      • The microscope package (that's right, some items were lost and the box suffered)

      • Now, let's begin the operation: we'll begin with the pedestal. No need for screwdrivers, you just have to pull it.

      • After this, there's a screw. Let's remove it.

      • Once you did it, the battery compartment can be removed.

      • Note: if you want to remove the pedestal completely, you may need to cut the both wires.

      • Note 2: from now on, the microscope will be more difficult to reassemble.

      • Then, this rotative piece is, in a side, a mirror and in the another, a lamp (hence the 1.5x2 batteries in the step 2).

      • To remove it, you need pull a side. The rest will come alone.

      • The picture is a little fuzzy but we can see:

      • The bulb.

      • The support of this rotative piece.

      • The battery.

      • The cover which prevents the bulb to fall.

      • The mirror and the bulb location

      • Now, remove the big Phillips screw here (actually, you can loosen it then remove the nut in the other side). Don't be worried if it's a little hard to pull the screw.

      • This piece allows you to change the growth. 1 screw.

      • If you turn this piece, the growth will be modified thanks to these magnifying glasses (red circles)

      • To remove them, you need to use a sharp piece (e.g a pen) and press on the 3 holes marked on blue.
