In general, the diopter of the left and right eyes differs from individual to individual, so the diopter correction rings on each of the left and right eyepieces should be adjusted to the diopter difference of the observer to minimize fatigue when observing.
Flow of diopter adjustments
Align the diopter ring with the engraved base line.
Please do the following.
①Using the 10X objective, rotate the focus knobs, and bring the specimen in focus.
②Switch to the 40X objective lens and turn the fine focus knob to refocus on the sample.
③Switch to the 10X objective again, adjust the focus by individually rotating only the diopter rings on the left and right eyepieces. Repeat steps ② and ③ twice to eliminate the visual differences between the left and right eyepieces.
Torque adjustment
Rotate the coarse focus knob torque adjustment ring to adjust the torque of the coarse focus knob.
Specimen mounting
Place the specimen slide on the stage with the coverglass facing upward.
Put your finger on the protruding part, open the moveable claw of the specimen holder, and fix the specimen slide with the claw.
Stage movement
Coarse focus knob: Approximately 37.7 mm/rotation
Fine focus knob: Approximately 0.2 mm/rotation
Coarse/fine focus knobs: When looking from the right
Clockwise: Moves the stage up
Counterclockwise: Moves the stage down
Coarse/fine focus knobs: When looking from the left
Clockwise: Stage descends
Counterclockwise: stage rises
Focus on the specimen
Leaving the 10X objective in the optical path, look through the eyepiece lens, and focus on the specimen.
While looking through the eyepiece lens, rotate the coarse focus knob. Lower the stage until the image becomes faintly visible. Remove your hand from the coarse focus knob and rotate the fine focus knob until the object can be seen clearly.
