6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Adjusting Magnification (50X-1000X)

The microscope offers a magnification range from 50X to 1000X. The actual magnification depends on the distance between the camera and the object, and the size of the display screen. To adjust magnification, move the microscope unit up or down along the stand. Closer proximity to the object increases magnification.

6.2 Focus Adjustment

Once the desired magnification is set, rotate the focus adjustment knob (refer to Figure 4.1) until the image on the LCD screen is clear and sharp.

6.3 LED Illumination Control

The microscope features 8 adjustable LED lights to ensure optimal illumination of your specimen. Rotate the LED brightness dimmer wheel (refer to Figure 4.1) to increase or decrease the light intensity. Adequate lighting is crucial for clear observation.

6.4 Capturing Images and Videos

With a Micro TF card inserted, you can capture still images and record videos of your observations. Use the dedicated buttons on the microscope's control panel (typically labeled with camera and video icons) to initiate recording or capture a photo. Refer to the on-screen interface for specific controls.
