Focus Control Turning either of the coarse focus control knob s will raise or low er the stage. The smallest gr aduation on the fine adjust knob i ndex scale is 2μm of ve rtical.

Focus Tension Adjus tment The tension of the coarse focus is adjustable and p reset at the fact ory for ease of use. If you wish to adjust the coarse focus tension, firs t locate the tension adjustment ring, It is located between the frame and c oarse adjust ment knob. Turning t he ring toward the rear of the microscope increases the tension, and towar d the f ront of the microscope loos ens it. Tensio n is too high if you experi ence physical discomfort.

Pre-focusing or Focus St op Control Use of this fea ture will insure that the shorter working distance objectives don't contact the stage or specime n when using the microscope. Its use also simplifies focusin g. After focusing on the specimen wi th the coarse adjustment by low magnification eyepiece, rota tion of th e lever toward the han dler will set and upper limit on the coars e adjustment m ovement . After changing s pecimens or objectives , focusing is easily accomplished by rotati ng the coarse adjustment kno b to reach th e pr e-focused pos itio n, then mak ing fine adjustments with the fine adju stment kno b. Focusing movement with the fine adjustme nt isn't affected by using the pre-f ocusing lever.

Di opte r A dj us tm en t P ro pe r correction for individual visi on is ac complished vi a t he di opt er adju stment located at the le ft eyepiece, see figure 4. Usi ng the 40X ma gnifica tion objective, b ring An image into focu s with your righ t eye only. Once the image is w ell focused, o bserve with left ey e, make fine ad justments wit h the diopter Adju stment ring to correct for your Vision.

Proper interpu pillary distance , Or the distance between eyepi eces, is crucial to the c omfort of the user. Adjusting the inter pupillary dist ance is accompli shed through a “folding” a ction of the optica l head, at figure 4, allowin g for quick and easy adj ustment.

If the filament i mage is not cent ered in the over pass hole, reduce the aperture diaphragm, adjust the light bulb transverse and vertical adjustment to obtain a uni form image. Adjust t he focusing lens lever until a sharp image of th e lamp fi lament i s attained, refer to figure 7 for this step.

To Observe th e Facilit y Polariz er (Optional)

Loosen the set screw, see figure 9, remove the entire cover b oard from the lamp house.

The halogen lamp can be removed by grasping the lamp and pulling it firmly from its fixture. Take care not to touch the lamp with bare fingers, as the lamp will be hot.

Insert the new halogen lamp into the same fixture. When installing the new lamp, be careful no t to touch th e glass with your fingers.
