Using The Smartphone Adapter:
SUPERVISION BY ADULTS
Read and follow the instructions, safety rules and first aid information
The smartphone adapter will allow you to connect almost any “smart” device to a microscope eyepiece.
To use the adapter, slide it directly onto the microscope eyepiece.
The camera lens on your smart device will need to be centered over the small hole in the center of the eyepiece
connector. This alignment is best done by opening the camera function and viewing the image while you center the
device. Once you have positioned the device correctly, carefully press it onto the suction cup/non-skid surface of the
adapter pad. Never allow the adapter pad to hold your device without you supporting the item as well.
After positioning your device and capturing images, you can enhance and edit the photos using the imaging software of
your choice. One option can be found at

.
WARNING:
Do not leave your device unsupported or unattended on the adapter pad.
Though the surface of the adapter pad is designed with suction cups and is non-skid, the manufacturer cannot assure
that the pad will support the weight of various devices or guarantee that it will adhere to all surfaces on various smart
devices. The pad is not intended to secure, balance or support the device on its own, and the operator should not let
the device rest solely on the adapter pad. Leaving the device unattended or allowing it to balance on its own without
operator support may result in the device falling, unbalancing the entire instrument and possibly damaging the
telescope or your smart device.
