SLIDE-IN ANALYZER The Analyzer is mounted in an in-tube slider which moves the analyzer in and out of the optical path and rotates between 0 and 90 by the lever . When “in” and at 45 position, and with the Polarizing filter in position, these elements are said to be “crossed”...
TENSION CONTROL The tension control knob is provided to allow the individual user to adjust the focus tension to his/her own preference. Tension may be increased by turning the knob with a counterclockwise motion. A lighter tension may be set by turning clockwise. PHOTOGRAPHY AND TELEVISION PHOTOGRAPHY Photographic documentation of microscope visual images is most conveniently achieved by using the...
[3] Rotate the adjustment ring on the straight tube so as to set correctly for optimum conditions of simultaneous visual observation and photography. TELEVISION For television the MA151/10 C Mount should be used, threaded into your TV camera, then placed and adjusted on straight tube of your trinocular body.
