Summary operating instructions
1. Move the chin rest (6) up or down with the adjustment screw
(7) until the eyes of the patient are level with the black mark on
the headrest column (4).
2. Focus the eyepieces to suit your refraction by turning the
knurled rings and then set to your interpupillary distance.
3. Switch on the illumination unit by turning the power supply
switch.
4. Rotate the control lever (34) until the light beam is at eye
level.
5. Holding the control lever (34), inclined towards yourself,
move the instrument base until the slit appears to be approxi-
mately in focus on the cornea. This coarse setting is achieved
with the naked eye. Fine adjustments are obtained by rotating
and tilting the lever while observing the image through the
microscope (25).
6. The slit width is adjusted to the left or right by means of the
knob (18), which also adjusts the angle between the micros-
cope and the illumination unit.
7. The slit image is made vertical, horizontal, or given any
desired angle by means of control knob (22) (notches at 45
°
,
90
°
and 135
°
; stops at 0
°
and 180
°
).
8. The slit image can also be inclined to 20
°
by releasing the
latch (30).
9. Microscope magnification is changed by rotating the mag-
nification changer (12).
10. Loosening the centering screw (29) will allow the slit image
to be moved off center for scleral illumination. Tightening the
screw will recenter the slit image in the visual field of the
microscope.
11. For general observations over a wide field the grey filter is
placed in position by means of lever (9), and the slit is opened
wide.
12. For examination of the posterior of the eye, preset lenses
or diagnostic contact lenses have to be used.
