Welcome To The World Of Microscopy!
With the Discovery 150x Student Microscope, you can easily witness ordinary objects
transform into the extraordinary! This single power device will show hidden details in
larger objects like insect legs but still allow you to explore the unexpected structures
in tiny subjects like sand and salt. It offers two types of illumination, which lets you
experiment with both natural light and LED light to discover what type works better for
which specimen. With the included lab set, you dive right into the world of microscopy
with a prepared slide or launch your own investigations using the variety of collection
supplies and the experiment guide!
How Do I Use My Microscope?
Before you use your microscope, make sure that the table, desk or surface that you
place it on is stable and is not subject to vibration. If the microscope needs to be
moved, hold it by the arm and base while carefully transferring it. Once the microscope
is in a suitable location and the batteries are installed in the compartment located
in the base of the microscope, check the LED light source to make sure that it
illuminates. Use a microfiber cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lenses off. If the stage is
dirty with dust or oil, carefully clean it off.
How Do I Operate The Illumination?
This microscope is equipped with two types of illumination – a mirror for natural light
and an LED light. The light sources are located under the stage. To use the mirror, flip
the light source so that the mirrored side is facing up toward the stage, and then angle
the mirror toward a light source. The light will reflect up into the specimen. To use the
LED light, flip the light source so that the mirror is facing down. The LED will come on
once it is facing up toward the stage.
