Inserting the eyepiece reticle

The eyepieces PL 10x/23 Br. foc. are intended for
use with eyepiece reticles.

The slight image shift caused by the additional
path through the glass is taken into account on
the diopter scale by the fact that the zero point
position is indicated not by the white dot (2-4/W),
but by the red dot (2-4/R).

The eyepiece reticles (2-4/1) have been adhered to
screw-in mounts (2-4/2) by the manufacturer to
allow easy replacement.

To replace an eyepiece reticle, only remove screw­in mount (2-4/2) with eyepiece reticle (2-4/1) and
replace it with a screw-in mount containing the
required eyepiece reticle.

the user to compensate for differences in the visual performance of his two eyes.
