Insertion of eyepieces
☞
All Axiotech microscopes are equipped
with two focusing eyepieces.
An overview of available eyepieces is
given in section 1.5.
• Remove both protection caps (2-9/1) from the
binocular phototube (2-9/2).
• Insert focusing eyepieces (2-9/4) into the
eyepiece tubes (2-9/3).
• If one focusing eyepiece is available, set diopter
zero position to the white dot (W) of the
eyepiece ring and focus on the object with the
eye with less ametropia via the coaxial drive.
• Then set the focus for the eye with a higher
prescription through the second eyepiece until
the object is clearly defined and seen in focus
with both eyes.
☞
Particularly in reflected-light
polarization contrast or fluorescence
techniques of low light intensity, the
standard rubber rings (2-10/2) can be
replaced with fold-down rubber
eyecups (2-10/1) to protect the
eyepieces from stray light.
