Unpacking
The microscope is housed in a moulded Styrofoam container. Remove the tape from the edge of the container
and lift the top half of the container. Take some care to avoid that the optical items (objectives and eyepieces)
fall out and get damaged. Using both hands (one around the arm and one around the base), lift the microscope
from the container and put it on a stable desk.

1. Place the specimen on the stage
Place the specimen on the microscope
stage and lock the specimen using the
slide-clamp if it is necessary. Ensure that
the specimen is centred over the stage
opening. (Fig.1)
2. Turn on the light
The microscope comes with an electrical
illuminator. Insert the plug of the cable into
the power socket, turn on the switch on the
main body and select your light source.

3. Adjust interpupillary distance
Hold the right and left parts of the
observation head by both hands and
adjust the interpupillary distance by
turning the two parts until one circle of
light can be seen. If two circles appear,
the interpupillary distance is too big, and
if two overlapped circles appear, the
interpupillary distance is too small. (Fig.

4. Focus
Rotate the focusing knob to bring the
sample into focus with the highest
magnification. (Fig.
