7)  The eyepiece can be rotated to 

different positions by loosening the 

eyepiece position lock (E) and 

turning the eyepiece base 

(F) directly.

8)  The microscope will power off 

automatically after one hour 

of idle time. 

1)   Loosen the screw at the back of the 

adaptor and put the smartphone on it, 

facing up.

2)  Adjust the position of the horizontal arm 

to fit the width of the smartphone and 

tighten the screw just enough to keep it 

in position.

3)  Align the centre of the adaptor hole of 

the swing arm to the smartphone 

camera. Tighten the 

screw so that the 

smartphone is 

securely held 

in the adaptor.

1)  Press the power switch to turn on 

the illuminators. For slide viewing, 

change the bottom illuminator 

brightness by turning the 

adjustment knob (A). Use the top 

illuminator adjustment (B) for 

solid object viewing.

2)  The rotating colour/light filter (C) makes it 

easier to observe the prepared slide. A 

coloured filter heightens the contrast of 

colour prepared slides. A range of light 

aperture (hole) sizes is available to alter the 

focus of the light. When the large aperture 

is used the slide appears very bright. The 

smallest aperture is helpful when 

examining a certain area in more detail.

3)  Rotate the lens turret until the shortest 

objective lens (60X) aligns with the 

opening in the stage (it will click into 

place when it is aligned). Check that the 

light can be seen through the eyepiece

4)  Place a prepared slide on the stage and 

fasten it in place with the clips.

5)  Using the focusing knob (D), lower the 

objective lens as close as possible to the 

prepared slide. Next, looking through the 

eyepiece, turn the knob anti-clockwise 

slowly until the image is clear. 

6)  To increase the magnification, rotate 

the lens turret until the next largest lens 

(120X) is aligned with the specimen. Only 

use the highest magnification (200X) after 

using the other two, otherwise you may 

have difficulty focusing on the slide.
