5.5 Adjusting the stand
Torque of the focus wheels
You adjust the torque of the focus wheels by holding one of the two wheels in place
and using the other hand to turn the other wheel.
Depending on the direction of the turn, the torque will be increased or decreased.
On one hand, this function can help to make it easier to adjust the focus and on the
other hand it can prevent the microscope head from slipping down unintentionally. In
this way you can avoid possible damage which could occur if the objective lens and
the object being observed should collide.
Height adjustment
Fixing the microscope holder
With a stereo microscope on a pillar stand, the microscope head can be height
adjusted using the focus wheels and in addition, the microscope holder can be fixed
at any point on the pillar, depending on the application requirements.
To primary way to fix the position is to use an adjusting screw (1) on the holder.
There is a metal ring which also ensures sufficient grip and which is fixed with a
second screw (2) under the holder on the pillar. This metal ring proves to be
particularly useful when the screw (1) on the holder is loosened, to swing the
microscope head to the side.
