Setting Up Your Microscope and Table Stand
(Table stand included with mo de ls #6730 and #6750)

2. To adjust the height of the stand, rotate 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).
4. Attach handheld microscope to table stand by sliding it into the plastic ring on arm of table stand (Figure 4).
5. Remove the clear cap on the end of the handheld microscope before each use. Replace cap after use to keep out dust.
6. Plug the USB cable into your computer.

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.

Care, Maintenance, and Warranty
Your handheld microscope & 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.
Always place the plastic dust cap on the end of the eyepiece when not in use or when being
stored.
Store the microscope in a dry and clean place. Be very careful if using your microscope in direct sun light to prevent damage to the microscope
or your eyes.
Never point the sensor on the camera towards the sun or the camera can be damaged and cease
working.
Clean the outside surfaces with a moist cloth. Never clean optical surfaces with cloth or paper towels as they can scratch optical surfaces easily. Blow off dust with a camel’s hair brush or air blower off optical surfaces. To clean fingerprints off of optical surfaces, use a lens cleaning agent and lens tissue available at
most photo outlets and when cleaning do not rub in circles as this may cause streaks or scratches to occur.
Never disassemble or clean internal optical surfaces. This should be done by qualified
technicians at the factory or other authorized repair facilities.
Do not disassemble or take apart the digital camera or damage can occur. When handling glass specimen slides, use care as the edges can be sharp
