(1) Use of the focusing test rod The focusing test rod which is a standard accessory, is used to establish the proper micro- scope settings for each use.
(4) Interpupillary distance adjustment While looking through the eyepieces at the image on the focusing test rod, adjust the converg- ing binocular's prism box, so that the image is fused and a stereo-scopic image results. For operator comfort, since each eyepiece can be moved independently, insure that both eye- pieces are at the same height.
(4) Locking the base To lock the base, tighten the base locking knob. (5) Focusing * Gross adjustment for alignment or focusing is done by the operation described in (1) * Fine adjustment for alignment or focusing should be done by the operations described in (2) and (3) above while looking through the microscope.
