Manual I have a Tasco Microscope Model 60600-2. It looks similar to the 750 except that it has a 3-way projector hood. Problem is I don't have an operating manual and I want to give this item to my grandson - like it's brand new! Anyone know where I can download one? I suppose a 750 would be OK to start anyway.

contact tasco.
try ebay for a month (search various combinations of keywords). notify by email.

That is not a current model and Tasco don't list a manual for that specific model number, but it seems very similar to the 40-060675 and 46-060675, the manual for which is here

Amazon has used ones for about $25. New they are not worth that much more. They are designed more as a toy, then a real microscope.

You will need to focus in on the slide. There should be 2 1" diameter knobs on either side of the stand, and just to the rear. Those knobs control the height of the stage (where you slide sits). Slowly raise or lower while looking into the eyepiece. At some point something should be see, if the microscope is working properly.

Sometimes it is easiest to start with the lowest magnification. On the outside of the objective (little lenses hanging down that can be rotated) there should be some numbers written on them (usually 4, 10, 40). Those numbers reference your magnification. If you multiply that number by the eyepiece (10) magnification, you will get your total magnification, so start out with your 4x. It will give you the largest field of view, so it is great for finding whatever it is that you are looking for on your slide. It is also the easiest one to get focused. The higher you go in magnification, the smaller the field of view, thereby the more difficult it is focus in on your sample.

sometimes when a battery causes corrosion inside something, you can clean off the springs or contacts where the battery goes. if i can, when that stuff happens i use sandpaper or something like that to clean the contacts. you cant always get sandpaper where you need it though. just try to find something to like scrape stuff off if its on there

Try Ebay--may have to buy the micro aswell but it won't cost much,have you tried the Tasco website in case a free d'load is avail?-kind regards martin r
