<strong>Microscope</strong> OperationBefore looking at slide specimens you must remove the protective cover over the <strong>LCD</strong> screen, turn the <strong>LCD</strong> on, turn on the illuminator,and understand how to use the slide holder and then you are ready to begin viewing.ESC (Change) KeyMenu KeyMonitor On LEDDirection/OK KeysPower On/OffButtonSnap KeyFigure 4<strong>LCD</strong> ModuleThis digital microscope is different than traditional microscopes --- instead of using eyepieces to look at a specimen in a traditionalmicroscope, the <strong>LCD</strong> monitor replaces the eyepieces so you can look at the specimen on the screen by yourself or share the views withothers. To begin to view specimens with your microscope, you will have to turn the <strong>LCD</strong> monitor on by turning the Power Button “On”(see Figure 4). Push the button once and shortly the Monitor On LED (red color) will come on indicating the <strong>LCD</strong> monitor is “On”.That is basically all you need to do to use the <strong>LCD</strong> screen for viewing specimens. The various keys on the <strong>LCD</strong> Module are mainly usedfor taking images (snapshots and video) and will be discussed later in this manual.Illumination1. To turn the illuminator on, see Figure 5 below and turn the control dial to the left.2. The illuminator is used for specimen slides where the light shines up through the holein the stage through the slide.3. Rotate the illuminator dial to the brightness level desired when viewing specimens.Adjusting the LightingFigure 5Specimens of different size, thickness, and color variations will require different levels of illumination. There are two ways to change theamount of illumination when viewing a specimen; adjusting the brightness on the dial shown above in Figure 5 and changing the EVfunction on the <strong>LCD</strong> monitor. The EV (exposure value for brightness) function increases or decreases the brightness level by using theLeft and Right arrow keys on the <strong>LCD</strong> monitor.When viewing a specimen that is not transparent or dark in color, you may need to increase the amount of light to resolve certain featuresor details. This is best done by simply increasing the brightness of the illuminator by rotating the brightness control dial all the way to itshighest setting.Optimum lighting will be found by experimenting with adjustments as each specimen may require slightly different illumination as wellas the same specimens viewed under different powers.4
