How To Use The 1X Lens - scope LSU VL-7EX II User Manual

Handheld Microscope Users Guide
When using the 200X lens for the first time, it's easiest
to get a focused image of something flat (e.g. paper,
fabric, or a prepared slide). Touch the tip of the clear
dome to the object you'd like to view. While continuing
to touch the object, rotate the white, scalloped ring in
one direction. If the focus is not cleared up, try rotating
the ring in the opposite direction. Keep in the mind that
several turns of the ring may be necessary to achieve
the proper focus. Once the lens is focused on the flat
object, only slight adjustments will be necessary when
viewing other objects.
The REC and PLAY buttons work the same with this
lens, so follow the instructions in the 30X lens section.
The lights in the 200X lens, however, cannot be
polarized.

How to Use the 1X Lens

The 1X lens is different from the 30X and 200X lenses in
several ways:
It does not have its own lights, so it cannot be used
•
as a "touch lens."
Its magnification is variable–the closer the object is
•
to the lens, the higher the magnification. Objects that
are far away will actually appear smaller than they
are in real life.
It can be used as a video camera and/or a document
•
camera.
Since the 1X lens is not a "touch lens," it is
recommended to secure the scope in a stand. This will
help the scope remain stable and avoid the "home movie
effect." After following the instructions in the following
section ("Using the Stand") you will be ready to begin
using the 1X lens.
The black ring around the tip of the lens is the focusing mechanism. Turn the ring to focus on
the object of your choice. As with the 200X lens, if the image does not get clearer, try turning
the ring in the opposite direction.
Try this tip if the color of your image does not seem right (everything might have a yellow hue):
If you have the "New" SOAR, turn the scope off and then back on by pressing the power
•
switch on the cradle. Press the LIGHT button to go back to the previous light setting.
