USING YOUR MOTIC MICROSCOPE
8. Set the diopter adjustment which is designed to help compensate for the difference
between the user’s eyes. To adjust, first bring the specimen into perfect focus by using the
coaxial focusing knobs while looking through the eyepiece with the right eye only (close your
left eye). Now, using your left eye only (close the right eye) turn the left eye diopter only (don’t
touch the focus controls) to obtain a crisply focused image. The diopter adjustment is now
set and no further adjustment will be needed until a new operator uses the scope.
9. Rotate the nosepiece to the next higher power objective. A slight turn of the fine focusing
knob may be required to bring the image of the specimen into sharp focus. Once the speci-
men is in focus with the highest power objective, it will be in focus with each lower power
objective.
