  2. Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical outlet.
  3. The microscope has a built-in 2000mAh rechargeable battery, allowing for cordless use for up to 3 hours once fully charged.

3.3 Initial Power On and Display Adjustment

  1. Press and hold the power button on the microscope to turn it on. The 7-inch IPS display will illuminate.
  2. Adjust the angle of the display for comfortable viewing. The display offers a 178-degree viewing angle to reduce eye strain during prolonged use.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Observation

  1. Place a prepared slide or specimen on the metal stage. Ensure it is centered under the objective lens.
  2. Adjust the focus knob (typically the larger knob on the side) to bring the specimen into sharp focus on the display.

4.2 Magnification Adjustment

The DM301 Max features 3 achromatic lenses, providing up to 1200X magnification. Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select the desired objective lens (e.g., 4X, 10X, 40X). The total magnification is the product of the objective lens magnification and the digital magnification.

4.3 Illumination Control

The microscope is equipped with both top and bottom LED lights for versatile illumination:

  • Top Light: Used for observing opaque objects or surfaces.
  • Bottom Light: Used for viewing transparent or translucent slide specimens.

Adjust the brightness of each light source using the dedicated control knobs on the base of the microscope to achieve optimal clarity and contrast.

4.4 X-Y Stage Operation

The metal X-Y stage allows for precise movement of the specimen. Use the stage control knobs to move the slide horizontally (X-axis) and vertically (Y-axis) to scan the specimen area and center the region of interest. The stage includes 1.0mm scale divisions for accurate positioning.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

  • Lenses and Display: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical surfaces. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth (never directly to the lens).
  • Body: Wipe the microscope body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Ensure no liquids enter the microscope's internal components.

5.2 Storage
