Remove the plastic cover from the eyepiece holder on the microscope's head, then place an eyepiece into the holder. Locate the power adapter and attach it to the microscope, then plug it in. Turn the microscope on by pressing the power button. IV. Using the microscope Turn the microscope on and choose the lower lamp setting.
Rotate the monocular head to either the forward- or backward-facing position, depending on what is most comfortable for viewing. Look through the eyepiece and adjust the bulb brightness to a comfortable intensity with the dimmer wheel. Always start with the lowest magnification objective lens centered over the stage, in this case the 4x objective. Look through the eyepiece and bring the image into focus by slowly turning the larger coarse adjustment focus knob to bring the stage closer to the objective.
*Caution: Never disassemble the electrical, mechanical,or optical components. This servicing should only be done by a Swift technician.
