NOTES ON HANDLING AND SAFETY

Handle with care

• This product is a high quality optical instrument. Delicate handling is required.

• Avoid subjecting it to sudden shocks and impacts.

• Impacts, even small ones, can affect the precision of the objective.

Handling the LED

Note: The LED illumination system is not designed to be user-serviced. Contact AmScope for any concerns or

service requirements.

• Despite being energy-efcient, the LED illumination system emits heat. Avoid touching the eld lens or lamp-

housing.

Dirt on the lenses

• Dirt on or inside the optical components such as the digital display or objective lenses will negatively affect

the image quality of your instrument.

• Always try to prevent your microscope from getting dirty by using the dust cover, avoid leaving ngerprints

on the lenses and clean the outer surface of the lens regularly.

• Cleaning optical components is a delicate matter. Please read the cleaning instructions in this manual

carefully.

Environment, storage and use

• This product is a precision instrument and it should be used in a proper environment for optimal use.

• Install your product indoors on a stable, vibration free and level surface.

• Do not place the product in direct sunlight.

• The ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 40°C (41°F and 104°F), and maximum humidity is 80%

at 31°C, decreasing linearly to 50% at 40°C. This product in a hot, humid location may result in the formation

of mold or condensation on lenses, impairing performance or causing malfunctions.

• Never use undue force when turning the knobs.

• Make sure that the microscope system can dissipate its heat.

• Keep the microscope approximately 15cm away from walls and obstructions.

• Never turn the microscope on when the dust cover is in place or when items are placed on the microscope.

• Keep away from ammable uids, fabric etc.

Disconnect power

• Always disconnect your microscope from power before doing any maintenance, cleaning, assembling or

replacing LEDs to prevent electric shocks.

NOTES ON HANDLING AND SAFETY

Avoid wet conditions

• Do not use in wet conditions. Exposing the electrical system to water or other uids may result in damage to

the instrument and personal injury.

Moving and assembling

• The AmScope microscope is a relatively heavy system. Consider this when moving and installing the system.

• Always lift the digital microscope by holding the handle/arm in combination with the base of the microscope.

• Never lift or move the microscope by its focusing knobs, stage, or head.

The DM150 Series microscope is designed to function with minimal maintenance, but certain components should

be cleaned frequently to ensure ease of viewing. The microscope’s illumination should be turned off when the

microscope is not in use to prolong electrical component life.

1.1 Out of the Box

The DM150-W Microscope comes completely assembled and almost ready to use right out of the box. Remove

the inner packaging from within the box and position so that the packaging prevents the accessories from

falling out when opened. Additional components in the packaging include a main power cable to power the

digital microscope and a WiFi module power cable that will allow you to power the digital camera connect the

microscope to the app on your mobile phone (see section 2.1).

CAUTION: Never lift the microscope by the head. If the head is not properly seated, it can become separated,

causing the body to fall, or otherwise damage the coupling mechanism. During transport, hold the microscope

by the body in an upright position to prevent the head, eyepieces, or other parts from falling.

Packing List:

• 1x DM150-W Microscope

• 1x Main Power Adapter

• 1x USB-C Power Cable

• 1x USB Power Adapter

• 1x Microscope Dust Cover

SECTION 1: UNPACKING THE MICROSCOPE

1.2 The Objective Lenses

The microscope is equipped with three objective lenses which are mounted to a

rotating turret between the head and the specimen stage. Should the lenses be

removed for transport, they are mounted and unmounted by rotating each lens

clockwise or counter-clockwise respectively. The lenses are typically mounted

in order from 4X to 40X, but can be interchanged as desired. This microscope

is compatible with DIN-standard objective lenses, which allows aftermarket

lenses to be used as needed. These lenses must comply with the following

DIN* specications:

• 20.32mm RMS mounting thread

• 160mm mechanical tube-length

• 45mm parfocal distance

*DIN stands for Deutsches Institut für Normung which is a German standards organization. Microscopes

and objective lenses which are DIN compliant will use the aforementioned specications

2.1 DM WiFi Software

2.2 Connecting to the WiFi

To access the software used to operate the DM150-W microscope, scan the QR code above using your smart

device’s camera and click on the link with your appropriate operating system to be redirected to the correct

download location OR search “DM WiFi” in the App Store or Google Play Store. Both options will lead the the same

download page.

Once the DM WiFi App is installed and opened, you will be brought to the home screen. Tap on Start. This will take

you to the Connect Page. Tap on OK to be taken to your WiFi settings and look for the connection that begins with

DM-WIFI- and is followed by four numbers. Connect and allow a moment for any prompts to pop up and allow them.

Navigate back to the DM WiFi app as you will not be taken back automatically after you have connected. You can

now begin viewing subjects from the microscope onto your smart device screen.

3.1: The Specimen Stage

The stage has an adjustable height limit. This is used to prevent the stage from

being raised too high which could result in damaging the specimen or even the

objective lenses. The adjustment screw is located on the body just behind the

stage.

Rotate the objective turret until the 40X objective lens is in place. With a

specimen mounted on the stage, slowly raise the stage using the coarse-focus

knob until the specimen is a few millimeters from the lens. Use the ne focus

knob to continue raising the stage until the specimen barely comes in contact

with the lens. The 40X lens has a spring-loaded nose. If the nose begins to

compress, the stage is too high. When the specimen is able to make contact

with the lens without compressing the nose, this is the appropriate maximum

height.

The height-adjustment screw should be tightened to set the stopping position.

If the specimen was too far from the lens, and could not make contact, loosen

the adjustment screw slightly, then continue to make ne focus adjustments

until the specimen is high enough. Once the height is properly set, tighten the

adjustment screw.

3.2: Power

The power switch should be set to the “off” (0) position. Attach the provided

power cable, ensuring that the instrument is not exposed to any environmental

dangers such as moisture or sources of excessive heat such as open ames.

Set the power switch to the “on” (I) position to activate the built-in illumination.

The microscope can also be powered by three AAA batteries. Remove the

bottom cover with a small philips head screwdriver and insert batteries in the

correct orientation. Batteries are not included.

If using rechargeable AAA batteries, the microscope will recharge the batteries

when plugged into an AC outlet using the included power adapter.
