The MicroSight microscope is easy to use. The closer you put the microscope to the specimen
the bigger the image will appear. Don’t hesitate to touch the clear tip to the surface of what is
being viewed. It is calibrated at the tip and it helps you be steady when you are viewing a
specimen.
FOCUS THE MICROSCOPE
*CURVED LENS
The curved tip on your microscope has two focal points
when touching the surface of the specimen to the specimen
being viewed. Turn the focus wheel to the right and view
the specimen at 100x. Keep turning the wheel and the next
time if focuses the specimen will be magnified to 200x.
*MICROSCOPE ADJUSTABLE LIGHT
Adjust the light intensity by turning the thin wheel on the
microscope.
*ADDITIONAL FOCUS TIPS
All of the Southern Science Supply microscopes include
additional focus tips. They are pre-calibrated at the rim of
the tip to match the measurement on the magnification
sticker.
Remove the curved tip to the microscope by pulling or
popping it off and replace it with any of the additional focal
tips as desired. NOTE: The first time the additional tips are
used, it may be necessary to adjust the LED lightbulbs
gently inward to allow the focus tip to be placed on the
microscope. Make certain the focus tip is seated firmly and
completely on the microscope before viewing.
