Thank you for purchasing the Celestron Inﬁ niView™ LCD Digital Microscope with a 5MP sensor and 3.5” color LCD screen. Your microscope is a precision optical instrument, made of the highest quality materials to ensure durability and long life. It is designed to give you a lifetime of pleasure with a minimal amount of maintenance.

Before attempting to use your microscope, please read through the instructions and reference the diagrams below. Familiarizing yourself with the many features of the Celestron Inﬁ niView™ microscope will go a long way to making your experience enjoyable.

The Inﬁ niView™ microscope provides low power viewing from 4x to 160x using the built-in software and LCD screen. For additional magniﬁ cation up to 800x, connect the microscope to your PC. (Magniﬁ cation depends on monitor size.) Inﬁ niView™ is a low magniﬁ cation power microscope, mainly suited for examining specimens like coins, stamps, rocks, electronics, insects, and other 3D objects. Specimens on slides can be viewed with top illumination, but this microscope is not ideal for this purpose. See some of our biological microscopes more suited to this type of viewing at www.celestron.com.

IN ThE BOX

The Celestron InfiniView™ LCD Digital Microscope does not use an eyepiece like a traditional microscope. Instead, the camera sensor “sees” the specimen with 10x magniﬁ cation, and the image is displayed on the high resolution color LCD screen. This makes viewing fun, cuts down on neck and eye strain and allows for easy sharing with others. Recording still images and video is a snap. Saving, transferring and sharing your image ﬁ les is quick and easy with the included 2.0 USB cable and your home computer. Additionally, you can view on most TV screens with the AV/TV Cable.

Take some time to read the simple care, maintenance and troubleshooting tips provided for you in this manual to ensure that your Inﬁ niView™ microscope provides you with years of quality performance, usage, and enjoyment.

Make sure the X,Y Guide is set to “On” by selecting it in the Options Menu.

Take a still image. The image will be displayed in the column on the right side of the screen.

Set the height of the microscope and focus on your specimen. Then, replace your specimen with the calibration ruler.

Re-adjust the focus and align the calibration ruler so that the lines on the ruler are parallel with the vertical line on the X,Y Guide.

Double click the saved image to open it in the Image Preview screen.

Click on the Calibration icon

Click and drag a line across a “known value” on the ruler image. Try to keep the line as perpendicular to the lines on the ruler as possible.

The “Adjust magniﬁcation” window will pop up as shown here.

In the box “Actual Dimension”, enter the “known value” from the calibration ruler

18 I ENGLISH

To ensure that calibration was successful, go back to the Image Capture screen.

Click the ruler icon and from the dropdown menu select the option “Any Angle Line”

Click and drag a line across the same “known value” as before.

If the calibration was successful, the distance you measured should be exact to the “known value”

To capture images without changing the height or magniﬁ cation, click on the Calibration icon. In the dropdown menu, select “Set Magniﬁ cation,” then “Set Capture Magniﬁ cation.”

A pop-up window will appear. Type in the magniﬁ cation shown in the upper right corner of the main window.

10. CArE AnD MAinTEnAnCE

Your microscope with digital camera is a precision optical instrument and should be treated with care at all times. Follow these care and maintenance suggestions and your microscope will need very little maintenance throughout its lifetime.

Store your microscope in a dry, clean place.

Never use your microscope where operation of such

devices is restricted. Improper use creates the risk of serious accident.

Do not try to access the internal components of your

microscope or attempt to modify it in any way. Only authorized technicians should perform maintenance or repairs.

Keep your microscope away from water and other liquids.

Never use it in the rain or snow. Moisture creates the danger of ﬁre and electric shock.

To clean dust or smudges from the LCD screen or other

optical component, ﬁrst blow the dust off with a camel’s hair brush or air blower. Then use the included dry, microﬁber cloth to wipe the surface.

If the exterior surfaces of your microscope need cleaning,

wipe with a moist cloth.

11. TroUBLEsHooTing

Ensure that the power is on.

Check the battery power and recharge the battery if necessary.

Verify that the object you want to magnify is positioned correctly under the lens.

Clean the screen and lens carefully with the included microﬁber cloth.

Ensure that the television is on.

Switch to the appropriate video input channel on your television. (This will vary by manufacturer.)

Ensure that the video cable is securely connected to the microscope’s Video Out port and plugged into the correct video input on your television

Make sure the cable is plugged into the proper port.

Check that the outlet has power and is not malfunctioning. If the outlet is connected to a wall switch, make sure that the switch is on.

2. INTRODUCTION

Nous vous remercions d’avoir acheté le Microscope numérique ACL Celestron Inﬁ niView MC avec un capteur de 5 Mpx et un écran ACL couleur de 3,5 po. Votre microscope est un instrument optique de précision fabriqué à partir de matériaux de haute qualité pour assurer sa durabilité pendant de nombreuses années. Il est conçu pour vous donner des moments de plaisir avec un minimum d’entretien.

Avant de tenter d’utiliser votre microscope, veuillez lire les instructions et consulter les schémas ci-dessous. Vous familiariser avec les nombreuses fonctionnalités du microscope Celestron Inﬁ niView MC contribuera grandement à vous faire vivre une expérience agréable.

Le microscope Inﬁ niView MC offre une visualisation à faible puissance de 4x à 160x en utilisant un logiciel intégré et un écran ACL. Pour obtenir un agrandissement supplémentaire jusqu’à 800x, branchez le microscope à votre ordinateur. (Le grossissement dépend de la taille du moniteur) Inﬁ niView MC est un microscope à faible de puissance de grossissement, conçu principalement pour l’examen d’échantillons tels que pièces de monnaie, timbres, roches, pièces électroniques, insectes et autres objets en 3D. Les échantillons déposés sur des lames peuvent être visualisés avec un éclairage par le haut, mais ce microscope n’est pas idéal à cette ﬁ n. Voyez certains de nos microscopes biologiques plus adaptés à ce type de visionnement au www.celestron.com.

CONTENU dE LA BOÎTE

Le microscope numérique ACL Celestron Inﬁ niview MC n’a pas d’oculaires comme un microscope traditionnel. Au lieu de cela, le capteur de la caméra « voit » l’échantillon avec un grossissement de 10x, et l’image est afﬁ chée sur l’écran ACL couleur de haute résolution. Cela rend afﬁ chage amusant, élimine la fatigue du cou et la fatigue oculaire, et permet de partager facilement le visionnement avec d’autres. L’enregistrement d’images ﬁ xes et des vidéos est un jeu d’enfant. L’enregistrement, le transfert ou le partage de vos ﬁ chiers image est rapide et facile avec le câble USB 2.0 et votre ordinateur à la maison. De plus, vous pouvez visionner sur la plupart des écrans de télévision avec le câble AV/TV.
