About the Digital Microscope
The manual for your new digital microscope is in three parts. This first part describes the basic nomenclature and
functions of the microscope, which can be used as a fully functional microscope, independent of the camera. The
second part is the “Important Supplement to Documentation” describing loading of your CD. The third part is the Motic
Images Quick Start Guide located on your CD, which provides detailed documentation for installation and operation of
the Motic Images software. In order to achieve optimum results, it is important that you carefully read these
documentation manuals before operating your microscope or camera.
