Intended Use:

This device is intended for personal and private use only, for magnified observation of nature.

General Information:

About this Manual: Read safety instructions carefully. Use the product as described to avoid damage or injury. Keep the manual in a safe place.

SD Card (not included): Supports SD and SDHC cards up to 32GB. Insert until it clicks. Remove by pressing it in again. An error message "No card" appears if the shutter is pressed without an SD card.

General/Location: Place the microscope on a stable, vibration-free surface. Connect the power adapter (A) to the microscope and a 230V outlet. Use the On/Off switch (15) and brightness control (16) for illumination.

Integrated LED Lighting: The LED illumination (15) is adjustable via the brightness control (16). The Abbe condenser (10) and its diaphragm (10a) help optimize illumination. Adjust condenser height (14) for best results. A closed diaphragm increases contrast but may reduce fine detail.

Operation

LCD Screen and Menu:

Turn on the LCD screen (1) by briefly pressing the On/Off button (2). The screen displays a live image and menus. The screen is touch-sensitive. Press and hold the power button (2) for 2-4 seconds to turn off the LCD.

Observation:

Rotate the objective turret (6) to select the 4x objective. Place the specimen slide on the stage (7) and secure it with the slide holder (11). Center the specimen using the stage adjustment knobs (8, 9). Use the coarse focus (12) for initial focusing and the fine focus (13) for precise adjustment. Repeat for 10x and 40x objectives. Adjust brightness control (16) for optimal contrast and image quality. Higher magnification requires more light.

Microscope Stage (with Vernier Scale):

The stage (7) allows precise specimen positioning. Use the adjustment knobs (8, 9) and the vernier scale for accurate movement.

Digital Zoom:

The screen magnification can be increased up to 4x by pinching two fingers apart. Pinching two fingers together reduces the zoom.

Hide/Show Screen Menu:

Tap on an empty area of the screen to show or hide the menu.

Connecting to PC/Laptop:

Technical Data:

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Do not disassemble the microscope. It is a precision instrument.

2. Avoid contamination: Prevent dust and moisture. Avoid fingerprints on optical surfaces. Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with a mild detergent solution. Ensure it's completely dry before use. Do not use organic solvents (alcohol, ether, acetone, xylene) on painted or plastic parts.

3. Cleaning Optical Components: For objectives, unscrew them from the turret. Blow off dust first. Use lens cleaning wipes or a soft cloth lightly dampened with pure alcohol (pharmacy grade). Wipe the lens surface gently. Dry dust can scratch the coating.

4. Non-use: Cover the microscope with the dust cover and store in a dry place. For prolonged non-use, store lenses in a sealed container with a desiccant.

A well-maintained microscope retains its optical quality and value.
