position.
2) Install the 4x objective into the nosepiece. Then in a clock-wise direction, rotate the
nosepiece and install each succeeding higher magnification objective.

screw. Take out the dead bulb and insert the new bulb. Be sure
the pins on the bulb are completely inserted into the lamp socket.
5) You may also loosen the two screws on the cover to adjust the
position of the bulb to get centered and even brightness.

Caution:
Before you turn over the microscope, be sure to take the
eyepieces off and be certain that the viewing heads are securely
locked by the thumb screws.
