Press the REC button to get back to live capture mode. You can take as many pictures as you
want during a class session, but these images will not be saved after the scope is turned off. To
save these images permanently, you will need to use a converter and connect your scope to a
computer.
The steps above can be used with any of the three lenses. In fact, you can switch lenses to
compare items at two different magnifications at once. This split screen feature is great for
students to compare and contrast two objects!

Non-Contact Viewing
What if you want to examine an object that you cannot touch? Perhaps it's behind glass (such
as a fish in an aquarium), the object is wet, or it has a complex structure that cannot be touched
(such as the inside of a small geode). The contact tip of the 30X lens can be removed by simply
pulling it off. Since you will not touch the object, it is best to put the scope in the stand before
trying this "non-contact" setup (see section "Using the Stand" for set-up instructions).
Notice (at left) that the mouth of the sea star is not in focus because the scope isn't able to touch it. When the
contact tip is removed, at right, the scope can see further into the sea star, bringing the mouth into focus.
