For best image clarity, use fresh batteries and ensure the LED lens area and smartphone camera lens are clean. Place flat specimens on the flip-down slide base and secure with the cover slip provided when using higher magnifications. When using the UV flashlight, avoid direct eye exposure and follow general safety precautions for UV light. Store the device in a dry place and carry it using the wrist strap for convenient portability.
