Lenses and Setups

The lenses and setups for the ProScope are identical to those for the L2, described in the
earlier section "Comparing and Installing Lenses."

How to Use the ProScope HR and its Software

When you begin using the ProScope, it's best to begin with the 50X lens; it's the lens that
comes with all kits. Just remember some basic rules to share with your students:
Never immerse the lens tip in a liquid
•
Never touch anyone's eye or mouth with the lens tip
•
Never point the lens at someone's eye
•
Take proper precautions to avoid spread of infection
•
After setting up your scope, make sure the software is
running. If there are no lights shining in your lens, check to be
sure that the light switch is on "A." To get a focused image on
the screen, you must touch the lens tip to the item you wish to
view. It's that simple! Since the actual lens is inside the plastic
housing, you cannot damage it by touching objects to the tip.
Just remember the basic rules listed above.
Note: Holding the tip of the lens flat against the object will give
you the best image.

Saving Images with the ProScope HR

The ProScope HR software allows you to save images, movies, and time-lapse videos. The
tabs at the top of the screen allow you to select which format you want. To capture pictures,
make sure the "Still Image" tab is selected; it will appear red (instead of black). While holding
the tip of the lens on your object of choice, click your mouse on the "Capture!" button on the
upper right-hand side of the screen to save your image. You can also take pictures by pressing
the white button located on the bo.y of the scope just below the lens.
