Note: When using your microscope on a Mac with a native imaging program like Photo Booth, the shutter button on the top of the microscope (if it has one) is disabled. The microscope should now be transmitting an image to the Photo Booth screen. Select “Celestron Microscope” as your camera. Select the “Camera” tab in the program’s window. Turn on your Mac, locate the imaging software (we recommend Photo Booth), and open the program.
Make sure your Mac is powered off, and plug the microscope into a port on the computer-not the keyboard port because a keyboard does not deliver enough power to run the camera.ģ. Instead, you will use your microscope through Apple's preinstalled imaging programs, either Photo Booth or iChat.Ģ.
Your Mac will automatically recognize the microscope, so you won't need to use the included CD (which only has Windows software). You will need a Mac running OS 10.4.9 (Tiger) or higher.
