LCD Digital Microscope does not use eyepieces that are used in traditional microscopes. You will view specimens or objects on the LCD screen which are easy to see and you can also enjoy them with others. In addition, you can take snapshots or short videos with the built-in digital camera. Plus, you can view on most TV screens with the AV/TV Cable.
The final sections of this manual provide simple care, maintenance and troubleshooting tips for you to follow to ensure that your microscope provides you with years of quality performance, usage, and enjoyment.

indoors anywhere you please. The battery operation
requires 4AA batteries (user supplied). Open the battery
door on the bottom of the microscope and insert the batteries according to the battery polarity shown in the
battery compartment (Figure 4). After the batteries are
installed close the battery door. Battery life will typically be three hours.
