ENGLISH

IntroductIon

Congratulations on your Celestron microscope purchase. Your new

microscope is a precision optical instrument made of high quality materials

to ensure durability and long life, and is designed to give you a lifetime of

pleasure with minimal maintenance.

This microscope 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.

Before attempting to use your microscope, please read through the

instructions to familiarize yourself with the functions and operations to

make usage easier for you. See the microscope diagram to locate the parts

discussed in this manual.

The microscope provides powers from 10x to 40x and 150x (powers with a

19” monitor). It is ideally suited for examining solid objects such as coins,

stamps, rocks, relics, insects, plants, skin, gems, circuit boards, various

materials, and many other objects. You can also examine specimen slides at

low and high powers.

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

video or take snapshots with Microsoft Windows 7, XP and Vista operating

systems. You can also use the microscope with other image capture software

that you may have on Windows 7, XP & Vista Os’s. If you are using a MAC,

you can take videos and snapshots but you need image/photo capture

software for MAC (like a combination of iChat with Photobooth, etc.). You will

also need a CD/DVD drive as well as an open USB port.

Note: This product was designed and intended for ages 13 and older!

MIcroScope operatIon

Viewing Objects and Slides — You can view coins,

stamps, currency, gems, plants, foods, circuit boards,

specimen slides, and many other things. You need

to read the information about focusing, power, and

illumination below before proceeding.

Focusing & Changing Power (Magniﬁcation) —

When the microscope is placed directly over the

object or slide; use the focus knob to obtain a sharp

focus. The focus knob takes some getting used to –

rotate past the focus and then back as you will see

how to obtain the best focus position. After some

usage the sharp focus position will be easy to ﬁnd.

1. Always start with the lowest power (10 to 40x)

which is obtained when the focus knob is turned

to the left as shown above.

2. When the microscope is positioned directly on or over an object, then this

will be 40x. If you hold the microscope slightly above the object the power

will decrease gradually to 10x as you move further away (up to about 1” or

25 mm). You will have to refocus at each position.

3. For high power, you will move the focus knob almost all the way to the

right which will give you 150x. At the high power, your views will be greatly

magniﬁed but somewhat darker and sometimes hard to ﬁnd the object.

The most enjoyable views can be at the lower powers which have a wider

ﬁeld of view and brighter image. Also, the microscope must be directly on

the object.

Illumination —The LEDs of the microscope are automatically turned on

when the USB cable is inserted into the USB port on your computer. There

is no illumination adjustment on this microscope but you may be able to

position the microscope over the object you are viewing at different angles (or

positions) to give the optimum illumination.

Stand — You can use the microscope by

holding it with your hand. However, if you

want a steadier view for looking or imaging

you may prefer to mount the microscope in

the stand provided.

Hold the microscope as shown on page 4 and

then push it into the holding bracket on the

stand. The correct positioning of the stand

bracket is shown to the left.

You can then position the stand at various angles by loosening the locking

knob and then retightening it.

uSIng the MIcroScope for VIewIng and/or IMagIng

Before using your microscope for viewing or imaging on your computer

screen, you will have to ensure the driver is recognized by your computer. Your

microscope is a “Plug and Play” type where the computer should automatically

recognize the driver type on Microsoft Windows 7, XP & Vista operating

systems as well as Apple MAC version 10.4.9 and later operating systems.

Plug the USB cable of the microscope 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’s)

to actually view and/or image. 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 microscope with MAC operating systems you will need to

have MAC Version 10.4.9 and higher – must use a MAC compatible

image/photo capture program (iChat with PhotoBooth, etc). To ﬁnd

Photobooth on a Mac, go to your hard drive and click on Applications.

Choose Photobooth from the list of applications. If a camera is already

attached to computer, Photobooth will show up as your default. You will

need to change this to “Celestron Microscope.” You will then be able

to take photos with your microscope using the capture button. Please

note: Many keyboards on Macs have a USB port. The microscope will

not work through this USB port because it does not have enough power.

You will have to connect the USB directly to your computer tower.

When viewing or imaging, you can change the orientation of the image on the

computer screen by rotating the microscope to the position you desire.

InStallIng the dIgItal MIcroScope SuIte (dMS)

Software

Your microscope comes with the Digital Microscope Suite CD-ROM which

allows you to use your microscope for visual purposes and for imaging with

your computer when using Microsoft Windows OS’s.

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).

• InstallShield Wizard will appear. Next, 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,” if not that will be the program you select from

your installed programs when you want to use the digital microscope.

uSIng the dIgItal MIcroScope SuIte (dMS)

Software

Plug in the USB cable of the Microscope 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 Digital Microscope,” 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’s) 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. If the image delays or starts/stops, you should

lower the video resolution in the “Settings.”

Measuring Function — DMS has a simple measuring function which measures

the distance between two points in millimeters. Click the “Measure” button

on the bottom right of the screen. Start by selecting “Low Power” or “High

Power.” Click where you want your starting point and then click again to set

the ending point and it will display the distance between the two points. You

can adjust either point by dragging the pin. You can click “Clear” to start over.

The accuracy is 1/100th of a millimeter.

You are now ready to begin your digital adventure!

care, MaIntenance, and warrantY

Your microscope with digital camera is a precision optical instrument and

should be treated with care at all times. Follow these care and maintenance

suggestions and your microscope will need very little maintenance throughout

its lifetime.

• Store the microscope in a dry and clean place.

• Be very careful if using your microscope in direct sun light to prevent

damage to the microscope or your eyes.

• Never point the microscope towards the sun or the camera can be

damaged and cease working.

• Clean the outside surfaces with a moist cloth.

• Never clean optical surfaces with cloth or paper towels as they can scratch

optical surfaces easily.

• Blow dust off the optical surfaces with a camel’s hair brush or an air blower.

• To clean ngerprints off of optical surfaces, use a lens cleaning agent and

lens tissue available at most photo outlets and when cleaning do not rub in

circles as this may cause scratches to occur.

• Never disassemble or clean internal optical surfaces. This should be done

by qualiﬁed technicians at the factory or other authorized repair facilities.

• Do not disassemble or take apart the microscope or damage can occur.

• When handling glass specimen slides, use care as the edges can be sharp.
