Inserting eyepieces or auxiliary
microscope or pinhole diaphragm
•
Remove both dust caps (Fig. 3-4/
1
and
5
) from
the binocular tube.
•
Remove both eyepieces (Fig. 3-4/
2
) from the
box and insert them into the binocular tube to
the stop.
NOTE
Before inserting Pol eyepieces with
tubes without upright reticles, the
orientation screw on the reverse side of
the eyepieces must be unscrewed. The
eyepieces cannot otherwise be fully
inserted.
•
Instead of an eyepiece you may insert an auxiliary microscope (
3
) into one of the binocular
eyepiece tubes in order to observe aperture, phase and darkfield diaphragms and to center phase and
darkfield diaphragms. These diaphragms can be focused with the adjustable eye lens of the auxiliary
microscope.
•
The auxiliary microscope (Fig. 3-4/
3
) or pinhole diaphragm (Fig. 3-4/
4
) can be used to observe
conoscopic images.
Inserting the eyepiece reticle
Eyepiece reticles (Fig. 3-5/
5
) can be used with
eyepieces (Fig. 3-5/
3
) marked with a red dot
R
).
•
Unscrew mounting stop (Fig. 3-5/
6
) from the
eyepiece (Fig. 3-5/
3
).
•
Pull locking ring (Fig. 3-5/
4
) out.
•
Insert eyepiece reticle (Fig. 3-5/
5
) into the
mounting stop and fix it with the locking ring.
•
Screw mounting stop (Fig. 3-5/
6
) into the
eyepiece (Fig. 3-5/
3
).
Make sure that the side of the reticle (Fig. 3-5/
5
)
with the line pattern on it is facing the mounting
stop in the tube (Fig. 3-5/
6
) (the line pattern occurs
mirror-inverted from the observer’s point of view
before the insertion). After insertion into the beam
path of the microscope it is readable true to side.
