Microscope assembly
Open the battery compartment and insert the battery into the battery
compartment matching the indicated polarity. The battery has to be fully charged
before turning the microscope on for the rst time. Plug the power cable into the
power cable socket on the microscope body (7) and connect it to a power source.
The battery status indicator (4) will turn red. Once the battery is fully charged,
the indicator will go out. You can now disconnect the microscope from the power
source and turn it on. The fully-charged battery allows you to use the microscope
for 2.5 hours. The illumination will grow dim and the image quality will decrease
to inform you that the battery is low. Charge the battery, as described above.
A microSD card (purchased separately) is required to save captured images and
recorded videos. Turn the microscope o and insert the microSD card into the
corresponding slot on the microscope body until it locks in place with a click. Do
not apply excessive force when inserting the microSD card. Try rotating the card,
if it does not lock in place with ease. Format the card before using it. To turn the
microscope on, open the LCD display or press the power button (17). To turn the
microscope o, fold the LCD display or press the power button (17) again (refer to
Power saving section for more information).

stage and focus your view. Make sure that the vertical axis of the grid is parallel to
scale divisions and capture an image. Double-click the image thumbnail to open it in
a separate window.
Click the corresponding icon on the toolbar to begin calibration. Using your mouse,
choose two points on the image (you have to know the actual distance between these
two points). Once you choose the second point, a dialog window will open, where you
have to enter the known distance in the Actual dimension eld. The application will
automatically calculate the magnication of the image. Click OK to close the dialog
window. The calculated magnication will be displayed in the Magnication eld.
Note: Chosen points should form a horizontal line.
You can check calibration results by measuring the same distance with the Straight line
tool. Click the measurements icon, choose the Straight line tool and draw a similar line on
the image. If the measured distance is equal to the actual distance, calibration has been
successful.
Recalibration
The calibration process has to be repeated if the magnication or focus has been
changed during observations.
Click the corresponding icon on the toolbar again and select Reset picture
magnication from Reset magnication. Repeat the calibration process, as described
above. Change the magnication and capture a few images. Double-click one of the
thumbnails to open the resulting image in a preview window. Click the calibration
icon on the toolbar and select Set picture magnication from Set magnication.
Enter the current magnication in the dialog window that appears and click OK.
If you want to use the same magnication when capturing images in the future, click
the calibration icon on the toolbar and select Set capture magnication from Set
magnication.
