Description de l'image : A young girl is intently looking through the eyepiece of the yellow and blue microscope. Surrounding her are circular insets displaying magnified views of various cellular structures at 100x, 600x, and 1200x, illustrating the microscope's magnification capabilities.

  • Oculaire: The eyepiece offers 10X-20X adjustable magnification. Rotate the eyepiece to select your desired magnification.
  • Objectifs : Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select the objective lens (10X, 30X, or 60X). The total magnification is the eyepiece magnification multiplied by the objective lens magnification (e.g., 10X eyepiece * 10X objective = 100X total magnification).

3. Mise au point

While looking through the eyepiece, slowly turn the coarse focus knob (the larger knob on the side) to bring the specimen into focus. Start with the lowest magnification objective for easier focusing, then switch to higher magnifications as needed.

4. Dual LED Illumination

Description de l'image : This image highlights the dual illumination feature. The top panel shows the bottom LED light illuminating a slide from underneath (transmitted light), while the bottom panel shows the top LED light shining down onto a specimen (incident light). This demonstrates how different types of specimens can be viewéd.

The microscope features both top (incident) and bottom (transmitted) LED lights. Use the switch on the base to turn on the illumination. The bottom light is ideal for transparent specimens on slides, while the top light is suitable for opaque, 3D objects.

5. Rotating Color Filter Wheel
