Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new AmScope microscope! This manual is designed for the 330 series microscopes (B330 & T330). Though the two models have identical bases, the B330 is equipped with a binocular head (two eyepieces tubes), while the T330 is equipped with a trinocular head (two eyepiece tubes and a third photo port on the top).
330 Series Before Use Safety Precautions 1. As the microscope is a precision instrument, always handle it with care, avoiding impact or abrupt movement during transportation. Do not shake the package. 2. Do not place the microscope in direct sunlight or in high heat. Keep it indoors in a dry and clean place with temperatures between 32-100 degrees F (0-40 degrees C), and in maximum relative humidity of 85%.
