2. Ixgħel id-Dawl LED: Activate the LED light located beneath the stage to illuminate your specimen.
3. Adjust Magnification (Easy-Zoom Lens): Use the easy-zoom lens knob to adjust the magnification from 100x to 1200x. Start with the lowest magnification to locate your specimen, then gradually increase it for a closer view.
4. Fokus: Slowly turn the focus knob until the image of your specimen appears clear and sharp.
5. Osserva: Look through the eyepiece to observe the magnified details of your specimen.

Science Beyond Slides:

The microscope is not limited to prepared slides. You can examine a wide variety of everyday objects. Use the petri dishes to hold small items like buttons, fabric, or even bubbles for observation.

Using Kid Biologist Tools:

• Pinzetta: Use the tweezers to carefully pick up and place small specimens onto slides or into petri dishes without touching them directly.
• Qtar: The dropper is ideal for adding a drop of water to a dry specimen on a slide, or for transferring small liquid samples for observation.
• Petri Dishes: These clear dishes are perfect for holding larger or irregular specimens that cannot be mounted on traditional slides. They also allow for observation of living organisms in a contained environment.
