Adjusting the Illumination
The light level may need adjustment depending upon the
specimen density and objective magnification. Adjust the
intensity control knob ④ clockwise (towards the operator)
light intensity for comfortable viewing by turning the light
④
to increase brightness. Turn counterclockwise (away from
the operator) to decrease brightness.
Adjusting Interpupillary Distance
To adjust the interpupillary distance, hold the left and right
eyetubes while observing a specimen. Rotate the
eyetubes around the central axis until the fields of view of
both eyetubes coincide completely. A complete circle
should be seen in the viewing field when viewing the
specimen slide. An improper adjustment will cause
operator fatigue and will disrupt the objective parfocality.
Where the "●" ① on the eyepiece tube lines up, that is the
number for your interpupillary distance. The range is 54-
75mm. Make note of your interpupillary number for future
operation.
