Operation
(continued)
Adjusting the Focusing Tension
If the feel is very heavy when focusing with the focusing
knobs
②③
, or the specimen leaves the focus plane after
focusing, or the stage lowers by itself, adjust the tension
with the tension adjustment ring
①
. The tension ring is
the inner most ring with the focus knobs.
Turn the tension adjustment ring clockwise to loosen or
counterclockwise to tighten according to user preference.
Using the Stage Plates
(Optional)
NOTE:
for optimal viewing, ensure the thickness of the
container, dish or slide matches the thickness marked on
each objective (0.17mm or 1.2mm). For modern
objectives, coverglass is optimally 0.17mm thick (No. 1½),
whereas most tissue culture vessels are 1-1.2mm thick. A
mismatch between slide/vessel thickness and that for
which the objective was designed will likely present an out-
of-focus image.
With the mechanical stage
①
, a user can use any of the
optional stage plates for flasks, well plates, culture dishes
or slides. The figure to the right illustrates the combination
60mm Petri dish/microscope slide holder

mounted in
the universal holder of the mechanical stage. The
specimen holder can then be moved by turning the X
