Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new AmScope microscope! This manual is designed for the 660 series microscopes (B660 & T660). Though the two models have identical bases, the B660 is equipped with a binocular head (two eyepieces tubes), while the T660 is equipped with a trinocular head (two eyepiece tubes and a third photo port on the top).
660 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%.

660 Series Getting Started Assembly 1. First, take the styrofoam container out of the cardboard carton and lay it on its side, paying attention to which side is labeled up. Remove the tape and open the container carefully so as to avoid dropping and damaging the optical items.
660 Series Operation Setting Up 1. Loosen the head lock screw and adjust the microscope head so that it is in a comfortable position for observa- tion. Lock the head-lock screw. 2. With both eyes open, look into the eyepieces. Adjust the interpupillary distance by holding the eyepiece tubes and rotating the eyepiece tubes either towards or away from each other until only one circle of light is seen by both eyes.
Using the Trinocular Port The AmScope T660 model is uniquely designed so that you can view the image through the eyepieces and the trinocular port simultaneously. This feature allows the images through the microscope’s eyepieces, and those displayed on your computer screen or television be viewed at the same time (although unless using 20x eyepieces to match your camera, the image may differ in magnification).
660 Series Operation Setting the Stage’s Stop-Limit 1. Unlock the stop-limit, which is the switch inside the left hand focusing knob. 2. Adjust the stage to the desired maximum height. 3. Lock the stop-limit. This will allow you to limit the movement of the stage from the bottom of the range up to the point that it is set at.
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.
