objective housing.
2. Prepare eyepieces
a. Remove the eyetube covers and insert
eyepieces into the eyetubes.
b. Slide the eyecups over the eyepieces.
3. Adjust interpupillary distance
a. Place a specimen on the stage and bring it
into focus.
b. While looking through both eyepieces,
move eyepieces together or apart until the
eld appears as one circle.
4. Adjust diopter (Note: Each user should make this
adjustment before use.)
a. Set a at specimen on the stage plate and
turn the zoom control knobs all the way
toward you to the lowest setting.
b. Use the focus knobs (on stand) to bring the
image into sharp focus.
c. Turn the zoom control to the highest
setting and refocus.
d. Close your left eye and adjust the diopter
on the right eyetube until the image is
clear; then close your right eye and repeat
the process.
e. When each eyetubes focuses sharply, the
diopter is properly set.
5. Adjust magnication
a. First, focus on a specimen at the highest
magnication setting (turn zoom control
knobs all the way back) to ensure the
specimen stays in focus at all magnications.
b. Turn the zoom control knobs toward you
to lower the magnication.
Magnication = eyepiece value ×zoom value

Trinocular Model
1. Change the light path direction
a. Slide the prism bar (left side of head,
not shown) all the way in to direct the
light to the binocular eyepieces.
b. Slide the prism bar out to directed
light to the trinocular port. Note that
you cannot simultaneously observe
the sample with both the eyepieces
and the trinocular port.
2. Attach a camera to the trinocular port
a. Use a compatible camera and camera
adaptor.
Trinocular port ID = 27mm
Trinocular port adapter ID = 23mm
b. Refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions to install the camera and
camera adapter.
3. Adjust the camera adaptor so that it
is parfocal (the image in focus in the
eyepieces is also in focus in the camera.)
a. Focus on a sample while looking through
the eyepieces at the highest magnication,
and then slide out the prism.
b. Loosen the set screw on the trinocular
port and slide the tube up or down
to adjust the adapter height until the
image on the camera is in focus. Do
not use the focusing knobs to focus
the camera image.
c. Tighten the set screw to secure the
adapter.
