When focusing, be careful not to crash the objective with the specimen.

Adjusting the brightness 

Rotate the brightness adjustment knob [a] to 
adjust the brightness. 

Rotating the brightness adjustment knob in the 
front  direction  (arrow  direction)  makes  the 
brightness  brighter  and  rotating  it  in  the 
opposite direction makes it darker. 

The indicator [a] shown around the brightness 
adjustment knob indicates that the larger the 

width is, the brighter the brightness becomes.

8.1.1

 

Adjusting the interpupillary distance 

While looking through the eyepieces, move 
the binocular portion [a] until the left and 
right fields of view coincide completely. 

The number shown by the indicator (protrusion 
[b])  of  the  left  side  (or  right  side)  eyepiece 
sleeve is the interpupillary distance. 

 

 

 

Note your interpupillary distance so that it can be easily adjusted next time. 

 

You can adjust your interpupillary distance by moving the binocular portion 
either to upper or lower side. Select the upper side or the lower side according 
to your observation posture.
