Setting Up Your Microscope and Table Stand

(Table stand included with mo de ls #6730 and #6750)

the base of the stand (Figure 2).

3. To swivel the ring arm, loosen the knob
at top of stand, reposition ring arm, then
tighten knob again (Figure 3).

Microscope Operation
Viewing Objects You can view coins, stamps,

currency, gems, plants, foods, circuit boards,
specimen slides, and many other things. Please
read the information about focusing and power
below before proceeding. Adjust Dimmer Dial to
change LED brightness.

Focusing & Changing Power (Magnification)

When the microscope is placed directly over the
object or slide, use the focus ring (Figure 5) to
obtain a sharp focus. The focus ring takes some
getting used to – rotate past the focus and then
back to focus to find the best focus position.
After some practice the sharp focus position will
be easy to find.

When the microscope is positioned directly on or
over an object, this will be 10x magnification. If
you hold the microscope slightly above the
object the power will decreased as you move
further away (about ½” or 13mm). Moving the
microscope up or down either decreases or
increases the magnification. However, focus will
need to be re-adjusted. Attaching it to the metal
stand allows you to more easily control the
image by simply adjusting the focus knob.
However, the stand is not necessary to enjoy
using the handheld microscope.
