Specimen Preparation

The kit includes blank slides and tools to create your own specimens. Follow these steps:

1. Clean a Blank Slide: Ensure the blank plastic slide is clean and dry.
2. Collect a Sample: Use the tweezers or scalpel to collect a small, thin sample of material (e.g., a small piece of a leaf, a hair strand, or a drop of water).
3. Place Sample on Slide: Carefully place the sample in the center of the blank slide.
4. Add Water (Optional): For wet mounts, add a small drop of water using the dropper over the specimen.
5. Cover (Optional): Place a cover slip (not included) over the specimen to flatten it and prevent air bubbles.
6. Label: Use the blank labels to identify your specimen.

Magnification and Focus

The microscope offers three magnification levels: 100X, 400X, and 1200X. To change magnification, rotate the revolving nosepiece until the desired objective lens clicks into place. Always start with the lowest magnification (100X) and gradually increase it for more detail. Use the large focusing knob to adjust the distance between the objective lens and the specimen until the image is clear.

Lighting

The microscope features an integrated LED light source located beneath the stage. This light illuminates the specimen from below, which is essential for viewing transparent slides. The rotating color filter wheel allows you to change the color of the light, which can enhance contrast and visibility for different types of specimens.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microscope body. For lenses, use a specialized lens cleaning cloth to avoid scratches.
• Storage: Store the microscope and accessories in the provided ABS carry box when not in use to protect them from dust and damage.
• Battery Care: Remove batteries if the microscope will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

• Image is Blurry: Adjust the focusing knob slowly. Ensure the objective lens is properly aligned with the eyepiece. Check if the specimen is too thick or uneven.
• No Light: Verify that the batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Ensure the LED light switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Difficulty Placing Slide: Ensure the stage clips are properly positioned to hold the slide securely.
