Congratulations on the purchase of your new AmScope microscope! This manual is designed for the ZM-4 series microscopes (ZM-4B, ZM-4T, and all their variants).

ZM-4 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. -
