4 Adjust the diopter.
This adjustment is for adjusting the eyesight of the observer.
- Turn the diopter rings on both eyepieces to set them at the 0 position (match the 0 line with the index line).
- Turn the zooming knob to 5X. Focus on the sample using the focus knob. (Refer to “2. Focus on the sample.” on p.10.)
- Turn the zooming knob to 0.67X. Look into the left eyepiece with the left eye, and focus on the sample using the diopter ring on the left eyepiece. Then, look into the right eyepiece with your right eye and focus on the sample using the diopter ring on the right eyepiece.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the image is kept focused even though the zooming magnification is changed. This adjustment ensures the sharp image throughout the zooming range.
This adjustment should be performed each time the observer is changed since individual eyesights vary.
5 Change the zooming magnification.
The magnification of the sample image will change by turning the left and right zooming knobs of the zooming body. Choose the desired magnification.
The right zooming knob from the viewing side has the indication of the zooming magnification. Total magnification can be calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the zooming magnification.
