Usage recommendations

Use on stable surfaces or with a steady hand to reduce motion blur at high magnification. Ensure the target area is clean and free of loose debris for the clearest view. When connecting to a digital viewing device, follow the host device’s instructions for granting camera or peripheral access. Avoid prolonged exposure of the lens to direct sunlight and store the microscope in a protective pouch when not in use.
