8), rotate
the Abbe adjustment knob until the beam of
light spreads wide enough to illuminate the
entire field of view.
ADJUSTING THE IRIS
DIAPHRAGM
As you lower the condenser (8) to spread
out the light or change to a higher power
objective lens, your image will appear
dimmer. Instead of increasing the light
intensity of the illuminator (which may
“wash out” fine detail of the specimen
you are viewing), open the aperture of the
iris diaphragm (7) by moving the lever to
let in more light. Opening and closing the
diaphragm (7) will give a relief view of
the specimen and allow you to change the
depth of field of the specimen being viewed.
USING FILTERS
To bring out different levels of detail,
experiment with changing the lighting color.
To change colors, open the filter holder on
the bottom of the diaphragm (7) by pushing
it counterclockwise. Place the color filter in
the filter holder and close it. You may need
to refocus by adjusting the focus knobs.
CARE, MAINTENANCE AND
WARRANTY
Your Celestron Labs microscope is a
precision optical instrument and should be
treated with care at all times. Follow these
care and maintenance suggestions and your
microscope will need very little maintenance
throughout its lifetime.
• When you are done using your
microscope, remove any specimens left
on the stage.
• Turn off the power and unplug the power
cord (if applicable).
• Always place the plastic bag or dust cover
over the microscope when not in use to
help keep it clean.
• Store the microscope in a dry, clean place.
• Be very careful if using your microscope
in direct sunlight to prevent damage to
the microscope or your eyes.
• To carry your microscope, place one hand
on the “arm” of the microscope and the
other hand under the base for support. Do
not grasp your microscope by the focuser
knob or head.
• Clean the outside surfaces (metal and
plastic) with a moist cloth.
• Always unplug any cords before cleaning.
• Never clean optical surfaces with cloth or
paper towels as they can scratch optical
surfaces easily. Instead, use an air blower
or camel hair brush.
• To clean fingerprints off of optical
surfaces, use a lens cleaning agent and
lens tissue available at most photo supply
stores. When cleaning, do not rub in circles
as this may cause streaks or scratches.
• Never disassemble your microscope or
clean internal optical surfaces. Only
qualified technicians at the factory or an
authorized repair facility should attempt
these repairs.
• When handling glass specimen slides, use
care, as the edges can be sharp.
YOUR MICROSCOPE HAS A
TWO YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY.
