Leica M60 Correct Interpupillary Distance, Reference value, Adjusting the interpupillary distance

The Correct Interpupillary Distance

The interpupillary distance is correctly set if you see a single circular image field when looking at a specimen.

If you are still a novice microscope user, you may need a short time to become accustomed to this. Not to worry—after a little while, it will become automatic.

Reference value

The distance between eye and eyepiece measures approx. 22 mm for 10/23B wide-field eyepieces for persons wearing glasses.

Adjusting the interpupillary distance

1.Look into the eyepieces.

2.Hold the eyepieces with both hands. Push the eyepieces together or separate them until you see a circular image.

3.Slowly approach the eyepieces with your eyes until you can see the complete image field without corner cutting.
