Setting Up Your Microscope 1. Carefully remove the microscope from the box and set it on a table, desk, or other flat surface. 2. Remove the plastic bag covering the microscope. 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. Focusing & Changing Power (Magnification) - When the microscope is placed directly on/over the object or slide; use the focus ring to obtain a sharp focus. The focus ring 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 higher power (30x) which is obtained when the focus ring is on/over the object. Focus should be sharp if using for the first time but if not you need to turn the focus ring slightly to obtain a sharp focus. 2. If you hold the microscope slightly above the object the power will decrease gradually to 15x as you move further away (up to about 14 mm). You will have to refocus at each position. 4
