Assembly and set up
Begin by carefully removing the microscope from its box, placing it on a sturdy, flat surface. Detach the plastic cover from the eyepiece holder atop the microscope, then gently fit an eyepiece into the holder. Find the power adapter, connect it to the microscope, and plug it in. Activate the microscope by pressing the power button.
Using the microscope
Switch on the microscope and select the lower lamp setting. Use the illumination intensity control dimming handwheel to adjust the lamp to the lowest brightness setting, ensuring optimal visibility and comfort.
Secure your desired slide using the slide clips on the stage, ensuring it remains firmly in place for examination.
Rotate the monocular head to either a forward- or backward-facing position, depending on your viewing preference. Peer through the eyepiece, adjusting the bulb brightness to a comfortable level using the dimmer wheel.
Commence with the lowest magnification objective lens, the 4x, centered over the stage. Peer through the eyepiece and focus the image by gently turning the larger coarse adjustment focus knob, bringing the stage gradually closer to the objective.
Upon forming an image, switch to the precise blue fine adjustment focus knob to refine clarity or reveal the intricate layers of the specimen. Carefully shift the slide across the stage to explore various segments of the specimen slide.
To enhance magnification, rotate the nosepiece clockwise to a higher magnification objective, ensuring you avoid contact with the slide. If necessary, use the coarse focus knob to lower the stage and create space before adjusting the magnification.
*For incident mode operation, switch the illumination to the upper light within the body. Position a solid specimen, such as hair or pollen, on the stage with the objective lenses set at the lowest magnification. Follow the focusing steps to unveil magnified details.
Caring for your microscope
Store your microscope, a precision instrument, in a cool, dry place. Protect it with a dust cover when not in use. If cleaning is needed, use a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust, avoiding direct contact with optical surfaces. Refrain from disassembling optical components. Protect the eyepiece holder and ocular lens with the plastic cover when not in use.
Troubleshooting
For any issues, there are easy, self-service solutions available before reaching out to customer support. Here are some common problems and their simple resolutions to try first.
*Caution: Never disassemble the electrical, mechanical, or optical components. This servicing should only be done by a Swift technician.
