Using The Eyepieces - Leica Z6 APO A User Manual

Using the Eyepieces

The eyepieces form the connection between
the tube and the eye of the observer. Simply
push them into the tube and they are ready to
use.
Each eyepiece offers a certain magnification
factor that has a determinative effect on the
total magnification. Furthermore, all Leica
eyepieces can be equipped with practical grati-
cules that enable measuring and quantifying of
specimens.
Dioptric Correction
A built-in dioptric correction is available for
eyeglass wearers. For more information, refer
to Page 51.

If you do not wear glasses:
1. Hold the eyepiece firmly and rotate the
eyecups forwards counterclockwise.
2. If an eyepiece is equipped with the integ-
rated dioptric correction, turn the value to
the "0" mark.
User Manual
If you wear glasses:
1. Hold the eyepiece firmly and rotate the
eyecups clockwise towards the rear, as
otherwise the viewing distance is too great.
2. If an eyepiece is equipped with the integ-
rated dioptric correction, turn the value to
the "0" mark.
By the way, one benefit of viewing with eyeglas-
ses is a drastically lower risk of bacterial trans-
mission (see page 53). The soft material of the
eyecup also ensures that your glasses will not
be scratched, even if they contact the eyepiece.
