Setting the working distance, focusing = obtaining a sharp image
•To focus, use the focusing drive to raise or lower the stere- omicroscope until the feature of interest is in focus ≅ working distance to the objective.
The working distances of the various objectives are listed in the tables on pages 62 – 66.
•The focusing drive can be operated from either the right or the left side.
•When focusing on a new object, always start with the lowest magnification, because the larger field of view makes the object easier to find. Afterwards, select the desired magnifi- cation.
