Introduction small objects such as coins, stamps, PC boards, insects, and other objects especially at the lower powers, but remember the lowest power is 40x. Thank you for purchasing the Celestron PentaView LCD Digital Microscope with a 4.3” touch screen monitor. Your microscope is a precision optical instrument, made of the highest quality materials to ensure durability and long life.

Using an SD Card The PentaView is supplied with a 4GB SD Card and you can use it to capture images (snapshot or video). SD Cards are inserted into the SD Card Slot in the LCD Monitor (Figure 1). Microscope Operation Figure 6 Before looking at specimens you must turn the LCD on, turn on the proper illumination, and understand how to use the mechanical stage and then you are ready to begin viewing. Remove the protective film from the LCD screen.
Using Filters & the Diaphragm — Normally most viewing or imaging will be done without colored filters and before using the microscope check to make sure no filters are in the optical path. However, to bring out different levels of detail, experiment with changing the color of the back lighting of the specimen especially for very bright transparent specimens. To change the lighting color, rotate the wheel (Figure 8) to the desired color – Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B).
Digital Imaging Snapshot selection (5) Normal is single shot but you can set for timed shots. You can take snapshots or a short video with your microscope with the built-in digital camera. With the SD Card memory, you do not need to use a PC or any other devices to do imaging. Transferring of images to your PC for saving and or printing them is easy and will be discussed later in this manual. Video mode You can take videos in this mode. To take videos, you need to make the settings first.
Deleting all Snapshots/Video Images – To delete all images use the memory format function – Settings / Memory / Format and choose SD card or Flash memory. 2. You can take the SD card out and use the SD card slot on your PC (if available) to transfer the images. In either way your PC will ask you to choose which program you want to transfer the images to.
