7.5 Eyepieces

Note:

The eyepiece’s aperture protector must be removed,or at least folded back, during microscopy while wearing eyeglasses.

Eyeglasses with multifocal lenses (bifocals and smooth view glasses) must be removed while operating the microscope.

For the adjustable tubes with documentation output, choose the 100% position.

Eyepieces with Inlaid Reticle

Focus the reticle by adjusting the eyelens.

Focus on the object through this eyepiece.

Then, close that eye and focus on the specimen by adjusting only the second ocular.

Correction for Vision Problems

1Control bar

With your right eye, look through the right eyepiece and bring the specimen into sharp focus.

Then, with your left eye, view the same speci- men and rotate the left eyepiece tube until the object is brought into sharp focus. Do not use the focus dial.
