MAGNIFICATION TABLE

Use the following table to determine the magniﬁcation

of the different eyepiece/objective lens combination of your

microscope. For imager magniﬁcations see the chart on

page 5.

1. Take the Styrofoam container out of the carton.

2. Remove the tape from the Styrofoam container holding the

various parts in place.

3. Carefully remove the microscope and other parts from the

container and set them on a table, desk, or other

ﬂat surface.

4. Remove the plastic bag covering the microscope.

5. Remove the plastic cap from the zoom eyepiece

Fig. 1 (1).

6. Install two AA batteries (user supplied) in the base Fig.

1 (11) of the microscope for the bottom illuminator. See

Figure 3a, showing the battery compartment closed at the

back of the microscope. Figure 3bshows the batteries

being installed in the compartment (see the inside of the

battery compartment door to locate where the positive (+)

and negative (-) ends of the batteries go. Pull out on the

door to open it while holding the base ﬁrmly and push

ﬁrmly to close it after the batteries are installed.

Figure 3aFigure 3b

You are now ready to use your microscope for looking at

specimen slides or small objects through the zoom eyepiece!

For using the digital (CMOS) imager, installation and

operating instructions will follow later in this manual.

SETTING UP YOUR MICROSCOPE

VIEWING A SPECIMEN

Carefully place a specimen slide under the stage clips Fig.

1 (8) and center the specimen directly over the hole in the

center of the stage Fig. 1 (11) – Figure 4ashows the stage

area with the hole in the center and Figure 4bshows a

specimen slide centered over the hole in the stage. It will take

some experimenting to place slides or objects in the center of

the stage as the image you see is upside down and reversed,

but after some usage you will have an easy time centering.

Read the sections below on Focusing, Changing Power, and

Illumination before proceeding.

You are now ready to focus and view the specimen, but ﬁrst

you must take some precautions so you do not damage a

specimen slide or valuable object. When using the higher

powers while you are focusing, make sure that the objective

lens does not hit the slide or object being viewed.

MICROSCOPE OPERATION

Figure 4aFigure 4bFigure 5

FOCUSING & CHANGING POWER (MAGNIFICATION)

Now that the specimen slide (or object) is placed directly

under the objective lens, use the focus knob Fig. 1 (9) to

focus on the specimen. Note: for very small objects, you

should set them on the clear slide with a recessed hold in

the center.

1. Always start with the lowest power (4x objective lens) and

have the zoom eyepiece at the 10x position, all the way

counterclockwise (when you are facing the microscope from

the front) until it stops, so that the total power is 40x – this is

the most useful power for solid objects.

2. For slightly higher power, you can rotate the knurled ring

on the zoom eyepiece (see Figure 5) clockwise to obtain

powers of 40x to 80x (or anywhere in between) as you

continue rotating to the 20x eyepiece position. Note that

you will have to refocus whenever you rotate the eyepiece

to obtain a sharp focus.

3. For much higher powers, you will have to rotate the

nosepiece Fig. 1 (5) to change the objective lens to 15x

(provides total power of 150x to 300x depending on what

position you have the zoom eyepiece in or 30x provides

total power of 300x to 600x). You rotate the nosepiece by

holding the microscope above the nosepiece with one

hand and rotating the nosepiece with the other hand until

it clicks at the position. Be cautious not to let the objective

lens touch the specimen slide or object when changing to

higher powers. You should turn the focus knob ﬁrst to lower

the stage to a low position. Note: the power range of the

objective lens you are using is shown on the nosepiece

after it clicks into position.

4. At the highest powers, your views will be greatly magniﬁed,

but somewhat darker. The most enjoyable views can be

at the lower powers, which have a wider ﬁeld of view and

brighter illumination.

ILLUMINATION

To get the sharpest and best views, the illumination (lighting)

will have to be adjusted.

1. The top illuminator Fig. 1 (3) is used only for solid objects

(not specimen slides) so that light shines down onto the

object. Push the button on the top of the illuminator to turn

it on/off. After some usage, you can determine the best way

of adjusting the light to provide the most pleasant views.

Your microscope imager will work on Windows and Mac

based operating systems, but the installation process for

each is different.

WINDOWS:

· Windows 98/98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista and Windows 7

· Install the included VP-EYE software. Make sure the

imager is disconnected during this process.

· Connect your microscope imager via the included

USB cable.

· Locate and launch the VP-EYE software. Upon

completion of installation, a desktop icon

should be created automatically.

· The software should automatically recognize

your microscope imager and begin streaming a

live image.

MAC:

· Apple OS X 4.9 and higher

· DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE ON

YOUR MAC.

· Instead, launch one of your Mac’s imaging software

programs such as: Photo Booth, iChat or iPhoto.

· Connect your microscope imager via the included

USB cable.

· Your imaging software of choice should automatically

recognize your microscope imager and begin streaming

a live image.

Please note: Many keyboards on Macs have a USB port.

The microscope will not work through this USB port

because it does not have enough power. You will have

to connect the USB directly to your computer.

USING THE DIGITAL IMAGER FOR VIEWING AND IMAGING WITH YOUR MICROSCOPE

2. The bottom illuminator Fig. 1 (10) is used for specimen

slides. The light shines up through the hole in the stage

through the slide. You can see a close up of the illuminator

in Figure 6abelow. The illuminator is turned on by rotating

it so the light goes up through the hole. You turn off the

illuminator by rotating it down so that the mirror is on the

upper part (the mirror is not useful with this microscope

since you have the much better electric illuminator).

3. The light from the bottom illuminator can be increased

or decreased by rotating it with very slight movements.

As with the top illuminator, you will have to experiment to

provide the best lighting for the best views.

4. The bottom illumination may be too bright with some

specimen slides. Included with your microscope is a light

diffuser, which reduces the brightness and glare somewhat

and can make the views sharper with a higher contrast

level. In Figure 6a,the diffuser is the small black piece.

The diffuser fits over the bulb area by press fitting it on.

Figure 6bshows what the illuminator looks like with the light

diffuser in place. It will take experimenting to get this right.

Figure 6aFigure 6b

After installing the software and conﬁrming the microscope

imager is working with your software, you are ready to attach

the imager to the microscope. This step can be done before

the software install, if you prefer. Just make sure to follow the

installation steps with the imager disconnected.

First, you need to remove the zoom eyepiece Fig. 1 (1)

from the eyepiece tube Fig. 1 (2) by turning it past the stop at

the 10x position. Put a little pressure on the eyepiece (and

one hand on the base for support) and continue turning

it counterclockwise to unthread it from the eyepiece

tube. Take the protective cap off of the imager. Next, thread

the imager into the eyepiece tube (clockwise) without

overtightening. Lastly, plug the USB cable into an open

USB port on your computer.

Please note: Many keyboards on Macs have a USB port.

The microscope will not work through this USB port

because it does not have enough power. You will have to

connect the USB directly to your computer.

When viewing or imaging a specimen slide or object, you can

change the orientation of the image on the computer screen

by rotating the imager to the position you desire – generally

do this counterclockwise so you don’t tighten the imager in the

eyepiece tube.

From left to right below - digital imager with USB cable

(Figure 7A), eyepiece tube (Figure 7B), imager connected to

the eyepiece tube (Figure 7C), microscope with the imager

attached, connected to a computer with the USB cable

(Figure 7D).

The software package you installed is called VP-EYE. The

software allows you to observe specimen slides or objects on

your computer. When you view with the imager installed, the

magniﬁcation depends on the objective lens you are using

and also the size of your PC monitor.

Plug in the USB cable of the microscope imager to your

computer.

VP-EYE contains basic image capture and organization for

your photos (snapshots) and videos. Click on the VP-EYE

icon to begin (or from the programs in the Start menu of your

computer). The software is very intuitive and easy to use.

Note: The software package may not have some

of the programs listed due to the version of this

software package. You can print out a short

instruction sheet from the installed software. If you

need additional information about the software,
