Microscope Set-up Guide
The Digital 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, take the Applied Vision™
Software CD and insert it into your computer to
install.
NOTE:
For a complete instruction manual of Applied Vision
Software, refer to the .pdf version on www.ken-a-vision.com.
2.
Follow the directions to install the software. Once
completed, an Applied Vision icon should appear
on your desktop.
3.
Remove the Applied Vision CD from your
computer.
4.
Remove the Digital CoreScope 2 from the plastic
bag and remove the protective coverings from the
objective lenses and the eyepiece.
5.
Place the microscope on a flat, firm surface next to
the computer with the installed Applied Vision
Software.
6.
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.
7.
The Digital CoreScope 2 is powered two (2) ways:
a.
by the USB 2.0 cable when plugged into a
computer’s USB port.
b.
by the USB power adapter that fits on the
end of the USB plug inserted into an
electrical outlet or a Ken-A-Vision
®
multicharger.
NOTE:
The microscope batteries will not charge when connected
to a computer via USB. To recharge the batteries, connect the USB
cable to the USB power adapter and plug the adapter into a power
outlet.
