How to use

Hold the PocketMicro 60x close to the object and adjust the focus or magnification control until the image is sharp. Turn on the built‑in LED when additional light is needed; position the microscope at varying distances to find the optimal working range for the selected magnification. For best results with reflective surfaces, angle the light slightly or adjust the distance to reduce glare. When inspecting fine details on circuit boards or stamps, stabilize your hand or rest the device against a steady surface to minimise motion blur.

Usage recommendations

Use fresh batteries or a fully charged power source for maximum LED brightness. Store the microscope in a protective pouch to prevent scratches on the lens and keep it dry when not in use. For delicate biological samples, use appropriate sample holders or slides and follow safety and hygiene practices.
