Page 11: Eyepieces
The interpupillary distance is adjusted by rotating the eyepiece tubes 2 (Fig. 1) in the range of 48–75mm. The distance between the eyepieces matching the observer's interpupillary distance is marked on the adjustment scale 13 on the microscope head (Fig. 1). For convenience, the microscope head is inclined at 30°. -
