    1. INTRODUCTION The Motic SMZ-171 series stereomicroscopes are high performance Greenough design stereomicroscopes with continuous zoom ranges of 6.7:1. The microscopes in this series allow continuous variable magnification between 7.5X-50X, while total magnification varies from 2.25X to 200X depending on the eyepieces and auxiliary objectives used. With the bilateral zoom knobs, users are able to adjust magnification while the microscope remains perfectly parfocal.

    3. MICROSCOPE ALIGNMENT AND OPERATION 3.1 Interpupillary Distance Adjust the two eyepiece tubes until only one circular field can be seen through the two eyepieces. If two separate circles appear, the interpupillary distance is too large; if two overlapping circles appear, the interpupillary distance is too small.

    4.4.4 Add an additional objective to the microscope at the bottom part of the stereo-head and screwing an additional objective onto the stereo head. The height of the microscope must be re- adjusted as the working distance will change when an additional objective is attached. Other Accessories 4.5.1 For the SMZ-171 there are various accessories designed for various applications:...
