Warning notice for a safe and correct method of use
This microscope is designed for children ages 8 and up. It contains small parts, which pose a choking hazard to young child-
ren. It is not a toy! It is pointed out to parents and teachers that the microscope is a scientific device. Cover slips, specimen
holders, and sharp instruments belong to the microscope. Children are not allowed to work with these, unless supervised by
adults, as there is a possible danger of getting hurt. Always follow the specified safety regulations!
The Betzold Microscope for Beginners allows you to watch specimen on holders, as well as objects like plants, coins or
insects directly. This is possible through the dual LED illumination, which enables you to light the object from below (trans-
mitted light) as well as from above (reflected light). Batteries make you independent from electric supply lines, and enables
you to use it outdoors. The Betzold Microscope for Beginners offers 2 different possibilities of application in one set! This
guarantees many hours of fun and learning!
Maintenance, care, and storage of the microscope
WARNING: To avoid fire or short circuit, never expose the microscope to dampness or moisture.
- Turn the light off whenever you do not need it, in order to prolong the life of the batteries. Make sure, both lights are turned
off, e.g. the switch is in the middle position.
- Clean the microscope exclusively with a soft cloth. Fingerprints and stains can be removed with a moistened cloth. When
it is necessary to clean the lenses, try to do it with a cotton-wool ball, very slightly moistened with alcohol. Dry the lenses
with a dry cotton-wool ball or with special cleaning paper.
- Store the microscope in a cool and dry place.
- Cover the microscope with the included dust cover, or put it back into its case whenever not in use.
- When you use it outside, make sure it is in an upright position, to prevent the eyepiece from falling out.
- Eyepiece and objective should be kept installed, to prevent dust getting into the tube.
- Store the unused slides in the box intended for slides. Always be careful with glass and sharp equipment, and keep it out of
reach of small children.
- When the light begins to weaken, replace the type AA (Mignon LR6) batteries. The LED lamps hold a long life and should
not have to be replaced.
- Normal batteries are not rechargeable! Replace used batteries with new ones.
- Do not mix old and new batteries.
- Do not keep used batteries in the battery holder for a longer period of time.
- Only use batteries of the same type.
- Please take care to match the right polarities.
- Do not expose batteries to fire or high temperatures!
