About the Digital Microscope
Your new digital microscope incorporates a built in camera with data transmission made possible through a simple
plug and play USB cable. In order to achieve optimum results, it is important that you carefully read both this and the
software instructions before operating your microscope or camera.
UNPACKING
1. The microscope and accessories have been carefully packed to assure that they reach you in the best possible
condition. Carefully remove all components and check against this list.
A. Microscope and built-in camera with attached USB cable, WF10x eyepiece, 2x objective lens, stand with
cordless LED incidental illumination, rechargeable batteries, stage clips, and reversible black and white
stage plate.
B. Auxiliary 2X objective lens.
C. Recharger
D. Motic Images software
E. Two instruction manuals: this one and separate supplement documentation
F. Calibration slide
G. Dustcover
H. Warranty card
2. Save packing container in case it becomes necessary to ship the microscope for any reason. Repack in the
styrofoam container, and then pack the styrofoam in other corrugated shipping container for optimum
protection. Use of the styrofoam alone will not provide adequate protection in transit, and will void your
warranty.
