Page 4: Safety Precautions
Before Use Safety Precautions 1. As the microscope is a precision instrument, always handle it with care, avoiding impact or abrupt movement during transporation. Do not shake the package. 2. Do not place the microscope in direct sunlight or in high heat. Keap it indoors in a dry and clean place with temperateures between 32-100 degrees F (0-40 degrees C), and in maximum relative humidity of 85%. -

Page 11: Operation
Operation Setting Up 1. Place the specimen to be studied on a glass slide (or use a prepared slide). Place it on the stage, holding it snugly in place with the metal slide holders (clips) of the stage. If you do not have a prepared slide and have not prepared your own yet, you may skip to the next page for instructions, then return here to proceed. -
Page 12: Using The Touchpad
Operation Using the Touchpad 1. The touchpad is based on Android OS architecture, and behaves like an Android tablet. To use the software for image capture, please press the software button (Touchview) from the home page. If for any reason it is not on your home page, you may tap the “Applications”... -
Page 13: Touchpad Language Options
Operation Touchpad Language Options Although not common, the touchpads are indeed made overseas, which includes quality control testing. As such, once in a while, the touchpad itself can come set in languages other than English. To aid in changing the language to English (or any other language, if desired), this section will provide picture and locational informa- tion regarding what to press. -
Page 14: Preparing A Slide
Preparing a Slide Note: Not all packages sold by AmScope include blank slides, cover slips, or a preparation kit. If you do not have any and did not purchase a package that lists those items as included, please visit www.amscope.com to purchase those items. -
Page 15: Preparing A Slide (Continued)
Operation Preparing a Slide (Continued) 3. Place the cover slip at an approximately 45 degree angle to the slide with one edge touching the water drop. Gently let the cover slip go, which will cause it to fall onto the specimen and settle flat. If too much water or too large of a sample is used, you may use a soft, lint free optical cloth or kimwipe to cover your finger and gently press it flat, or start over with a new, thinner sample, or less water. -
Page 16: Staining A Slide
Operation Staining a Slide 1. Place one drop of Methylene Blue (or other stain, sold separately) on one edge of the cover slip, and place the flat edge of a paper towel on the other edge. 2. As the paper towel draws the water out from under the coverslip on one side, the flow of liquid will draw the stain in under the coverslip from the other side. -
Page 17: Adjusting The Diaphragm
Operation Adjusting The Diaphragm By changing the aperture (hole size) of the iris diaphragm, you can adjust the background brightness. Adjust the aperture of the iris diaphragm by sliding the iris dial left or right until the desired aperture is achieved (where the numerical marking corresponds to the magnification of the objective in use). -
Page 18: Attaching A Camera / Changing Eyepieces
Attaching a Camera / Changing Eyepieces Eyepieces: The B620-TS-5MP series microscopes have easy to insert and remove eyepieces and camera port (B620-TS-5MP model only). To change eyepieces out, one simply pulls on the eyepiece to slide it out of the ocular tube, and inserts the new eyepiece. -
Page 19: Maintenance/Precautions
- After use, cover the microscope with a dust cover or bag to prevent dust from settling on the microscope. This unit does not come with a dust cover, so one must be purchased separately if desired. - Keep your AmScope microscope in a dry, clean location in order to prevent rust or other damage. Changing the Bulb The B620 is lit by an LED bulb, which is on a board of its own, and is not easily replaced. -
