Page 11: Unpacking
Unpacking The microscope is housed in a moulded Styrofoam container. Remove the tape from the edge of the container and lift the top half of the container. Take some care to avoid that the optical items (objectives and eyepieces) fall out and get damaged. Using both hands (one around the arm and one around the base), lift the microscope from the container and put it on a stable desk. -

Page 27: Using The Microscope
Using the microscope Adjusting interpupillary distance Hold the right and left eyepiece tube with both hands and adjust the interpupillary distance by moving the two parts until one circle of light can be seen. If two circles appear, the interpupillary distance is too big, and if two overlapped circles appear, the interpupilla- ry distance is too small. -
Page 28: Focus Lock Lever (Sz-A6)
Focus lock lever (SZ-A6) The lock lever serves as the focus memory function. After focusing the sample, pull the lever ① towards the front of the microscope and lock it. (Fig. 40). This defines the upper focus point. Now you can move the focus of the microscope with the coarse knob, replace the sample and then bring the system back to the upper point: the sample will be... -
