How To Use The Stand - scope LSU VL-7EX II User Manual

Handheld Microscope Users Guide
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–"How to Use the Stand"–you are ready to begin using the
1X lens.
The gray, grooved ring around the tip of the lens is the focusing mechanism. Turn the ring to
focus on the object of your choice. If the image does not get clearer, try turning the ring in the
opposite direction.

How to Use the Stand

The stand that comes with the L2/ProScope education kit comes in handy when using the 1X
lens, using the 30X/50X with the contact tip depressed, or in any situation where you might want
to use the scope hands-free. Some people find that it is difficult to hold and focus the higher
magnification lenses, so securing the scope in its stand can aid in obtaining well-focused
images.
To put the scope in the stand, locate the screw attachment on the underside of the scope.
Hold the scope up to the screw on the stand. Turn the screw clockwise to secure it to the scope.
Make sure to screw it on tightly so that the scope doesn't wiggle around.
Spread the legs of the stand to give you maximum stability. You can use the stand in a variety
of positions, and it can be extended to give greater distance from the object you wish to view. It
can also be twisted at an angle for viewing the sides of objects.
