ENGLISH

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Celestron microscope. Your microscope 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.

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. Also, you can 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 XP and Vista operating systems. You can

also use the microscope with other image capture software that you may have on

Windows XP & Vista. 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.

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

Setting Up Your Microscope

1. Carefully remove the microscope and stand from the box and set them on a

table, desk, or other flat surface.

2. Remove the plastic bags covering the microscope and stand.

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

25mm). 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.

Hold the microscope as shown on page 5 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 on your computer screen or imaging, 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 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) 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

microscope 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.).

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 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.

yYou 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).

yThen, 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.

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” 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.

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.

yStore the microscope in a dry and clean place.

yBe very careful if using your microscope in direct sun light to prevent damage

to the microscope or your eyes.

yNever point the microscope towards the sun or the camera can be damaged

and cease working.

yClean the outside surfaces with a moist cloth.

yNever clean optical surfaces with cloth or paper towels as they can scratch

optical surfaces easily.

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

yTo clean fingerprints 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 sleeks or scratches to occur.

yNever disassemble or clean internal optical surfaces. This should be done by

qualified technicians at the factory or other authorized repair facilities.

yDo not disassemble or take apart the microscope or damage can occur.

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