(9) Insert each of the two centering tools into the

screw holes for field diaphragm centering.

(10) Stop down the field diaphragm to make the field

diaphragm image smaller than the eyepiece

viewfield. Rotate the centering tools to center the

field diaphragm until the the field diaphragm

image and the eyepiece viewfield are concentric.
