Now, place a prepared slide (e.g. 11) under the
clips on the stage (4), directly under the objec-
tive. When you take a look through the eyepiece,
you can see the magnifi ed specimen. At this
point, it might still be a slightly fuzzy picture. The
sharpness is adjusted by slowly turning the focus
knob (2). You can now select a higher magnifi ca-
tion by turning the objective turret and selecting a
different objective.
In doing so, note that the sharpness of the pic-
ture must be adjusted again for the higher mag-
nifi cation. Also, the higher the magnifi cation, the
more light you will need for good illumination of
the picture.
TIP: Avoid positioning the mirror so that it is ex-
posed to direct sunlight, since it can cause a
glare, which won't allow you to get a clear pic-
ture.
How do I make my own specimens?
Take the object that you want to observe and
place it on a glass slide. Then, add a few drops
of distilled water on the object using a pipette.
Now, place a cover slip vertically at the edge of
the drop of water, so that the water runs along
the edge of the cover slip. Then, slowly lower
the cover slip over the water drops.
Note:
The included glue "gum media" (20b) is used to
make permanent prepared specimens. Use this
in place of the distilled water. If you want to keep
the object in place on the slide permanently, use
the gum media.
Electric Illumination
To use the electric light source (6), you need two
1.5 V batteries, which are installed in the base
of the microscope (7). Remove the rubber base
(8) on the microscope and insert the batteries
according to the displayed +/- information. Re-
attach the rubber base to the microscope.
You can turn on the
light by rotating it in the
direction of the stage
E
(4). Take a look through
the eyepiece and ad-
just the light so that you
get
optimal
brightness. Now you
can observe in the
same way as described
in point 1.3.
The bulbs for the electric light can be replaced.
One replacement bulb (16) is included. When
you use another bulb, make sure to pay attention
to the maximum wattage, which is displayed on
the lamp body.
TIP: The higher the magnifi cation used, the
more light is required for a good illumination of
the picture. Therefore, always start your experi-
ments with one of the lower magnifi cations.
Projector
The included micro-projector (15) is ideal for
looking at a specimen with multiple people at the
same time. To use the projector, you absolutely
must use the electric illuminator. This way, you
can show your results to your friends and family.
