Operation
Adjusting the Microscope
1. Turn on the microscope light source and adjust the parts of the microscope system to make it ready for observation.
2. Pull out the light path selector knob of the trinocular observation tube to select the photomicrography light path. If the side
port of an IX2 series microscope is in use, set the light path for the side port path.
Parfocality Adjustment
}This adjustment consists of allowing the visually observed image and monitored image to be focused simultaneously. It
is recommended to use an objective with as high magnification as possible for this adjustment.
1. Looking into the diopter-adjusted eyepieces, bring the specimen into focus as accurately as possible.
2. Using the Allen screwdriver, lightly loosen the clamping screw @ of the C-mount adapter for the transmitted light port.

3. Turn on the video camera and monitor.
4. Slide the light path selector lever ² to select the light path for the trans-
mitted light port.
5. Now the observation image is displayed on the monitor. Lift the video
camera little by little, and clamp it temporarily by tightening only one of
the clamping screws @ at the position where the monitor image is
focused.
6. After performing fine adjustment and confirming that accurate focusing
is obtained, tighten both clamping screws @ firmly.
}Perform the same procedure when adjusting the parfocality on the re-
flected light port.
