Introduction
The Omegon USB hand microscope provides you with an instrument with which you can
see even the smallest objects enormously magnified on your PC screen. This microscope
consists of an optical system and a CMOS sensor, which magnify your specimens and
make them visible digitally. The eight lighting LEDs are arranged in a circle to ensure the
specimen is always perfectly illuminated - allowing you to examine the object using the
supplied software or even save images or video sequences.
Set up and installation
Your microscope comes with a USB cable and a software CD. Make sure that your
computer has the necessary hardware before you install: a USB 2.0 port and Windows
XP, Vista, Win7, Win8 or Mac 10.4.
1. Plug the microscope cable into the USB port of your PC. The LED light will flash briefly,
meaning the cable is functioning correctly.

3. You will now see the start screen for installing the CD. Please click on "Install Future

Observing and taking pictures with the USB microscope
Start the Future Win Joe program which is now installed on your computer. After starting
the program, the following start window will appear, from which you can carry out all the

the webcam icon.
