Before Use
Operation
- Do not expose the microscope in the sun directly. The microscope ought to be placed where is dry and clean. Avoid high temperature and violent vibration.
- As the microscope is a high precision instrument, always operate it with care, and avoid physical shock or crash during the transportation.
- To keep the image clear, please do not leave fingerprints or stains on the surfaces of lens.
- Never rotate the left and right focusing knobs in reverse direction; otherwise the microscope will be damaged.
Maintenance
- Keep all the surface of the lens clean. Wipe the lens gently with a soft lens tissue or blow away the dust.
- Carefully wipe off oil or fingerprints on the lens surfaces with tissue moistened with a little of 3:7 mixture of alcohol and ether.
- Do not use organic solution to wipe the surface of other components, especially the surface of plastic components. Please use the neutral detergent if necessary.
- Never disassemble the microscope yourself, otherwise it will influence its function or damage it.
- After using, cover the microscope with a dust cover to prevent it from the dust, and store it in a place free from moisture to avoid rusting.
To keep the performance of the microscope, please check it periodically. For more details, please contact the agents nearby.

Assembling Steps
Assemble the microscope body
Match the dovetail interface [1] of the microscope body with the dovetail groove [2] of the focus bracket group, and insert it from top to bottom as the direction shown in the figure. Fix the screw in the screw groove.
Tighten the screw on the body group [3] with a M4 inner hexagon spanner (side length 2mm). (See Fig. 1)
Fig. 1: A close-up view of the microscope body attachment point. It shows the dovetail interface [1] on the microscope body aligning with the dovetail groove [2] on the focus bracket. A screw location [3] indicates where to tighten the assembly.
Assemble the LED ring light
Move the LED right light close to the microscope body according to the arrowhead direction, align the three screw holes [1] with the thread groove [2], and lock the screw with a M4 inner hexagon spanner (side length 2mm). (See Fig. 2)

Connect the Power
Insert the external adapter plug [1] into the power supply adapter socket [2] of the microscope body to the bottom, and the power will be switched on. (See Fig. 3)
- Don't use strong force when the power cord is bended or twisted, otherwise it will be damaged.
- Use the special wire supplied by the company. If it's lost or damaged, choose an external power adapter with the same specifications (power cord/charger).

Adjusting screen's degree of tightness
Use a cuspidal tool to open the cap nuts [1] on two sides. Use an Allen wrench to screw off the M3 hexagon screws [2] from the cap screws [4], and screw flat nuts [4] to adjust tightness. Meanwhile, use a straight screwdriver to keep the rotation axle [3] still. (See Fig. 4)
Tighten two M3 hexagon screws [2], then put cap nuts back [4].

How to Use
Adjust the Focusing Tension
To adjust the focusing tension, grip the left knob and rotate the right knob [1]. It will tighten when rotated clockwise, while loosen counter-clockwise. (See Fig. 5)
Adjust the focusing tension to an appropriate position to prevent the microscope body declining with the bracket when observing, and also make focusing more comfortable.
Fig. 5: A close-up of the focusing knob, illustrating that rotating the knob clockwise tightens the focusing tension, while rotating counter-clockwise loosens it.
Set Illumination
Insert the power cord plug of the body group into the ring light interface [1], then turn on the switch [3] to start the light source. (See Fig. 6)
Rotate the light adjustment knob [4] to adjust the illumination brightness. Rotate the light adjustment knob clockwise to raise the brightness, while counter-clockwise to decrease the brightness. (See Fig. 7)
Fig. 6: A diagram showing the connection of the power cord plug [1] to the ring light interface. The power switch [3] for the illumination is also indicated.

Place the Specimen
Put the specimen on the base and let the observation point exactly below the microscope. (See Fig. 8)
Fig. 8: A diagram showing the microscope positioned over a specimen placed on the base, ready for observation.
Adjust the Focus
Rotate the zoom adjustment ring [1] to the maximum magnification. Observe the output image; if it is not clear, rotate the focusing knob [2] to make it clear.
Rotate the zoom adjustment ring to the minimum magnification. Observe the output image until it is clear. (See Fig. 9)
High low magnification parfocality is set to best position when this product is produced.

Fix the Magnification
If using a fixed magnification for long term or with shake, tighten and fix the magnification lock-screw [1] with a M4 inner hexagon spanner (side length 3mm). (See Fig. 9)

Use the Button and Interface
It means the camera is working when the indicator turns green. (See Fig. 10)
- HDMI cable interface [1]: connect the HDMI cable to output the high definition image signal.
- USB interface [2]: connect the USB cable with the devices as mouse and USB disk.
- Camera button [3]: when the camera is working, press once to take one photo.
