Diopter Adjustment
Proper correction for individual vision is
accomplished via the diopter adjustment located at the left eyepiece.
Using the 10X objective, bring an
image into focus with your right eye
only. Once the image is well focused,
observe with left eye, make fine
adjustments with the diopter
adjustment ring to correct for your
vision.
2)
Proper interpupillary distance,
or
the distance between eyepieces, is
crucial to the comfort of the user.
Adjusting the interpupillary distance
is accomplished through a “folding”
action of the optical head, at Figure 4,
allowing for quick and easy
adjustment.

Mechanical Stage Control, see figure 5.
The coaxial transverse / longitudinal
knob allow for easy adjustment.
5.
Condenser Components
– are located
below the stage as follows, see figure 5.
Abbe condenser; its mounting ring with
set screw and two large centering
screws at either side for adjusting
condenser/iris assembly in the optical
center of the light path; the substage
adjustment knob for raising and
lowering the condenser. Upon the
collector is field diaphragm to hold the
filters.
