Direction of moving the image

How to track an observation image

The up-down and left-right movements of the image
observed through eyepieces are opposite to the
movements of the specimen.

NOTE

Slide glass

It is recommended to use the following slide glasses

a .

Length: 76 mm, Width: 26 mm, Thickness: 0.9 to 1.4 mm
(Thickness: 0.9 to 1.2 mm for darkfield observation)

Use the cover glass
