CAUTION: Be careful not to touch the slide with the objective lens. You can break the slide and/or the lens by touching the slide with the lens.

NOTE: The view presented in the eyepiece is upside-down and reversed from left to right of the object. In other words, if you wish to examine more of the left side, move the slide to the right. Or if you wish to examine more of the top of the image, move the slide down— and vice-versa.

CAUTION: When you are finished observing, be sure to turn the light source around, if necessary, so that it turns off and doesn’t wear down the batteries. Remove the bat- teries before stor- ing the microscope for a month or longer.

the 10X eyepiece into the microscope, if nec- essary. Turn the objective turret (R, Fig. 1) to the shortest objective (4X).

2.Put one of the prepared glass slides (D, Fig. 1) under the stage clips (T, Fig. 1) and posi- tion the prepared specimen over the hole in the stage.

3.Look through the eyepiece (P, Fig. 1) and slowly turn the focus knob until the specimen can be seen in focus.

4.Observe what happens when you slowly move the light source (U, Fig. 1) or the mirror. Adjust the mirror or light source to provide the amount of light that gives you the best image.

5.Look in the eyepiece and observe what hap- pens to the image when you move the slide from side to side and up and down.

6.If you wish to increase magnification, rotate the objective turret to a higher power and refocus. Also, observe with the 25X eyepiece. Practice rotating the objective turret to change magnification.

Locate the color filter (J, Fig. 1) and press it onto the bottom of the stage (S, Fig. 1). Below the stage, a fitting will line up with the opening in the center of the filter. Rotate the filter to change fil- ter colors. Remove the filter, turn it around 180°, and reinstall it onto the stage. Two more filter col-
