the interpupillary distance.
}Note your interpupillary distance so that it can be quickly duplicated.

Adjusting the Diopter

1. Looking through the eyepiece without the diopter adjustment ring, rotate
the coarse and fine adjustment knobs to bring the specimen into focus.
2. Looking through the eyepiece with the diopter adjustment ring, turn only
the diopter adjustment ring @ to focus on the specimen. (Fig. 22)
Using a Finder Eyepiece

eyepiece ² until a clearly defined double crossline can be seen in the
field of view. (Figs. 22 & 23)
2. Looking through the right eyepiece, rotate the coarse and fine adjust-
ment knobs to bring the specimen and double crossline into simulta-
neous focus.
3. Looking through the left eyepiece with your left eye, turn the diopter ad-
justment ring @ to focus on the specimen.

Using the Eye Shades

When Wearing Eyeglasses
Use with the eye shades in the normal, folded-down position. This will
prevent the eyeglasses from being scratched.
When Not Wearing Eyeglasses
Extend the folded eye shades in the direction of the arrow to prevent
extraneous light from entering between the eyepieces and eyes.
