• ALWAYS carry the microscope with TWO HANDS! • ONE hand on the NECK, and ONE hand under the BASE.

• Use the SCANNING objective FIRST. • It will be easier to find the specimen at this magnification. It’s the smallest objective

• When looking using HIGH POWER magnification, DO NOT use the COARSE ADJUSTMENT! • Only use the fine adjustment knob when using high power objective.

• Only use lens paper to clean the eyepiece.
