Page 12 ® STEINDORFF 3.7. Focus When not using the video set ① Push in the light path selector lever ① completely, then observe with both eyes. Use the 10x objective focus, to avoid the objective touch with the specimen, you should raise the mechanical stage at first, let the specimen close to the objective, then slowly separating them to focus.
Page 13 ® STEINDORFF 3.8. Using the ND Filter Knob The ND Filter is interlocked with brightfield (BF) light path switching so it can be engaged or disengaged according to the mirror selector lever ① .The ND filter makes it possible to reduce the glare when darkfield (DF)is switch to brightfield (BF).
Page 14 ® STEINDORFF 3.10. Selecting the Light Path of the trinocular Tube Slide the mirror selector lever ① toward the indication of the mirror for the desired observation method. BF: Reflected light brightfield observation ③ ② DF: Reflected light darkfield observation Be sure to slide the mirror selector lever until it contacts the stopper.
Page 15 ® STEINDORFF 3.12. Centering the Aperture Iris Diaphragm (AS) Slide the mirror selector lever to “BF”. Engage the 10X objective by rotating the revolving nosepiece, place the specimen on the stage and adjust approximate focusing. Remove the eyepiece, look into the eyepiece sleeve and pull the AS knob ⑤, so that the aperture is about 70%.
