2. Components
Tomakeiteasiertoidentifythesub-partsofthemicroscope,theSeilerMicroscopesEvolutionZoomisdividedinto
modules,asshowninthegurebelow:
STRUCTURAL
The mechanical module, with structural function, consists of Column (I) and Pantographic Arm (IV).
ILLUMINATION:
Joined to the Pantographic Arm (IV) is the Illumination Box (III), which generates light. The light is supplied to the
working area by means of an Optical Fiber Cable to the microscope’s Optical Assembly (VII), which is made up of a
seriesoflensesincludingtheObjectiveLens.
CONTROL
The Control Box (II) joins the electronic circuits for the Microfocusing, Illumination Brightness Control, Zoom and XY
System functions of the microscope.
OPTICAL MODULE
TheOpticalModule(VII)comprises:ObjectiveLens,MagnicationSystem(Zoom),andBinocularHead(Fixedat45º
or Inclinable).

DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT.
The diopter adjustment aims at adapting
the microscope to the user’s eyes, reaching
the maximum efficiency in the image view
in the microscope. This adjustment allows
for both eyes to see focused-way object.
The diopter adjustment should be done in
the ring, which is located below the
eyepiece. There is a reference trace – fixed
– for better guiding this adjustment.
Check before starting any adjustment, if
zero (0) of the ring coincides with the fixed
reference trace.
It is possible to adjust between –6 and +6
diopters.
INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE ADJUSTMENT
The interpupillary distance adjustment aims at the adaptation of the equipment to your
interpupillary distance so that to reach the ideal work adjustment. The ideal distance is
reached when the user views a single image (overlapping of eyepieces images);
For models with an Inclinable Binocular Head, adjustments are carried out manually by
turning the side knob below.
