Viewing Objects and Slides — You can view coins,
stamps, currency, gems, plants, foods, circuit boards,
specimen slides, and many other things. You need
to read the information about focusing, power, and
illumination below before proceeding.
Focusing & Changing Power (Magnification) —
When the microscope is placed directly on/over the
object or slide; use the focus ring to obtain a sharp
focus. The focus ring takes some getting used to –
rotate past the focus and then back as you will see
how to obtain the best focus position. After some
usage the sharp focus position will be easy to find.
1. Always start with the higher power (30x) which
is obtained when the focus ring is on/over the
object. Focus should be sharp if using for the first time but if not you need
to turn the focus ring slightly to obtain a sharp focus.
2. If you hold the microscope slightly above the object the power will
decrease gradually to 15x as you move further away (up to about 14 mm).
You will have to refocus at each position.
