Rotating the Base (Fig. 4)  

Rotate the Microscope to a suitable position for 

viewing comfort by gently pushing the base 

 

 

 

 

Adjusting the Tilt of the Stand (Fig. 4)  

The tilt of the stand is adjustable by holding down the 

front of the base 

 with one hand, and taking hold of 

the bracket with the other hand and then pushing or 

pulling the bracket to obtain the most comfortable 

viewing position.  The stand can be adjusted from 0-

38

º

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adjusting the Rotation Tension 

Of the Focus Adjustment Knob (Fig. 5)  

To adjust tension, hold

 

both left and right focus 

adjustment knobs

 

 

with both hands, hold the left 

knob (to prevent it from turning), and rotate the right 

knob clockwise to increase (tighten) or 

counterclockwise to decrease (loosen) the focus knob 

tension.  
After tension adjustment has been completed, always 

rotate both adjustment knobs in the same direction. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Adjusting Interpupillary Distance (Fig. 6) 

 

Different users have different interpupillary distances 

(this distance is between the centers of the pupils of 

each eye). When the operator changes, it will be 

necessary to adjust the interpupillary distance. 

While looking through the eyepieces, hold the left 

 

and right 

 eyetubes of the viewing head

 

and adjust 

the eyetubes by opening or closing them until the left 

and right fields of view coincide completely and you 

are able to see a complete circle.
