User's Manual: A helpful 31 page User's Manual is included on the CD.  The User's Manual is an Adobe Reader PDF file.  The User's Manual is not in a "Hard Copy" printed book version, but located on the CD.  When the disk is inserted, a menu is displayed.  The User's Manual is available in English, Traditional Chinese, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese and Russian.  But the best way to learn the software is just to install the program and try taking some photos and videos and using the buttons and menu options in the software.  Some of our customers take one or two hours while some take a few.  It depends on your technical skill and desire.  You can always contact us if you need any further assistance or if you have any questions along the way.Click HERE to compare our different microscope models side-by-side Optical Field of View (the visible area that is viewed with the microscope): The field of view changes when you change the distance between the nozzle and an object.  Notice that when the nozzle is touching the object, you can focus two different ranges.

Don't let not having a stand stop you from buying just the microscope, because if you buy just the scope and experiment and learn how to use the scope, you can always buy a stand later on, hopefully in our eBay Store.  ALSO: LIGHTING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY WITH HIGHLY-REFLECTIVE TARGETS LIKE JEWELRY AND COINS.  PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR NOTES ON LIGHTING: click HERE to look at our notes on LIGHTING YOUR TARGET.
