1. Assembling the Digital Microscope
Before you can use your microscope for the
rst time, you must assemble it properly. First,
remove all parts from the packaging. Place the
microscope body (1) with the stand foot (12)
on a table. Screw the microscope camera (4)
into the camera mount (6) from above.
Important:
When inserting, be sure that the metal spring
(13) on the camera (1) leads into the guide
bar (14) on the camera mount (6).
Plug the USB connection cable (21) into the
USB port on the microscope (17) – insert the
end with the smaller connector.
2. Using the Software CD
In the packaging your new microscope came
in, you will also nd a software CD. You can
install it on your computer. If you then con-
nect your microscope to your PC with the
USB cable, you can view and save the images
on your monitor with the Photomizer SE Soft-
ware. You‘ll learn how to properly install the
software in the next sections.
In order for the software to work, your
computer must fulll the following system
requirements:
PC with Intel Pentium IV processor or higher;
Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 operating
system; at least 1024 MB RAM working mem-
ory; at least 500 MB free hard disk space;
free USB port.
2.1 Installation of the Photomizer SE Im-
age Processing Software
1. Important: Before inserting the CD, rst
plug the USB cable into the USB port on your
PC. Windows will now recognize the new
device, and will indicate this in a notication
window. Now please click on “Cancel”, since
we will have the driver for the device automati-
cally installed later.
2. Now insert the CD-ROM that came in your
package into the CD/DVD drive of your com-
puter. The installation process will now start
automatically. If this does not occur, please
go to Windows Explorer and select your CD/
DVD drive (this is usually drive “D:”; it can also
be signied by another letter, however.) From
there, start the le “setup.exe” by double-
clicking with the left mouse button.
3. The Photomizer Software requires Micro-
soft .NET Framework 3.5, which it will install
if it is not already on your system. If it is al-
