DIGITAL MICROSCOPE IMAGER

IntroductIon

Congratulations on your purchase of the Celestron Digital Microscope Imager. Your Imager

is a precision optical instrument made of high quality materials to ensure durability and

long life, and designed to give you a lifetime of pleasure with minimal maintenance. It is

miniature in size – 2.5” (64 mm) long x 0.9” (22 mm) in diameter and weighs just 1.5 oz

(42 g) but powerful in its application with a 2 MP sensor for the digital camera.

This Imager can be used for virtually anything that traditional microscopes are used for:

Hobbyists, Educators, Medical Labs, Industrial Inspection, Engineering Applications,

Teachers, Students, Science Applications, Doctor’s Ofﬁces, Police Agencies, Government

Testing, and general use by consumers – except you can view the images on a computer

screen and take snapshots or videos of the images.

The Digital Microscope Imager will work with virtually any microscope (biological and stereo)

as long as the eyepiece barrels are of the universal sizes of 23 mm and 30 mm or similar.

You replace the eyepiece in the microscope with the Imager.

Before attempting to use your Imager, please read through the instructions to familiarize

yourself with the functions and operations to make usage easier for you.

With the included software, you can observe the magniﬁed images or capture video or take

snapshots with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, and 7 operating systems. You can also use the

microscope with other image capture software that you may have on your computer. If you

are using a MAC, you can take videos and snapshots but you need image/photo capture

software for MAC. You will also need a CD/DVD drive as well as an open USB port.

Setting Up Your Digital Microscope Imager

1. Carefully remove the Imager, Adapter, and CD-ROM (Digital Microscope Suite)

from the box and set them on a table, desk, or other ﬂat surface. The USB cable

is permanently attached to the Imager.

2. Remove the plastic bag covering the Imager.

3. The Adapter (image below) will attach to the Imager with three thumbscrews.

First back up the threads from the Adapter so they do not protrude through the

barrel so there is no interference when inserting the Imager and then insert it.

A. The position of the Adapter on the Imager

is not critical but the top of the adapter

(thumbscrew end) should be about 40 mm (1.6”)

from the sensor end for optimal performance

on most microscopes. Tighten the screws.

4. Remove the eyepiece (just one eyepiece if your microscope

uses two eyepieces as with a stereo microscope or binocular

head with a biological microscope).

5. Put the Imager into the eyepiece barrel. It is held in place by

its own weight and this is ok. However, when moving your

microscope with the Imager in the eyepiece barrel, do not

turn the microscope sideways or upside down or the Imager

will fall out.

Using the Imager

Before using your Imager for viewing on your computer screen or imaging, you will have

to ensure the driver is recognized by your computer. Your Imager is a “Plug and Play”

type where the computer should automatically recognize the driver type on Microsoft

Windows XP, Vista and 7 Operating Systems as well as Apple MAC version 10.4.9 and

later Operating Systems.

Plug the USB cable of the Imager into the USB port of your computer. Each computer

system will have slightly different messages. For example, on some Vista OSs when

plugged in the message may say “Installing Device Driver Software” and shortly thereafter

you may see a message “Your Devices Are Ready to Use”. Just follow any instructions

shown on the screen.

You will need to install the Digital Microscope Suite software (on Windows OS) to actually

view and/or image and prior to doing this you will need to unplug the USB cable until the

installation is complete. You can also use other image/photo capture software that you may

have on your Windows system if you desire. To use the Imager with MAC operating systems

you will need to have image/photo capture software on your computer (like a combination of

“iChat” with “Photo Booth”, etc.).

The approximate digital power is 100x (on a monitor of 14” (35 mm) to 30” (75 mm) using

the Imager. The actual power is determined by the digital power using the imager (100x)

times the objective lens power. As an example, if the objective lens being used is 4x, then

the power you will be capturing for snapshots or video will be 400x. If using a 40x objective,

then the power will be 4000x, etc.

Adjusting Light Intensity

Whether using mirror illumination or electrical illumination, you will have to experiment

with how much light will give you the best image. You can also experiment with condensers

and diaphragms (if your microscope has these) for optimum adjustment for obtaining the

best image.

Focusing

You will focus your microscope with the Imager attached the same as you would for

observing. For the best images, make sure the specimen or object is sharply focused.

When changing powers, you will have to refocus.

Rotating the Imager

When you are looking at the image on your computer screen, you can rotate the position

360˚by rotating the Imager to the position you prefer.

Installing the Digital Microscope Suite (DMS) Software

Your Imager comes with the Digital Microscope Suite CD-ROM which allows you to use it for

visual purposes and for imaging with your computer when using Microsoft Windows OSs.

Before installing the software, remove the USB cable of the Digital Camera from your

computer and do not connect it until the software installation is complete. Insert the CD-

ROM into your CD-ROM drive and it should automatically begin. Messages will appear

(each operating system may show something somewhat different) to guide you through the

installation process.

If the software did not begin automatically, double click on “(My) Computer” and right click

the CD-ROM icon and it should start.

 • Youwillsee“FilesCurrentlyontheCD”andnotice“DigitalMicroscopeSuite”as

a folder. Double click on it and then among the choices double click on “Setup”

(InstallShield Setup Launcher).

 • Then,theInstallShieldWizardwillappear.Thenselectthedefaultchoices,“Next”,

etc. until “Finish” is seen and click on it.

Your software was properly installed. You will have a desktop icon called “Digital Microscope

Suite” but if not that will be the program you select from your installed programs when you

want to use the digital microscope Imager.

Using the Digital Microscope Suite (DMS) Software

Plug in the USB cable of the Imager to your computer and then start DMS.

The DMS contains basic image capture and organization for your photos (snapshots)

and videos. Click on the DMS icon to begin.

The software is very intuitive and easy to use.

You can change settings by using File and

Settings – the Video Device should have as

a default “Celestron Microscope Imager”

but if not please change it so the DMS will

function properly.

You can take snapshot images by using the

snapshot button on the microscope (only with

Windows OS) or you can also use the keyboard

by clicking enter on “Capture an Image”.

For videos you need to start/stop on the icon

shown on the screen.

You are now ready to begin your digital adventure!
