Eyepieces with eyepiece micrometer disk
1. Look through the eyepiece with eyepiece micrometer disk and rotate its
diopter adjustment rings ² to bring the micrometer scale into focus.
2. Place an easy-to-observe specimen on the stage plate.
3. Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for low magnification, look through the
eyepiece with eyepiece micrometer disk and rotate the focus adjustment
knob | to bring the specimen into focus.
4. Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for the highest magnification and
rotate the focus adjustment knob | to bring the specimen into focus.
5. Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for the lowest magnification and rotate
the diopter adjustment ring ƒ of the eyepiece without eyepiece micrometer
disk, instead of the focus adjustment knob |, to bring the specimen into
focus.
}Note the left and right diopter scale values so that it can be quickly
duplicated in future observations.
Diopter scale of the 10X eyepieces
}The valid range of the diopter scale is between –8 and +5 but a slight
margin is added to it. Therefore, the diopter value may exceed +5 or –8
when it is adjusted to the maximum. In this case, whether the diopter
value is over +8 or under –5 can be identified by the length of the
eyepiece.

}The magnification can be limited in the desired range by setting each
stopper on the microscope body (also used as the magnification indices)
and the stopper ring on each zoom adjustment knob. The right zoom
adjustment knob is used to limit the higher end of the magnification, and
the left knob is used to limit the lower end.
1. Using an Allen wrench, loosen the clamping screw of the right stopper
ring @ and free it. (Also free the left knob in this way.)
2. Rotate the right zoom adjustment knob ² to align the desired higher-limit
magnification with the index (stopper) ³.
3. Gently apply the stopper ring @ to the stopper ³ and tighten the clamping
screw using the Allen wrench to retain this condition.
4. Set the left zoom adjustment knob according to the desired lower-limit
magnification by rotating the left knob and clamping the left stopper ring
in the same way as above.
