How do I use my microscope?

Before you use your microscope, make sure that the

table, desk, or surface that you place it on is stable

and is not subject to vibration. If the microscope

needs to be moved, hold it by the arm and base

while carefully transferring it. Once the microscope

is in a suitable location and the batteries are

installed, check the light source to make sure that it

illuminates. Use a microﬁbre cleaning cloth to gently

wipe the lenses off. If the stage is dirty with dust

or oil, carefully clean it off. Make sure that you only

raise and lower the stage using the focus adjustment

knob.

How do I operate the illumination?

Locate the mirror/light on the base of the microscope. Flip the mirror/light to the

“on” position (with the light facing up) and the light will illuminate. This microscope is

equipped with an incandescent light that illuminates the specimen from below. The colour

ﬁlter wheel is located in the middle of the microscope stage. The ﬁlters help you when

you are observing very bright or clear specimens. Using these ﬁlters, you can choose

various brightness levels and colours. This helps you better recognize the components of

colourless or transparent objects (e.g. sea salt).

How do I adjust my microscope correctly?

Place the microscope in a suitable location as described above, and sit in a comfortable

viewing position. Always start each observation with the lowest magniﬁcation. Adjust

the distance of the microscope stage so that the stage is in the lowest position, farthest

away from the turret head. Turn the objective turret until it clicks into place at the lowest

magniﬁcation (Objective 15x / 300x). Note: Before you change the objective setting, always

make sure the microscope stage is farthest away from turret by rotating the focus knob.

Separating the stage and turret by rotating the focus knob will avoid causing damage to

the specimen slide or microscope. When starting an observation, always start with the

15x / 300x objective in the rotating head.

How do I observe the specimen?

Sitting in your location with adequate

illumination chosen from the colour ﬁlter wheel,

the following basic rules should be observed:

Start with a simple observation at the lowest

magniﬁcation. Position the object or specimen

in the middle of the stage under the stage clips,

centred over the lower light. Focus the image

by rotating the focus knob until a clear image

appears in the eyepiece.

Place the prepared slide directly under

the objective on the microscope stage, and

secure it with the stage clips. The prepared slide should be located directly over the lower

illumination. Look through the eyepiece, and carefully turn the focus knob until the image

appears clear and sharp. Now you can select a higher magniﬁcation by rotating to the

30x/600x objective turret. Higher levels of magniﬁcation can be achieved by turning the

objective turret to a higher setting (600x or 1200x). Following this procedure creates a

steady increase of magniﬁcation without overpowering the view of the object. The following

magniﬁcations should be considered: 300x, 600x, then 1200x. Each time the magniﬁcation

changes (due to the objective change), the image sharpness must be readjusted with the

focus knob. When doing this, be careful because if you move the microscope stage too

quickly, the objective and the slide could come into contact and cause damage to the slide or

microscope.

For transparent objects (e.g. sea salt), light is projected by the lower light traveling from

below the stage, through the objective and eyepiece, and ﬁnally into your eye. This process

of light transmission is known as microscopy. Many micro-organisms found in water, plant

components, and the smallest animal parts are transparent in nature. Opaque specimens,

on the other hand, will need to be prepared for viewing. Opaque specimens can be made

transparent by a process of treatment and penetration with the correct materials (media),

or by slicing. You can read more about creating specimens in the following Microscope

Experiments booklet.

CLEANING TIPS

To ensure your microscope has a long service life, clean the lens (objective and eyepiece)

with only a soft, lint-free cloth, like a microﬁbre cloth. Do not press down too hard while

cleaning, as this might scratch the lens. Ask your parents to help if your microscope is really

dirty.

The cleaning cloth should be moistened with cleaning ﬂuid and the lens wiped clean using

very little pressure. Make sure your microscope is always protected against dust and dirt.

After use, leave it in a warm room to dry off.

WARNINGS AND SAFETY

Read and follow the instructions, safety rules, and ﬁrst aid information.

This microscope set is intended for children older than age 8. Children should only use

this device under adult supervision. Never leave a child unsupervised with this device.

Accessories in this experimental kit may have sharp edges and tips. Please store the device

and all of its accessories and aids out of the reach of young children when not being used due

to a risk of injury.

This device contains electronic components that are powered by batteries. Batteries should

be kept out of children’s reach. When inserting batteries, please ensure the polarity is

correct. Insert the batteries according to the displayed +/- information.

DANGER OF FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS!

Do not expose the device to high temperatures. Use only battery types recommended. Never

mix old and new batteries. Replace all batteries at the same time. Never mix alkaline,

standard carbon-zinc, and rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. Never short circuit the

device or batteries or throw either into a ﬁre. Exposure to high temperatures or misuse of

the device can lead to short circuits, ﬁres, or even explosions. Leaking or damaged batteries

can cause injury if they come into contact with the skin. If you need to handle such batteries,

please wear suitable safety gloves.

CHEMICALS

Any chemicals and liquids used in conjunction with the device should be kept out of reach of

children. Do not drink any of the chemicals contained in this set. Hands should be washed

thoroughly under running water after working with these chemicals. In case of accidental

contact with eyes or mouth, rinse the affected area with water. Seek medical treatment for

ailments arising from contact with the chemical substances, and take the chemicals with you

to the doctor.

E-7

RISK OF MATERIAL DAMAGE

Never take the device apart. Please consult our customer service department and send

the device in for repair if needed.

Do not subject the device to temperatures exceeding 60 °C (140 °F).

TIPS ON CLEANING

Remove batteries from device before cleaning.

MICROSCOPE CARE

Clean the exterior of the device with a dry cloth. To avoid causing damage to electrical

components, do not use cleaning ﬂuids. Clean the lenses (objective and eyepiece) with

only a soft, lint-free cloth, like a microﬁbre cloth. Do not use excessive pressure—this

may scratch the lens. Protect the device from dust and moisture. Store the device in its

original packaging. Batteries should be removed from the device if it will not be used for

a long period of time.

DISPOSAL

Keep packaging materials, like plastic bags and rubber bands, away from children, as

they pose a risk of suffocation.

Dispose of packaging materials as legally required. Consult the local authority on the

matter if necessary.

DISPOSAL

Dispose of the packaging materials properly,

according to their type, such as paper or card-

board. Contact your local waste disposal service

or environmental authority for information on the

proper disposal.

Please take the current legal regulations into

account when disposing of your device. You can

get more information on the proper disposal from

your local waste-disposal service or environmen-

tal authority.
