Eyepiece Tube

Optical path selection
The distribution of light for the binocular part and the vertical tube can be selected with the optical
path selector lever.
Vertical tube adapter
To attach a photomicrography or a camera onto the vertical tube, you must use an optional adapter,
a TV adapter or a C-mount adapter. Insert the adapter into the vertical tube and secure it with the
clamp screw using a hexagonal screwdriver.
Angle adjustment of the binocular part
You can adjust the angle of the binocular part of the
trinocular eyepiece tube LV-TT2. Adjust the angle for
your height and comfort.
Centering the vertical tube
The binocular part and the vertical tube of the eyepiece
tube are centered before the shipping, so usually they
can be used without an adjustment.
But some cameras may have their CCD centers shifted
from the center of the mount part. In such a case, you
can adjust the vertical tube center by rotating two
centering screws on the back of the vertical tube.
