The slight image shift caused by the additional path through glass is taken into account on the diopter
scale by the fact that the zero point position is indicated not by the white dot (Fig. 3-5/
W
), but the red
dot (Fig. 3-5/
R
).
NOTE
The eyepiece reticles must be inserted under dust-free conditions. This should be carried out
only by ZEISS Service.
Inserting reversible eyecups
The eyepieces have rubber protection rings to avoid scratches on the eyeglasses. These may be replaced
by reversible eyecups as desired.
•
For this purpose, remove the eyeglass protection rings (Fig. 3-5/
2
) from the eyepieces and mount the
eyecups (Fig. 3-5/
1
).
Sometimes the eyeglass protection rings are seated very tightly in the eyepiece groove, so you may need
a blunt specimen (wooden stick) to prod them off.

Screwing in objectives
•
Move mechanical stage with stage carrier to
lower stop.
•
Remove the dust protection caps (Fig. 3-6/
5
)
from the appropriate openings in the
nosepiece.
•
Remove objectives (Fig. 3-6/
4
) from the case
and screw them into the nosepiece (Fig. 3-6/
1
)
starting with the smallest magnification factor
(set up clockwise).
•
Instead of an objective, the specimen marker
(Fig. 3-6/
3
) with an adapter W0.8/M27
2
) can be screwed on in any desired
nosepiece position. If the specimen marker is
not to be used for an extended period, apply
the protective cap to prevent it from drying out.
NOTE
Always replace the dust protection caps on any empty positions on the nosepiece.
NOTE
Adapter W0.8/M27 is required when using W0.8 objectives.
