    Assembly ☞ • An equipment model name in the bold-faced brackets [ ] indicates that the following description is exclusively for that model. [C-PS160] Pillar Attach the pillar to the stand. Insert the pillar straight into the stand with the Groove groove of the pillar located down as far as the pillar reaches to the bottom.
  • Page 15 [C-PS & C-PSC] The stand arm can be lowered. (If you Groove do not need to lower the arm, jump to step 6.) Use the hexagonal wrench (large - supplied with the focusing stand) to loosen the arm fixing screw. Reattach the arm using the screw hole at the lower side of the vertical slider.
  • Page 16 Assembly Insert the eyepieces into the eyepiece sleeves. Be sure that it is inserted all the way until it touches the end of the sleeve. Note) When inserting the eyepiece, hold the rubber cover of the eyepiece. Holding the diopter ring causes a failure. Especially, be careful with the 10X eyepieces because their rubber covers obstruct the view of the sleeve end.

    Usage Preparations For Observation Adjust the torque of the focus knob. Adjust the torque of the focus knob so as not to fall down the zooming body on its own weight. [C-FMC] Increasing the torque. Turn the torque adjustment ring using the clamp tool.

  • Page 18: Adjust The Diopter

    Adjust the diopter. This adjustment should be performed every time the observer is changed since the eyesight differs between individuals. 1 Turn the diopter rings on both eyepieces to set them at the 0 position (match the 0 line with the index line). 2 Turn the zooming knob to the highest magnification.

  • Page 19: Zoom

    Usage Zoom Change the zooming magnification. Turning the zooming knobs on the left and right side of the zooming body will change the magnification of the sample image. ■ Total Magnification The zooming knob has the indication of the zooming magnification. The total magnification can be found by multiplying the magnification of the objective times that of the eyepieces.
