Adjust the interpupillary distance.
This adjustment is to match the distance between
the eyepieces with the distance between your eyes.
Looking through the eyepieces, merge the right and
left viewfields into one by turning the binocular
part. When looking into the eyepieces, do it as if
you look far, and you can merge easily one
viewfield with another.
Changing the Eye Level
Turn the binocular eyepiece tube of your
microscope 180 degrees, and you will get
the microscope with higher eye level. (*1)
If you feel uncomfortable in observing the
image due to the lower eye level, you
may find this convenient. Before storing
the microscope in the cabinet, put back
the binocular eyepiece tube to its original
lower position. If not, the tip of the
eyepiece may hit against the shelf when
storing, or the microscope cannot be
stored in the cabinet.
The eye level can be raised even higher
(till 50 mm) if an “Eye Level Raiser
(optional)” is installed between the main
body and the eyepiece tube.
See P.25 for details on the eye level
raiser.
* The next step 9 is for microscopes equipped with field diaphragm. If the microscope
does not have a field diaphragm, skip to step 10.
*1 When the interpupillary distance is 64 mm,
the eye level is raised about 30 mm.
Merge the right
and left
viewfields into
one.
