3. MICROSCOPE ALIGNMENT AND OPERATION 3.1 Interpupillary Distance Adjust the two eyepiece tubes until only one circular field can be seen through the two eyepieces. If two separate circles appear, the interpupillary distance is too large; if two overlapping circles appear, the interpupillary distance is too small. -

Page 14: Cleaning And Caring For The Microscope
5. CLEANING AND CARING FOR THE MICROSCOPE To keep the microscope in good working order, avoid dust and water. If any dust or water happens to get into the microscope, fungus will grow, damaging the microscope. Please note that once fungus has grown, even after cleaning, the problem may reoccur. -
Page 15: Moving The Microscope
Under no circumstances should users clean any lens surface with a dry cotton swab, dry cloth or dry lens paper as this will scratch the lens surface causing irreparable damage. Water is not recommended for cleaning lenses as it will leave water stains on the lens surface, possibly leading to fungus growth and causing irreparable damage. -
