Inserting the eyepiece reticle
The eyepieces PL 10x/23 Br. foc. are intended for
use with eyepiece reticles.
The slight image shift caused by the additional
path through the glass is taken into account on
the diopter scale by the fact that the zero point
position is indicated not by the white dot (2-4/W),
but by the red dot (2-4/R).
The eyepiece reticles (2-4/1) have been adhered to
screw-in mounts (2-4/2) by the manufacturer to
allow easy replacement.
To replace an eyepiece reticle, only remove screw-
in mount (2-4/2) with eyepiece reticle (2-4/1) and
replace it with a screw-in mount containing the
required eyepiece reticle.
☞
If eyepiece reticles are inserted into the unscrewed mount by the customer, attention must be
paid to the labelling being visible the right way up after insertion.
Compensation of ametropia when eyepiece reticles are used
The correct use of an eyepiece reticle requires two focusing eyepieces, e.g. E-PL 10x/23 Br. foc., to allow
the user to compensate for differences in the visual performance of his two eyes.
• Use the focusing eyepiece to focus on the line figure of the eyepiece reticle; focus on the edge of the
field of view if no eyepiece reticle is used.
• Use the focusing drive to focus on the microscope image of a specimen through the eyepiece set as
described above.
• Then use the second focusing eyepiece to focus the microscope image for the second eye. The
position of the focusing drive on the microscope stand must not be changed.
