2. The bottom illuminator Fig. 1 (6) is used for specimen
slides which shine up through the hole in the stage
through the slide. You can see a close up of the
illuminator in Figure 6a below. The illuminator is turned
on by rotating it so the light goes up through the hole.
You turn off the illuminator by rotating it down so that
the mirror is on the upper part (the mirror is not useful
with this microscope since you have the much better
electric illuminator).
3. The light from the bottom illuminator can be increased
or decreased by rotating it with very slight movements.

Before using your microscope for viewing on your
computer screen or imaging, you will have to ensure the
driver is recognized by your computer. Your microscope
is a "Plug and Play" type where the computer should
automatically recognize the driver type on Microsoft
Windows 98/98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista/Windows 7
operating systems as well as Apple MAC version 10.4.9
and later operating systems.
Plug the USB cable of the microscope into the USB port
of your computer. Each computer system will have slightly
different messages. For example, on some Vista OS
when plugged in the message may say "Installing Device
Driver Software" and shortly thereafter you may see a
message "Your Devices Are Ready to Use." Just follow any
instructions shown on the screen.
You will need to install the VP EYE software (on Windows
OS's) to actually view and/or image and prior to doing this
you will need to unplug the USB cable until the installation
is complete. You can also use other image/photo capture
software that you may have on your Windows system if you
desire. To use the microscope with MAC operating systems
you must use a MAC compatible image/photo capture
program (iChat with PhotoBooth, etc). To find Photobooth
on a Mac, go to your hard drive and click on Applications.
Choose Photobooth from the list of applications. If a
camera is already attached to computer, Photobooth will
show up as your default. You will need to change this to
"camera or other designation." You will then be able to
take photos with your microscope using the capture button.
Please note: Many keyboards on Macs have a USB port.
The microscope will not work through this USB port
because it does not have enough power. You will have
to connect the USB directly to your computer tower.

As with the top illuminator, you will have to experiment
to provide the best lighting for the best views.
4. The bottom illumination may be too bright with some
specimen slides. Included with your microscope is a
light diffuser which reduces the brightness and glare
somewhat and can make the views sharper with a higher
contrast level. In Figure 6a the diffuser is the small black
piece. The diffuser fits over the bulb area by press fitting
it on. Figure 6b shows what the illuminator looks like
with the light diffuser in place. It will take experimenting
to get this right.

of the image on the computer screen by rotating the
microscope to the position you desire.

Your microscope comes with VP EYE imaging software on
the CD-ROM which allows you to use your microscope for
visual purposes and for imaging with your computer when
using Microsoft Windows OS.
Before installing the software, remove the USB cable of the
Digital Camera from your computer and do not connect it
until the software installation is complete. Insert the CD-
ROM into your CD-ROM drive and it should automatically
begin. Messages will appear (each operating system may
show something somewhat different) to guide you through
the installation process.
If the software did not begin automatically, double click on
"My Computer" and right click the CD-ROM icon and it
should start.
• You will see "Files Currently on the CD" and notice
"VP EYE" as a folder. Double click on it and then among
the choices double click on "Setup" (InstallShield
Setup Launcher).
• InstallShield Wizard will appear. Next, select the default
choices, "Next," etc. until "Finish" is seen and click on it.
Your software was properly installed. You will have a
desktop icon called "VP EYE," if not that will be the
program you select from your installed programs when you
want to use the digital microscope.
