Trinocular Tube; Zoom System - Leica MacroFluo User Manual

2.5 Trinocular tube

Trinocular tube ➜ incident illuminator
Tool: Allen key.
Slightly unscrew the hexagon-head screw (3.9).
Insert the trinocular tube FSA HC L 3TP (3.8) in
the circular mount (dovetail ring) and align by
turning (view from the front). Ensure that the
components do not jam.
Tighten the clamping screw (3.9).
Eyepieces
– The designation on the eyepiece, e.g. 10×/25,
indicates the magnification and the eyepiece
field number. The field number (FN) designates
the diameter of the intermediate image in the
eyepiece in mm, i.e. the diameter of the circular
diaphragm that limits the image and is located
within the eyepiece.
– Wide-angle HC plan eyepieces 10×/25 and
10×/22 feature a removable or invertible eyecup
and can be used by users with and without
glasses. For microscopy with glasses, the
attached eyecup (10.3) must be removed or
inverted; otherwise, it may not be possible to
view the total field of view any longer.
– On principle, use only two eyepieces with iden-
tical magnification and field number.
– Wide-angle HC plan eyepieces 10×/25 and
10×/22 feature an adjustable eye lens for
diopter compensation and a mount for reticule
graticules with a diameter of 26mm.
Insert the wide-angle HC plan eyepiece 10×/25
or 10×/22 in the tubes.
