Interpupillary distance and viewing height
In all tubes:
The interpupillary distance can be varied by
adjusting the eyepiece sockets relative to one
another.
The viewing height can be varied by
swiveling the eyepiece sockets up
(Fig. 2-9/
A
) or down (Fig. 2-9/
B
).
For polarization microscopy we
recommend the photo tube Pol with
upright crosshairs.
Binocular ergo tube/ergo photo tube 8-38°/20
These tubes are designed for a field of view of 20.
The viewing angle can be continuously adjusted
between 8° and 38° by swiveling the binocular
section (Fig. 2-10/
1
).
The splitting ratio of the ergo photo tube is 50:50,
i.e.: 50 % of the light is directed to the eyepieces
and 50 % to the camera port.
CAUTION
The binocular ergo tube/ergo photo tube 8-38°/20 may only be used on the Axio Lab.A1 with
the base plate (430037-9100-000) installed, as the microscope is otherwise liable to tip over,
resulting in damage to the instrument or injury to the user.
