Microscope Operation Viewing Objects and Slides - You can view coins, stamps, currency, gems, plants, foods, circuit boards, specimen slides, and many other things. You need to read the information about focusing, power, and illumination below before proceeding.

The focus knob takes some getting used to - rotate past the focus and then back as you will see how to obtain the best focus position. After some usage the sharp focus position will be easy to find. 1. Always start with the lowest power (10 to 40x) which is obtained when the focus knob is turned to the left as shown above. 2. When the microscope is positioned directly on or over an object, then this will be 40x. If you hold the microscope slightly above the object the power will decrease gradually to 10x as you move further away (up to about 1" or 25 mm). You will have to refocus at each position. 3. For high power, you will move the focus knob almost all the way to the right which will give you 150x. At the high power, your views will be greatly 4
