For verifying security features on banknotes, switch on the UV light and hold the note under the lamp in a dim environment. Adjust the distance between the lens and the specimen to obtain a sharp image; moving the device slightly closer or farther will change the focus.

Usage recommendations

Use on dry, clean specimens for best image clarity. Avoid prolonged exposure of the UV light to skin and eyes; use the UV function briefly and keep the microscope out of reach of young children. Store in a dry place to preserve the LED and housing.
