ADJUSTING THE INERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (IPD)
The inter-pupillary distance adjustment consists of regulating the
two eyepieces to align with both eyes’ pupils so that you can
observe a single microscope image through two eyepieces in
stereo vision. This greatly helps to reduce fatigue and discomfort
during observation.
While looking through the eyepieces, move both eye tubes lateral-
ly until the left and right fields of view coincide completely.
IPD is printed on circular disc between the two eye tubes.
The position of index dot (
•
) indicated the inter-pupiliary
distance value.
Note your interpupillary distance so that it can be quickly referred
to in the future. This is happen when multiple users work with the
microscope.
Procedure for adjusting the diopter:
1. Rotate the right eyepiece to match the center of the diopter
scale markings.
2. While looking through the right eyepiece with your right eye,
rotate the coarse and fine adjustment knobs to bring the
specimen into focus.
3. While looking through the left eyepiece with your left eye,
rotate only diopter adjustment ring on the eyepiece until
specimen is at its best possible focus.
Using the Eye Guards
When Wearing Eyeglasses
Use with the eye guards in the normal, folded-down position.
This will prevent the eyeglasses from being scratched.
When Not Wearing Eyeglasses
Extend the folded eye guards outwards (direction of the arrow) to
prevent ambient light entering into your line of vision.
