Sterilisable covers are provided to fit over the focus knobs.
Pupillary distance adjustment is performed manually, but the eyepieces are not geared together. For
the best user comfort, ensure that the eyepieces are equidistant from the central axis of the main
optical path.
The adjustable eyepiece may be used to compensate for any refractive error difference between the
left and right eye of the user. First, rotate the adjustable (left) eyepiece so that there are equal
amounts of adjustment on either side. Then focus the microscope while closing the left eye and
looking only through the right eyepiece. When the microscope is focussed, close the right eye and look
with the left eye through the left eyepiece, and rotate the adjusting ring until the left eye is focussed.
When the microscope is fitted to the side of the main microscope head, a tilt angle of approximately 30
degrees will enable the visual field of the assistant microscope to match that of the main microscope
head. To adjust this angle, loosen the angle lock knob while holding the microscope head, tilt the head
to the appropriate angle and lock it again. Small sideways adjustments of the visual field can be
achieved by loosening the microscope lock knob and rotating the microscope head about its mounting
axis. When the fields are aligned correctly, tighten the microscope lock knob once again.
