General Information

About this instruction manual
Please read the safety instructions in this manual carefully. Use this product only as described in the manual to avoid damage to the device or injury. Keep the operating instructions in a safe place so that you can always keep up to date on all the operating functions.

SD card (not included)
If you want to save photos or videos with your microscope, you need an SD card up to max. 32GB.
Insert it into the slot (4) until it clicks into place. You can even do this when the power is on.
To remove, press the SD card until you hear a clicking sound. Now you can easily pull it out.
If the shutter release button is pressed when the SD card is not inserted, an error message appears: “No card.

General / Location
Before you start setting up your microscope, choose a suitable location. First, make sure that your microscope is placed on a stable, vibration-free surface.
For start-up, the supplied power adapter is connected to the microscope (A) and a 230 V socket. Use the on/off switch (15) of the microscope to switch on the corresponding illumination and turn the brightness control knob (16) to adjust the brightness for optimal illumination of the specimen. (For safety reasons, please use only the supplied power supply. Third-party power supplies may not meet the required technical specifications. Damage caused to the device by third-party power supplies is not covered by the warranty)

Built-in LED lighting
For start-up, the supplied power adapter (A) is connected to the microscope and a 230 V socket. The illumination is switched on with the on/off switch (15) of the microscope “I/0”. The LED illumination is equipped with a continuously adjustable brightness control (16) for optimal illumination of the specimen. By turning the brightness knob, the LED light can be adjusted brighter or darker.
One component of the illumination is the Abbe condenser (10). Adjust it using the height adjustment (14) so that you obtain a well illuminated image field. For most observations, the top position of the condenser is required. The condenser diaphragm (10a) is used to adjust the illumination according to the aperture of the objectives. Correct diaphragm setting ensures optimum resolution. At higher magnifications, the diaphragm must be opened further (turn lever to the left). A (too wide) closed condenser diaphragm will increase contrast and depth of field, but fine details will be lost.

LCD Display & On-Screen Menu
The LCD display (1) is switched on by briefly pressing the On/Off button (2). Immediately after powering on, a live image of the specimen is displayed on the microscope stage as well as the on-screen menu.
The LCD display has a so-called touch function, so that the menu functions can be activated directly at the touch of a finger (see also „On-Screen Menu Controls“).
Press and hold the power button (2) for about 3 seconds to turn off the LCD display.

Observation
Rotate the objective revolver (6) to select the 4x objective for object observation. To do this, place a permanent specimen directly under the objective on the microscope table (7) by clamping it in the table. To do this, first push the specimen holder (11) to the side, place the permanent specimen on the mechanical table and carefully allow the specimen holder to return to the permanent specimen. The object to be observed must be exactly above the illumination. To achieve this, there are two knurled screws on the cross table, the so-called cross table drives (8 and 9). By turning these screws, exact positioning of the object, in the right or left direction and forward or backward is possible.

To focus the specimen, first turn the coarse focusing knob (12). You can achieve precise focusing with the fine focusing (13).
To change the magnification, turn the revolving nosepiece (6) to the 10x objective. Now focus the image using the fine focus only. Proceed with the 40x objective in the same way as with the 10x objective.
The brightness control can be used to optimally adjust the contrast and the imaging quality of the object to be viewed.
By the way: The higher the magnification, the more light is needed for good image quality.

The microscope stage (with vernier graduation)
With the microscope stage (7), you are able to view your specimen accurately and to the millimeter. The specimen is fixed on the microscope stage for observation using the specimen holder (11). Now move the object directly under the objective using the axis adjustment (8 and 9). With the vernier graduation on both axes, you can now move the object “true to size” and view it at different magnifications.

Digital zoom (up to 4x)
The screen magnification can be increased to a maximum of 4x by “pulling apart” with two fingers. By “pushing together” the image can be reduced to its original size again.

Hide / Show on-screen menu
By pressing on a free area of the screen, the menu can be shown or hidden.

Connection to a PC/Laptop
You can transfer images and videos stored on an SD card to a PC/laptop.
To do this, turn the microscope on. Then plug the supplied USB cable (B) into the USB socket of the microscope (3) and into a free socket on the PC/laptop.
The message “Connecting” appears on the screen. If this goes out, you can access the SD. The microscope is now recognised as a mass storage device.
To exit, correctly log off the microscope. Pull out the USB cable. Press and hold the On/Off key (2) for approx. 2-4 seconds. The microscope switches off, which is signaled by the word “Good Bye” on the display (1) and a beep.

WiFi connection
The microscope can transmit the image to a device with HDMI input (e.g. monitor, TV set or beamer).
Plug the supplied HDMI cable (C) into the microscope’s micro HDMI output (3) and into an appropriate receiving device.
Switch on the microscope. After a few seconds, the image appears on the receiving device. The monitor of the microscope remains off.

If the image does not appear on the receiving device, check the settings. If necessary, a look at the manual of the corresponding device will help.
To exit, the microscope screen can be turned off.

NOTE: Images or videos cannot be captured in HDMI mode.

Cleaning & Maintenance

1. Do not disassemble the microscope!
   The microscope is a precision optical instrument and should not be disassembled unnecessarily. This can seriously damage its functionality. Do not disassemble the lenses either!

2. Avoid soiling!
   You should avoid dust or moisture coming into contact with your microscope. Also avoid fingerprints on all optical surfaces! If dust or dirt should nevertheless get onto your microscope or accessories, remove them as described below.

3. Cleaning of non-optical components:
   Before cleaning non-optical components of the microscope (e.g. housing, microscope stage), please disconnect the microscope from the power supply. Dust or dirt on the microscope or accessories should first be removed with a soft brush. Then clean the soiled areas with a soft, lint-free cloth, which you can also dampen with a mild detergent solution beforehand. The residual moisture should be completely dry before using the microscope. Do NOT use solvents such as alcohol, ether, acetone, xylene or other thinners) to clean painted or plastic parts! Special attention is paid to the pressure-sensitive display surface. Dirt or fingerprints should generally only be cleaned with a lightly damp and lint-free cloth. Please do not use any additional cleaning agents!

4. Cleaning of optical components:
   To increase the imaging quality, the objective lenses of the microscope are coated to a high standard. They should not be wiped dry, as dry dirt or dust can scratch the sensitive coating. For easier cleaning of the objectives, unscrew them from the turret. Then always blow the loose dust off the lens surfaces first. Use good quality lens wipes or soft cloth, slightly moistened with pure alcohol (available in pharmacies) and wipe the lens surface clean with it.

5. Non-use:
   After use, cover the microscope with the dust cover and place it in a dry and mold-free place. In case of prolonged non-use, we recommend storing all lenses in a closed container with desiccant.

Remember: A well-maintained microscope will retain its optical quality and thus its value for years to come.
