Introduction

This tutorial is set to introduce students to the common characteristics of the Plants Specimen. The learners will observe the specimen structures from the microscope of the 12 different slides which includes Potato starch, Pumpkin Ovary, Onion epidermis and many more.

Setting up the Microscope and slides

1. Carefully unpack the microscope from the box. Then place it on a table with an even base.
2. Connect the USB cable of the microscope to your laptop.
3. Open camera in the laptop and select the camera option on the top left (In my laptop there is a camera rotation option after I have connected the microscope successfully.)
4. Now, place a white sheet of paper under the microscope and adjust the focus of microscope till you get a clear image of the white sheet of paper. (Sometime there will be the problem with setting up of the camera try replugging the microscope USB.)
5. Carefully place the slide under the microscope and change the focus of the microscope till you get the clear zoomed image of the slide.
