The microscope is equipped with a 5MP electronic eyepiece and a 360-degree rotatable 7-inch LCD display, allowing for a larger field of view and easy sharing of observations. Its robust construction, primarily metal, ensures durability and precision.
2. Setup and Assembly
Carefully unpack all components from the aluminum carry case. Ensure all parts listed in the packing list are present and undamaged. The main components include the microscope body, 7-inch LCD display, eyepieces (WF10X, WF25X), objective lenses (4X, 10X, 40X(s), 100X(Spring Oil)), power adapter, and prepared slides.
- Attach the LCD Display: Gently insert the 7-inch LCD display into the designated port on the microscope head. Ensure it is securely fastened. The display is 360-degree rotatable for optimal viewing angles.
- Install Eyepieces: Insert the desired wide-field eyepieces (WF10X or WF25X) into the ocular tubes. The 30-degree tilt of the ocular tubes is ergonomically designed to reduce neck strain.
- Mount Objective Lenses: Rotate the revolving nosepiece to ensure the 4X objective lens is positioned over the stage. The microscope includes 4X, 10X, 40X(s), and 100X(Spring Oil) achromatic objective lenses.
- Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the microscope's power input and then into a standard 110V AC outlet.
- Place Specimen: Position your prepared slide on the mechanical stage. Use the stage clips to hold it firmly in place.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Power On and Illumination
Turn on the microscope using the power switch. Adjust the LED illumination intensity using the dimmer control. The 1.25 NA Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm allows for precise light control and clear examination.

3.2 Focusing and Magnification
Begin with the lowest magnification (4X objective). Use the coarse focus knob for initial focusing, then refine with the fine focus knob. The coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs are located on both sides for ease of use. The mechanical stage provides smooth and precise movement along the X- and Y-axis for scanning the specimen.

To increase magnification, rotate the nosepiece to the next objective (10X, 40X, or 100X). When using the 100X oil immersion objective, apply a small drop of immersion oil to the slide before lowering the objective into it. The microscope offers eight levels of magnification from 40X to 2500X.

3.3 Using the LCD Display
The integrated 7-inch LCD display provides a direct view of the specimen, eliminating the need to constantly look through the eyepieces. This is ideal for group viewing and extended observation sessions. The display can be rotated 360 degrees for convenience.

The microscope supports still photo and video capture when connected to a video capture card (not included). This allows for documentation and sharing of your observations.
3.4 Video Demonstration

4. Maintenance
- Cleaning Lenses: Use only specialized lens cleaning paper and solution. Gently wipe objective lenses and eyepieces to remove dust and smudges. Avoid touching optical surfaces with bare hands.
- Cleaning Body: Wipe the microscope body with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the internal components.
- Storage: When not in use, store the microscope in its aluminum carry case to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage. Ensure the lowest power objective is in place and the stage is lowered before storing.
- Immersion Oil: After using the 100X oil immersion objective, always clean the oil from the lens immediately using lens cleaning solution and paper.
