Your microscope is made up of the following parts (Fig. 1-4):

Binocular view piece (with eyepiece supports)
Stereo objective
Eyepieces
Illumination (LED)
Microscope stage (with object plate)
Stage clips
Focus knob
On/off switch
Battery compartment
Mounting screws
Battery contacts (flat sheets and spring terminals)
Diffusion cap

Location

Before you start, choose an ideal location for using your microscope. It is important that you have enough light available (window, desk lamp).

Simple Observation

Place the object to be observed (for example, a rock) in the middle of the microscope stage (5). When the object is large enough, it is best to fix it in place with the stage clips (6).
Now, take a look through the binocular eye lens (1) and change the distance of the eyepiece (3), so that you have a circular, clear image.
The sharpness is adjusted by slowly turning the focus knob (7).

Illumination

Turn off the illumination (4) with the On/Off switch (8). Remove both eyepieces (3) from the eyepiece supports (1) and turn the entire microscope over. In the base of the microscope there is a battery compartment (9). Loosen the 6 fixing screws (10) of the battery compartment cover and remove the cover.
Place the batteries (2x AA) in the compartment so that the flat minus poles (-) press against the spring terminal and the plus poles (+) are touching the flat contact sheets (11).
Put on the cover and fix it with the 6 screws (10). Turn the microscope over again. Place the eyepieces back on. You can not turn on the light (4) with the on/off switch (8) on the base of the microscope.
