Adjusting the interpupillary distance
The adjustment of the interpupillary distance is to adjust the distance
between two eyepieces to fit to the distance between your two eyes. By
doing so, you can see the single microscope image so that the fatigue of
your eyes during observation can be reduced.
1
Align the right and left eyepieces horizontally.

2
While looking through the eyepieces, move the binocular section either
in a or b direction until the right and left fields of view coincide
completely. The value shown by the index c on binocular section
represents your interpupillary distance.

Adjusting the diopter
The adjustment of the diopter is to correct the difference in the diopter by
each observer.
When the eyepiece is not equipped with the eyepiece micrometer
1
While pressing the lower part a of the eyepiece, rotate the diopter
a
adjustment ring b to set the index c to "0". Perform this operation
for right and left eyepieces.
2
Adjust the interpupillary distance.
3
Place the sample.

focusing knobs to bring the sample into focus.
5
Change to the 40X objective or higher and rotate the coarse/fine
focusing knobs to bring the sample into focus.
6
Change to the 10X objective. While looking into the left eyepiece with
your left eye, rotate the diopter adjustment ring b to bring the sample
into focus. In the same manner, while looking into the right eyepiece
with your right eye, rotate the diopter adjustment ring to bring the
sample into focus.
7
Change to the 40X objective or higher again and rotate coarse/fine
focusing knobs to bring the sample into focus.
8
Change to the 10X objective, and while looking through the right and
left eyepieces, check that the sample is in focus.
