3.2.9 Eyepieces
3.2.9.1 Eyepieces
Purpose
The eyepieces serve to observe the microscopic image.
Position
The eyepieces are inserted into the tube.
Function
Both eyepieces are suitable for spectacle wearers. Additionally, they contain a focusing ring for
compensation of defective vision. The provided diopter scale helps to find the correct setting.
When using the microscope for fluorescence applications, the special eyecups with light protec-
tion can be used. However, they cannot be folded over and are not suitable for spectacle wearers.

Purpose
The eyepieces with eyepiece reticles serve to observe the microscopic image in special microscopy
procedures.
Position
The eyepieces with reticles are inserted into the tube.
The eyepiece reticles must be inserted under dust-free conditions. This should be carried out only
by ZEISS Service.
