INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your Celestron microscope
purchase. Your new Amoeba Dual Purpose
Microscope is a precision optical instrument made
of high quality materials to ensure durability and
long life and is designed to give you a lifetime of
enjoyment with minimal maintenance.
Amoeba can be used for virtually anything that
traditional microscopes are used for: Hobbyists,
Educators, Industrial Inspection, Teachers,
Students, Science Applications, Law Enforcement
Investigation and general use by consumers.
Amoeba is a dual purpose microscope – it works
well as a stereoscopic (low power) microscope
for solid objects and as a biological (high power)
microscope for specimen slides.
Before attempting to use your Amoeba, please
read through these instructions thoroughly
to familiarize yourself with its functions and
operations. Refer to the microscope diagram
to locate parts discussed in this manual.
Amoeba provides powers of 10x, 60x and 200x
(powers with a 14" monitor). It is well suited for
examining solid objects such as coins, stamps,
rocks, relics, insects, plants, skin, gems, circuit
boards, various materials and many other
objects. Amoeba is equally well suited to examine

specimen slides of yeasts and molds, cultures,
plant and animal parts, fibers, bacteria and more
at low, medium and high powers.
You can also explore the exciting microscopic
world by creating your own specimen slides.
An excellent book to read that describes various
activities, projects and techniques is "The World of
the Microscope" by Usborne publishing.
With the software included, you can observe
magnified images, capture video or take snapshots
with Microsoft Windows 7, XP, Vista and some 2000
operating systems. You can also use Amoeba with
some other image capture software (Amcap, etc.)
that you may have on your Windows operating
system. With most Apple MAC Operating Systems,
you can take videos and snapshots but will require
image/photo capture software for MAC (e.g.,
combination of iChat with Photobooth, etc.).
Note:
A CD/DVD drive is required and an open USB port
(Version 2.0 interface works best although version 1.1 will
work at a lower resolution).
