Safety instructions
●
Caution: Never look into the sun or in laser light sources with the DiaScope.
This can lead to serious eye injury.
●
Do not leave the product in the sun for extended periods unless using a
protective cap or a case. The objective lens and eyepiece can function as a
burning glass and damage the interior components.
Attaching and removing the eyepiece
Remove the bayonet cap from the eyepiece and scope. To attach the eyepiece,
the white dot on the eyepiece (H) must line up with the black arrow in the
rubber armouring (I). Then insert the eyepiece and turn to the right (clock-
wise) until it stops.
To remove the eyepiece, press the release button (L) and at the same time
turn the eyepiece to the left (counter clockwise) until it stops. The eyepiece
can now be removed with a slight tug.
Note:
An older model of the Zeiss DiaScope eyepiece can also be attached to the
DiaScope scope. However, the locking function is not possible in this case.
Models with locking function can be recognized by the order number of the
eyepiece and a D in the product designation.

Tripod mounting
Due to the large magnification, observation without a tripod is not recom-
mended. The tripod foot of the Zeiss DiaScope (F) has
3
/
8
˝ and
1
/
4
˝ threads
(via installed threaded insert) with which the DiaScope can be mounted on all
commercially available tripods.
The tripod ring (C) on your DiaScope facilitates the turning of the scope
around the longitudinal axis, so that you can change the sight direction (with
inclined view) if necessary. To do this loosen the clamping screw (K) on the
tripod holder (turn counter clockwise) and then turn the scope in the desired
direction. An optimal clamping is achieved in the locking positions, which are
located every 45°.
