Installation
- Déballage: Retirez soigneusement tous les composants de l'emballage. Conservez l'emballage pour un stockage ou un transport ultérieur.
- Placement: Place the microscope on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, dust, and vibrations.
- Connexion électrique :
- Alimentation secteur : Connect the AC power adapter to the microscope's power input jack and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
- Puissance de la batterie : Open the battery compartment (usually located at the base) and insert 3 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. This allows for portable use.
- Installation de l'oculaire : Insert the desired eyepiece (e.g., 10X or 25X) into the top of the monocular head.
- Cache-poussière : When not in use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover to protect it from dust and debris.
Mode d'emploi
- Mise sous tension : Flip the power switch (usually located at the base) to turn on the illumination.
- Sélection d'éclairage :
- Lumière inférieure : Use for transparent specimens (e.g., prepared slides). Adjust the intensity using the dimmer control.
- Lumière supérieure : Use for opaque specimens (e.g., leaves, insects). Adjust the intensity using the dimmer control.
- Dépôt d'un spécimen : Déposez une lame préparée ou votre propre échantillon sur la lame.tage. Secure it with the staget des clips.
- Sélection du grossissement : Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select the lowest power objective lens (e.g., 4X). This provides the widest field of view and makes initial focusing easier.
- Mise au point :
- Regardez à travers l'oculaire.
- Utilisez le molette de mise au point grossière (larger knob) to bring the specimen into approximate focus. Turn it slowly to raise or lower the stage.
- Once roughly focused, use the molette de mise au point fine (smaller knob) for precise, sharp focusing.
- Adjusting Diaphragm: The single lens condenser with a 6-hole disc diaphragm controls the amount of light passing through the specimen. Rotate the disc to adjust the aperture size, optimizing contrast and resolution for your specimen.
- Augmenterasing Magnification: Once focused at low power, rotate the revolving nosepiece to a higher power objective lens (e.g., 10X, 40X). Re-adjust focus using only the fine focus knob. For 1000X magnification, use the 100X objective with the 10X eyepiece, or 40X objective with 25X eyepiece.

Dépannage
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pas d'éclairage | Power switch off, batteries depleted/incorrectly inserted, AC adapter disconnected. | Turn on power switch, replace/reinsert batteries, check AC adapter connection. |
| Image floue/hors de la mise au point | Incorrect focusing, objective lens not fully clicked into place, dirty lens. | Adjust coarse and fine focus knobs, rotate nosepiece until objective clicks, clean objective/eyepiece lenses. |
| Champ sombre de view | Diaphragm closed too much, light intensity too low, wrong illumination source for specimen. | Adjust diaphragm, increase light intensity, switch between top/bottom light as appropriate. |
| Dust/spots visible in view | Poussière sur l'oculaire ou la lentille d'objectif. | Clean eyepiece and objective lenses carefully. |
