II. Parts of the microscope
III. Assembly and set up
Carefully remove the microscope from the box and set it on a sturdy, flat surface.
Remove the plastic cover from the eyepiece holder on the microscope's head, then
place an eyepiece into the holder. Locate the power adapter and attach it to the
microscope, then plug it in. Turn the microscope on by pressing the power button.
IV. Using the microscope
Turn the microscope on and use the illumination intensity control dimming handwheel to
set the lamp on the lowest brightness setting.
Secure a slide via the slide clips on the stage.

Rotate the monocular head to either the forward- or backward-facing position,
depending on what is most comfortable for viewing. Look through the eyepiece and
adjust the bulb brightness to a comfortable intensity with the dimmer wheel.
Always start with the lowest magnification objective lens centered over the stage, in this
case the 4x objective. Look through the eyepiece and bring the image into focus by
slowly turning the larger coarse adjustment focus knob to bring the stage closer to the
objective.
Once an image forms, switch to the blue fine adjustment focus knob to fine-tune for
clarity or to see the various layers of the specimen you are examining. Manually move
the slide across the stage to look at different parts of the specimen slide.
Increase magnification by rotating the nosepiece clockwise to a higher magnification
objective, taking care not to strike the slide with the objective. If you cannot move the
objective into place without making contact with the slide, use the coarse focus knob to
move the stage down and away to make room before changing magnification.
V. Caring for your microscope
As with any quality instrument, your microscope should be stored in a cool, dry place.
Use the dust cover to protect the microscope when not in use. If necessary, clean the
lenses with a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust. Avoid touching the
optical surfaces directly and never disassemble the optical components of the
microscope. When not using an eyepiece, use the plastic cover to protect the eyepiece
holder and ocular lens.
VI. Troubleshooting
If you have a problem, you may be able to correct it yourself. Here are some common
issues and easy solutions you can try before calling customer support for service.
*Caution: Never disassemble the electrical, mechanical,or optical components. This
servicing should only be done by a Swift technician.
