1. Preparing a Slide
You can use either the prepared slides included in the kit or create your own.
Using Prepared Slides:
- Select a prepared slide from your kit.
- Gently place the slide on the microscope stage, asegurándoo co stage clips.
Creating Your Own Slides:
For observing new specimens, use the blank slides and cover slips.
- Place a small, thin specimen (e.g., a tiny piece of leaf, a drop of water) in the center of a blank slide.
- Carefully place a cover slip over the specimen, avoiding air bubbles.
- Use the specimen slicer for very thin samples if needed.

2. Axuste da ampliación
The microscope offers multiple magnification settings.
- Rotate the objective lens turret to select your desired magnification (e.g., 300x, 600x, 1200x). Start with the lowest magnification (300x) to locate your specimen.
- Once the specimen is found, you can switch to higher magnifications for more detail.
3. Iluminación
The microscope uses an LED light source.
- Turn on the LED light using the switch located near the base.
- If the light is too bright or too dim, adjust the mirror at the base to reflect ambient light, or use the color filter wheel for better contrast.
4. Focalización
Use the coarse focus knob to bring the image into general focus.
- While looking through the eyepiece, slowly turn the coarse focus knob until the specimen appears clear.
- For finer adjustments, if available, use the fine focus knob (this model primarily uses coaxial coarse focus).
Mantemento
- Keep the microscope clean and free of dust. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe surfaces.
- For lenses, use specialized lens cleaning paper or a soft brush. Do not use abrasive materials.
- When not in use, store the microscope and accessories in the provided carrying case to protect them from dust and damage.
- Remove batteries if the microscope will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
