Below the
Stage…
nMake sure the main power cord is connected
to a power outlet and the switch is on!
nThe Power switch (1) on the microscope is
a red wheel on right side of the base. It slides with a click to turn on, and
you can rotate it further to control the intensity of light.
nThe condenser can be raised or lowered by
turning a small black knob (2). You can gently turn the knob to try this.
nThe focusing knobs (3) are located on both
sides of the microscopes. Do NOT turn them at this stage!
nOn the condenser locate the thin wheel
(4). Turning it controls the amount of light – this is done by an iris
diaphragm inside the condenser.
nThe two knobs (5) move the stage –
side-to-side and front-to-back.
nThe two clips on the stage (6) are used to
hold the slide on the stage.
