Application
Grey filter N/Neutral density filter
Grey filters (neutral density filters) are used to
attenuate light without influencing the colour
temperature. The engraved value, e.g. N16,
indicates the attenuation value. N16, therefore,
means reduction to f

= 100/16 = 6.25 %
transmission.

If wearing glasses you should remove (18.10,
for 10x/
25
) or push back (18.10, for 10x/
20
and
10x/
22
) the glare protection, but make sure to
put it on if you are not wearing glasses (18.7).
Set your interpupillary distance by pulling the
eyepiece tubes apart or pushing them closer
together (Fig. 27) until you see one
superimposed image, not a double image, when
you look with both eyes. Make a note of your
personal interpupillary distance, e.g. 65. In
addition for Ergotubes (44.3, 44.5, 46.10): set the
viewing angle (0 – 35
°
) by tilting the binocular
viewing port. To avoid fatigue symptoms, vary
the viewing angle from time to time.
Close any tube exits you will not be using (44.4;
46.5), as stray light may otherwise disturb
viewing.
Analyser*
If the microscope has an integrated analyser
(28.1, 32.6), fit or remove as required (only
necessary for polarized light,
