Follow these steps to assemble and set up your microscope for initial use.
1. Assembling the Boom Stand
Secure the articulating-arm clamping boom stand to a sturdy desk or table edge using the integrated clamp. Ensure the stand is firmly attached to prevent movement during operation. The pillar is 24 inches high, and the stand offers a 40-inch reach for a large workspace.

2. Attaching the Microscope Head
Mount the trinocular viewing head onto the boom stand's holder ring. The holder ring has a 3-inch diameter. Adjust the head's position for comfortable viewing and optimal working distance. The head allows for X-, Y-, and Z-axes movement.
3. Installing Eyepieces and Objective
Insert the desired pair of eyepieces (WH10x20mm or WH25x9mm) into the eyepiece tubes. The 0.7x-4.5x zoom objective is pre-installed. For extended magnification or working distance, attach the 0.5x or 2.0x Barlow lenses to the objective as needed. The trinocular port can be used as a C-Mount or 23mm photo port.
4. Connecting the LED Ring Light
Attach the 144-bulb LED ring light to the microscope objective. Connect its power supply to a 110V-240V outlet. The ring light provides shadow-free illumination and has a rheostat for intensity control. Its inside diameter is 2.4 inches (61mm) and outside diameter is 4 inches (100mm).

5. Digital Camera Setup
Insert the 5MP digital camera (MU500) into the trinocular port or any 23mm eye tube. Attach the 0.5x reduction lens to the camera. Connect the camera to your computer using the provided USB 2.0 cable. Install the software from the included CD. The software is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8; Mac OS X; and Linux.
Parentah Operasi
1. Powering On and Illumination
Plug in the LED ring light power supply. Use the rheostat control on the light head to adjust the brightness. The LED light provides bright, cool illumination suitable for temperature-sensitive specimens.

2. Nyaluyukeun Pembesaran sareng Fokus
Use the 0.7x-4.5x zoom objective to continuously adjust magnification. The overall magnification range is 3.5x-225x. Rotate the focus rack knobs to bring your specimen into sharp focus. The microscope offers a long working distance, ideal for manipulating objects.
3. Eyepiece and Interpupillary Adjustment
Adjust the interpupillary distance (55 to 75mm) to match your eyes for comfortable binocular viewing. The 45-degree inclination of the viewing head reduces eye and neck strain. Dioptric adjustment on the eyepieces accommodates individual eye strength differences.
4. Ngagunakeun Kaméra Digital
With the camera connected and software installed, you can view live images on your computer screen. The 5MP camera (2592 x 1944 effective pixels) provides a 40x magnification with the 0.5x reduction lens, ensuring a similar field of view to the eyepieces. Use the software to capture still images (JPG, TIF, GIF, PSD, WMF, BMP) and stream live video. The software also includes measurement functions.
