OPERATING WITH YOUR STEREO MICROSCOPE
1.
Place the specimen onto the stage plate and select the type of illumination. If the speci-
men is transparent, turn on the bottom illumination. If the specimen is opaque, turn on the
top illuminator.
2.
The magnification knob is located on the right hand side of the microscope head. The
knob is clearly marked with the optical magnification setting. To change magnifications,
rotate the black magnification knob in one direction or in the opposite, as far as it will turn.
This will place one pair of objectives in alignment for viewing. The power that is in use is
marked on the black magnification knob.
3.
Look through the eyepieces and rotate the focus control knob to focus the specimen in the
field of view.
4.
Grasp the eyepiece tubes and move them either closer together or farther apart, to change
the interpupillary distance to obtain a clear image. Note, if two separate images are observed,
the eyepiece tubes are too far apart and should be moved together. If two overlapping images
are seen, the eyepiece tubes are too close together and should be moved apart.
5.
Close your left eye and adjust the focus controls so the image is in sharp focus, while
viewing with the right eye only.
6.
Close your right eye and while viewing with the left eye only, adjust the diopter ring on the
left eyetube to bring the image of the specimen into sharp focus. The optical system is now
adjusted to your particular vision.
