USING YOUR MICROSCOPE

Turn the microscope on by pressing and holding the POWER button on back of the LCD housing, as shown in Figure 4. Once the Celestron logo appears, you can release

the POWER button.

LCD Monitor

The LCD Monitor of your digital microscope replaces the traditional eyepiece, enhancing the user experience. Whatever you are observing is displayed on the LCD

screen which means easier viewing. It also reduces eye strain and allows multiple people to view what is displayed.

ILLUMINATION

Proper illumination is key to ensure a quality image.

Your digital microscope is equipped both a TOP and BOTTOM adjustable illuminator. Each illuminator has an adjustment wheel located on either side of the base

(see Figure 6).

The LCD Digital Microscope II is designed to work with specimens on slides. You will use the BOTTOM illuminator the most. It works by shining light up through the

hole in the stage and through a specimen slide.

The TOP illuminator can be used with the BOTTOM illuminator when a slide specimen is thicker than normal. The lowest power for the LCD Digital Microscope II is 40x.

Although it is not ideal, 40x can be used for viewing 3D objects, like coins or paper.
