Question 1

how to advance on slide or go up or down?

Accepted Answer

The slide can only be moved around manually - i.e. there are no knobs controlling the x- and y- axes motion, only the focus knob controlling the z-axis motion

Question 2

How to replace batteries in my microscope how to open battery compartment

Accepted Answer

Dear Lisa,

Thank you for your question.
First, you need to unscrew the battery case lid from the bottom of the unit with the allen wrench comes with the package. Then you will see a “Right Arrow” mark on the cover of the battery case, push the cover to the right and the case can be opened. Please kindly let us know if any questions.

All the best
Annie

Question 3

Is there anything to prevent a glass slide from being damaged by someone moving the eyepiece too far towards the stage?

Accepted Answer

The stage cannot move up beyond a fixed point.  The longest objective lens is the 40X lens; it is the only objective lens that can touch a glass slide when the stage is moved up.   Moving the stage up too far, the user will find that the glass slide will touch the 40X lens.  However the tip of the 40X lens does retract 3 mm, minimizing the possibility of damage to the glass slide.   I have not broken a glass slide yet with the SW200DL.

Question 4

Can a dslr camera be fitted to the head to take photos? thanks

Accepted Answer

You’d need to buy or build an adapter. There are components that you can buy which will replace your dslr’s lens with a spacer, and then you can add an attachment to that, if building your own. It’s also possible to remove one of the microscope objectives and attach it to the front of your dslr to replace the lens, which gives you something like a super macro lens.
