OPERATION (cont.)
SELECTING OBJECTIVE
MAGNIFICATION
1. There are two objectives. The lower
magnification objective has a greater
depth of field and view.
2. In order to observe the specimen
easily use the lower magnification
objective first. Then, by rotating the
case, the magnification can be
changed.
CHANGING THE INTERPUPILLARY
DISTANCE
1. The distance between the observer's
pupils is the interpupillary distance.
2. To adjust the interpupillary distance
rotate the prism caps until both eyes
coincide with the image in the
eyepiece.
FOCUSING
1. Remove the lens protective cover.
2. Place the specimen on the working
stage.
3. Focus the specimen with the left eye
first while turning the focus knob until
the image appears clear and sharp.
4. Rotate the right eyepiece ring until the
images in each eyepiece coincide and
are sharp and clear.
CHANGING THE BULB
1. Disconnect the power cord.
2. When the bulb is cool, remove the
oblique illuminator cap and remove
the halogen bulb with cap.
3. Replace with a new halogen bulb.
4. Open the window in the base plate and
replace the halogen lamp or
fluorescent lamp of transmitted
illuminator.
FOCUSING

you until a clear image is viewed.
2. If the image is unclear, adjust the
height of the elevator up or down,
then turn the focusing knob again.
ZOOM MAGNIFICATION
1. Turn the zoom magnification knob to
the desired magnification and field of
view.
2. In most situations, it is recommended
that you focus at the lowest
magnification, then move to a higher
magnification and re-focus as
necessary.
3. If the image is not clear to both eyes
at the same time, the diopter ring may
need adjustment.
DIOPTER RING ADJUSTMENT
1. To adjust the eyepiece for viewing with
or without eyeglasses and for
differences in acuity between the right
and left eyes, follow the following
steps:
a. Observe an image through the left
eyepiece and bring a specific point
into focus using the focus knob.
b. By turning the diopter ring
adjustment for the left eyepiece,
bring the same point into sharp
focus.
c.Then bring the same point into
focus through the right eyepiece
by turning the right diopter ring.
d.With more than one viewer, each
viewer should note their own
diopter ring position for the left
and right eyepieces, then before
viewing set the diopter ring
adjustments to that setting.
CHANGING THE BULB
1. Disconnect the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
2. When the bulb is cool, remove the
