Hold the on button down for 8 seconds. It is below the screen. Ensure you have power by turning the dials for the two stage lights. Dials are on the base.

Press and Hold the power button~ The screen will be the first to come on. Then let go of the power button. It's good before you start to have a Micro Memory card to keep all your data on such as videos and pictures. Get a card with an adapter so you can use this Micro card in you home computer to view instead of always using your microscope! To turn off the Celestron 44340 just press and hold the power button again.

there is a usb cable in the bottom of the unit. there is no switch so the way to turn it on is plug the cable into your computer.

If you mean can you buy an eyepiece camera and hook that up to the microscope, then yes. Just buy a high quality camera. I bought a $50 camera and used my computer monitor to see the images, but they weren't of good resolution.

The purple light is to light up whatever it is that you are trying to see with the microscope.You open the scope to form a "v" shape,then you turn the light on,and look through the eye hole,which is the end with the black ring.Move the whole scope up or down slowly until you get a clear view of what you are trying to see. I hope this helps you. I love mine. If you have anymore questions,please feel free to let us know.I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.{Try looking at a bug with it. It is really cool.} Have a great day, and let us know if this helped you to better understand your new mini-scope.

I wasn't able to find any button so I think you twist it to turn it on. But mine didn't work so I don't know for sure.

I had the same problem. Finally contacted Amscope. Turns out my microscope will not support the magnification on the camera. I would suggest that you contact them directly. They will tell you how to use the camera or they will let you know which models of microscopes will support it.

Oh, yes! There's a tiny switch close to the base of the light (looks clear) which you can click on, then off. You need to use your fingernail.

The Scanner has an on-off button located at the bottom right side of the key pad. This key is used to turn the unit on and off. To turn it on just push the button, I usually hold it in over one second. To turn it off just hold the on/off key in 5 seconds, and the light goes off. Enjoy

Yes! But you will need to add light at the top of the specimen that you want to view. I use the AMScope LED Spotlight.

If you can't find the manual online, go to You Tube and do a search on your model microscope. Omax has some great videos on there that expain all you need to know about your scope, plus some tips on how to use it. I found them more helpful than the manual anyway. I'm sure you can also download the manual from the Omax site too, but definitly check out them videos. Hope this helps.

You just select that function from the menu button, you can also make a video, there is also a micro chip slot to which you can expand your microscope's memory capacity. I have even made excellent powerpoints and videos using the Celestron
