Instrucións de funcionamento
1. Preparing a Specimen Slide
- Para Presentacións preparadas: Simply place a prepared slide onto the stage.
- Para Diapositivas en branco: Use the provided tools (pipette, tweezers, scalpel) to place a small, thin specimen onto a blank slide. Add a drop of water if necessary, and cover with a coverslip.
2. Placing the Slide
Place the prepared slide onto the microscope stage. Use the stage clips to secure the slide in place.

4. Selecting Magnification
Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select an objective lens. Start with the lowest magnification (e.g., 120X) to locate your specimen, then switch to higher magnifications as needed. The total magnification is the eyepiece magnification multiplied by the objective lens magnification.
- Available Magnifications: 120X, 240X, 300X, 480X, 600X, 1200X.
5. Focalización
- Mira polo ocular.
- Slowly turn the coarse focus knob to bring the specimen into approximate focus.
- Use the fine focus knob for precise focusing and to achieve a clear image.

Mantemento
- Limpeza de lentes: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses to clean the eyepieces and objective lenses. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Limpeza do corpo: Limpe o corpo do microscopio cun pano suave eamp pano. Evite a entrada de humidade nos compoñentes eléctricos.
