The concave side will concentrate more light onto the specimen than the flat side. If it is daylight, tilt the illumination mirror (4) and reflect indirect sunlight through the bottom of specimen stage (3). WARNING: Never use the mirror to focus direct sunlight through your microscope. [. . . ] Illuminate the specimen slide by using a nearby desk or table lamp to reflect light onto a specimen. Natural light can also be used if the microscope is located near a window. When using downward lighting, the white side of the stage plate may wash out fine detail whereas the black side will increase contrast but may make the specimen less bright. Focusing: To focus on your specimen slide, turn the focus adjustment knob (5) until the specimen comes into focus. If there is not enough travel in the focuser mechanism to reach focus, it may be necessary to loosen the pillar stand locking bolt (4) and slightly raise or lower the entire binocular head assembly until the image becomes sharp. 5 Educational Microscope - Model #4030 1 2 12 3 4 11 5 10 9 8 7 6 Figure 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 Eyepiece Eyepiece Holder Objective Lens Rotator Objective Lens Specimen Stage Diaphragm Dial 7 8 9 10 11 12 Illuminator Mirror Specimen Holder Clips Focus Travel Safety Screw Stand Column Fine Focus Adjustment Knob Course Focus Adjustment Knob Standard Accessories: Your Celestron microscope (#4030) comes complete with the following standard accessories: · · · Huygens 10x eyepiece Huygens 12. 5x eyepiece Plastic Dust Cover · · · 4x Objective lens 10x Objective lens 40x Objective lens Magnification Table Use the following table to determine the magnification of the different eyepiece/objective lens combination of your microscope.

Slide the narrow end of the eyepiece barrel into the eyepiece holder at the top of the microscope. Unscrew the container lids from the threaded portion of the objective lenses. Thread the end of the 4x objective lens into one of the holes on the objective lens rotator (3). It may be necessary to lower the specimen stage (5) by turning the coarse focus knob (12). Now turn the objective rotator to the next opening and thread each of the remaining objective lenses into the remaining holes. Your microscope is now ready to view specimens. Microscope Operation Using the Illuminator Mirror: Your Celestron microscope has a built-in Plano-concave illumination mirror which allows you to illuminate the specimen from the bottom. The concave side will concentrate more light onto the specimen than the flat side. If it's daylight, tilt the illumination mirror (7) and reflect indirect sunlight through the bottom of specimen stage (5). WARNING: Never use the mirror to focus direct sunlight through your microscope. Sunlight, if viewed directly can be very harmful and may permanently damage your eyes. If viewing at night or indoors, away from sunlight, you can use a nearby desk or table lamp to reflect light onto a specimen. Use the concave side of the illuminator mirror to focus more light on your specimen. The concave side will concentrate more light onto your specimen but will focus a smaller beam of light, making it more sensitive to adjust. 7 2. The amount of light can also be controlled by rotating the five-aperture size diaphragm dial (6) underneath the specimen stage. If you are unable to adjust the mirrors enough to properly illuminate the specimen, you can also tilt the stand column (10) backwards to change the position of the mirror. Viewing a Specimen To view a specimen: 2. Press downward on the back portion of the spring-loaded specimen holder clips (8) to raise the front of the clips off of the specimen stage (5). Place a specimen slide under the specimen holder clips (8) and center the specimen directly over the hole in the center of the specimen stage (5).
