Zooming knob clicks ON/OFF screw (inside) Refer to “ON/OFF of the zooming knob clicks.” on p.11 Eyepiece inclination Hexagonal wrench 45° from the horizontal hanger Stores the supplied hexagonal wrenches. Hexagonal wrench (Large) Supplied with the focusing stand for Screw hole for mounting an changing the arm for halogen illuminator height of the arm.
The distance between the focus plane and the bottom surface of the zooming body is called “the working distance”. Since the working distance of the SMZ745T is 115 mm, the focusing will become easier if you set the zooming body at the position where its bottom surface is 115 mm apart from the sample surface.
Adjust the diopter. This adjustment is for adjusting the eyesight of the observer. 1 Turn the diopter rings on both eyepieces to set them at the 0 position (match the 0 line with the index line). 2 Turn the zooming knob to 5X. Focus on the sample using the focus knob.

Insert the eyepieces into the eyepiece sleeves. Be sure that it is inserted all the way to the end of the sleeve. Note) When inserting the 10X eyepiece, assure that it reaches the end of the sleeve, because the rubber cover of the 10X eyepiece will obstruct the view of the sleeve end.
Assembly Antistatic Feature The SMZ745T, the C-PS/C-PSC plain focusing stand and the C-W10X eyepieces are antistatic. You can enjoy this feature when observing the sample that cannot stand much static. When using the microscope on this purpose, change the stage plate to antistatic ESD stage plate and ground the microscope through the ground jack at the rear of the plain focusing stand.
Using Accessories Reticles Your reticles can be attached to the eyepiece. Remove the field ring (or lens room of the 20X and 30X) from the eyepiece, then attach the reticle with its pattern surface facing down to the eyepiece, and reattach the field ring (or lens room).
Halogen Illuminators There are two illuminators available: the G-LS of 6V10W and the C-DSLS of 6V20W.
