Microscope Set-up Guide
The PrepScope 2/CoreScope 2 compound microscope can be set up in
a matter of minutes. To get the most out of this amazing teaching tool,
follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. After unpacking the box, remove the PrepScope 2/
CoreScope 2 from the plastic bag and remove
the protective coverings from the objective lenses and the
eyepiece(s).
2. Place the microscope on a flat, firm surface.
3. Check the coarse focus knob on either side of the main
body support. The coarse focus knobs should turn easily.
NOTE:
The stage should move freely up and down the main body
support when focusing. When you release the knob, the stage should
remain stationary, and not slide down the post on its own.
4. To operate the cordless PrepScope 2/CoreScope 2,
plug in the microscope to charge for 8 hours.
a. Plug in the round pin adapter from the power supply
to the back of your microscope.
b. Connect the opposite end to a Ken-A-Vision
multicharger (Part # SCGN061) or 110V
(220V international) electrical outlet.
NOTE:
With one 8-hour charge, you can use the microscope for up to
40 hours of continuous operation. The cordless microscope can also be
operated with the cord plugged into a power source.
c. When not in use, plug the microscope into a
Ken-A-Vision multicharger (Part # SCGN061) that
will automatically stop charging once the micoscope
is fully charged to keep it at the optimal full
charge for longer battery-life. The user can charge
up to eight (8) microscopes at once.
d. Should you need a replacement power
supply/charger (KAVSPS75), or NiMH battery
(VFBATBU2), contact your nearest
Ken-A-Vision dealer.
