3.1.4 Inserting eyepieces or an auxiliary
microscope
•
Remove both dust caps (Figure 3-4/ 1 and 4 )
from the binocular tube.
•
Take both eyepieces (Figure 3-4/ 2 ) out of their
containers, and insert them into the binocular
tube until they reach the stop.
•
The auxiliary microscope (Figure 3-4/ 3 ) may be
inserted into one of the binocular sockets
instead of an eyepiece, and it is used for
observing aperture stops, phase stops and dark-
field stops, or for centering phase stops and
dark-field stops. The adjustable eyepiece lens
may be used for focusing these stops, and the
setting may be defined by tightening a
clamping screw.
(1) Inserting an eyepiece reticule
Eyepieces PL 10x/23 Br. foc. are intended for use
together with eyepiece reticules.
The slight image displacement caused by the
additional length of the glass path is taken into
account on the diopter scale by the fact that the
zero position is not indicated by the white dot
(Figure 3-5/
W ) but rather by the red dot
(Figure 3-5/
R
).
To allow easy replacement, the manufacturer has
bonded the eyepiece reticules (Figure 3-5/
3 ) into
screw-in stop parts (Figure 3-5/
4
). Complete stop
parts with glued reticules are available directly
from Zeiss.
To exchange a stop part, proceed as follows:
•
Unscrew the existing stop part (Figure 3-5/ 4 )
with the eyepiece reticule (Figure 3-5/
3
) from
the eyepiece. Screw in the stop part with the
eyepiece reticule.
Whenever you insert an eyepiece reticule
into an unscrewed stop part, make certain
that the lettering inside the eyepiece may be
read true to side when it is screwed in again.
