PREPARATIONS
9 While holding the prism box, look through the eyepiece with both eyes, and adjust the eye
width so that the image projected on the test rod comes together and looks three-
dimensional.
The eyepiece with scale may be included in the components, depending on the specifications.
1 Insert the test rod into the rotation shaft cavity, and set the black face square with the
microscope.
2 Set the eyepiece with scale to the non-dominant eye side.
3 Turn the POWER switch ON and turn the brightness adjustment knob to an intermediate
position.
4 Adjust the illumination to φ 10mm by adjusting the slit adjustment knob and aperture/slit
length selector knob.
5 Turn the diopter adjusting ring of the eyepiece with scale ( ) fully counter-clockwise.
6 Turn the diopter adjusting ring clockwise and stop when you can clearly see both the scale
( ) and the test rod.
7 Read the value on the diopter scale of the stop position. The value shows the diopter (D).
8 Set the diopter scale of the other eyepiece to the value read.
9 Set the eyepiece with scale ( ) to the dominant eye side, and adjust the diopter scale of
the dominant eye as in steps 5 and 6.
10 After adjusting the diopter, turn the slit adjustment knob until the slit width is about 1mm,
then check if the slit image projected on the test rod can be clearly seen with both right
and left eyes.
