ATTACHING YOUR DIGITAL IMAGER TO YOUR MICROSCOPE
After installing the software and confirming the microscope
imager is working with your software, you are ready to attach
the imager to the microscope. This step can be done before
the software install, if you prefer. Just make sure to follow the
installation steps with the imager disconnected.
First, you need to remove the zoom eyepiece Fig. 1 (1)
from the eyepiece tube Fig. 1 (2) by turning it past the stop at
the 10x position. Put a little pressure on the eyepiece (and
one hand on the base for support) and continue turning
it counterclockwise to unthread it from the eyepiece
tube. Take the protective cap off of the imager. Next, thread
the imager into the eyepiece tube (clockwise) without
overtightening. Lastly, plug the USB cable into an open
USB port on your computer.

VP-EYE SOFTWARE
The software is called VP-EYE. The software allows you to
observe specimen slides or objects on your computer. When
you view with the imager installed, the magnification depends
on the objective lens you are using and also the size of your
PC monitor.
Plug in the USB cable of the microscope imager to your
computer.

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.
When viewing or imaging a specimen slide or object, you can
change the orientation of the image on the computer screen
by rotating the imager to the position you desire – generally
do this counterclockwise so you don't tighten the imager in the
eyepiece tube.
