Check carefully to ensure that all parts and accessories are intact. Check the packing list to ensure that you’re received all items. Please note that this can vary depending on which model you’ve purchased, and is generally listed on www.amscope.com at the items’ details page for your specific model.
SE300 Series Operation Setting Up 1. Once you have placed your sample on the table or base below the objective, center the sample as best as possible. A slide is neither needed nor required for a stereo microscope, although they can be used if desired.
Attaching a Camera If you have an AmScope MD series camera, you only need the 30.5mm adapter that comes with it to attach it to SE300 series microscope. However, you may need an adapter if you have a non-AmScope brand camera.
Doing so will void your warranty unless by advisement of one of our technicians to do so. - After use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover. - Keep your AmScope microscope in a dry, clean location in order to prevent rust or other damages.
