Align the diopter ring with the standard position.
Turn the diopter ring on the eyepieces to align its
bottom edge with the engraved base line.
Perform this procedure to the right and left
eyepieces.
Set the diopter ring to the standard position.

Focus on the specimen with the 10x objective.
Rotate the coarse and then fine focus knobs to focus
on the specimen.
Do not turn the right and left focus knobs
simultaneously in opposite directions.
Additionally, do not turn the coarse focus knob
further after the stage has reached its upper or
lower limit. This operation will damage the
focusing mechanism.

movement stopper counterclockwise to unlock the
limit.
