get the greatest benefit from your precision in- strument. Then try out the experiments to be- gin your investigation of the fascinating world around you. 

## How do I use my microscope? 

Before you use your microscope, make sure that the table, desk, or surface that you place it on is stable and is not subject to vibration. If the microscope needs to be moved, hold it by the arm and base while carefully transfer- ring it. 

Install two “AA” batteries (not included) in the battery box, located in the base of the microscope. Remove the rubber base with a screwdriver, and insert the batteries accord- ing to the displayed +/- information. Reattach the rubber base with the screw. 

Once the microscope is in a suitable location and the batteries are installed, check the light source to make sure that it illuminates. Use a microfiber cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lenses off. If the stage is dirty with dust or oil, carefully clean it off. Make sure that you only raise and lower the stage using the focus adjustment knob. 

## How do I operate the illumination? 

Locate the mirror/light on the base of the microscope. Flip the mirror/light to the on position (with the light facing up) and the light will illuminate. This microscope is equipped with an incandescent light that illuminates the specimen from below. The color filter 

wheel (Fig. 5) is located in the middle of the microscope stage (Fig. 3). The filters help you when you are observing very bright or clear specimens. Using these filters, you can choose various brightness levels and colors. This helps you better recognize the compo- nents of colorless or transparent objects (e.g. grains of starch, or protozoa). 

## How do I adjust my microscope correctly? 

Place the microscope in a suitable location as described above, and sit in a comfortable view- ing position. Always start each observation with the lowest magnification. Adjust the distance of the microscope stage (Fig. 3) so that the stage is in the lowest position, farthest away from tur- ret head. Turn the objective turret (Fig. 7) until it clicks into place at the lowest magnification (Ob- jective 15X/300X). Note: Before you change the objective setting, always make sure the micro- scope stage (Fig. 3) is farthest away from turret by rotating the focus knob (Fig. 2). Separating the stage and turret by rotating the focus knob will avoid causing damage to the specimen slide or microscope. When starting an observation, al- ways start with the 15X/300X objective (Fig. 7) in the rotating head (Fig. 3). 

Quick Fact — The highest magnification is not always the best for every specimen!
