Set the observation light path selection knob
a
to the BF position.
Press the objective selection button
b
to engage the 10X objective
in the light path and bring the sample into focus approximately.
It is recommended to use a highly reflective sample, such as
a mirror, etc. to facilitate observation of the aperture diaphragm
image.
When you remove the eyepieces and look into the observation
tube, you can see the aperture diaphragm image. Push the aperture
diaphragm open/close button
c
to adjust so that the aperture
diaphragm image becomes approximately 70% of the pupil of the
objective. (as shown in the picture below)
