Operating Instructions
- Power On: Turn on the microscope using the power switch.
- Place Specimen: Secure your specimen slide on the mechanical stage using the stage clips.
- Adjust Magnification: Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select the desired objective lens (4X, 10X, 40X, or 100X).
- Focusing: Use the coarse adjustment knob for large focus changes and the fine adjustment knob for precise focusing.
- Adjust Illumination: Use the dimming handwheel to adjust the brightness of the LED light source. Adjust the Abbe condenser and iris diaphragm for optimal contrast and resolution.
- Constant Temperature Stage: Use the control buttons on the base to set the desired temperature for the mechanical stage (0-50°C). The current temperature will be displayed digitally.
- Rotating Head: The 360-degree rotatable head allows for flexible viewing angles.
Advanced Operations
- Taking Photos and Videos: To capture still photos or videos, connect a USB 2.0 Audio Video Capture Card and RCA cables (male to male) to your microscope and PC. Install the provided software on your PC. The video below demonstrates the connection and software usage.
- Setting Screen Language: To change the language on the 7-inch LCD screen, turn on the monitor, click the 'M' button 6 times, then click the '>' button to cycle through and select your preferred language.
- Adjusting Rotating Head: The microscope head can be rotated 360 degrees. Loosen the securing screw, adjust the head to the desired angle, and then tighten the screw to fix its position.

Maintenance
- Cleaning Lenses: Use only specialized lens cleaning paper and solution. Gently wipe objective lenses and eyepieces.
- Cleaning Body: Wipe the microscope body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Storage: When not in use, store the microscope in its aluminum carry case in a dry, dust-free environment. Use a dust cover to protect it from dust and debris.
- Immersion Oil: For the 100X objective, use a small drop of immersion oil. After use, clean the oil from the lens immediately.
Troubleshooting
- No Image on Screen: Check all cable connections, especially the AV cable to the monitor. Ensure the microscope is powered on.
- Blurred Image: Adjust the coarse and fine focus knobs. Ensure the objective lens is clean and correctly positioned. If using the 100X objective, verify immersion oil application.
- Image Misalignment (Eyepiece vs. Screen): Due to movement during transportation, the angular position might shift. Loosen the screw on the eyepiece tube, adjust the image angle on the screen to match the eyepiece view, then tighten the screw.
