IV. Assembly
1 Place the stand on the level surface.
2 Mount the stage plate.
Fit the stage plate into the stand base in the direction shown by the arrow in the illustration.
3 The stand arm can be Raised or lowered. (If you do not need to lower the arm, jump to
step 4.)
Use the hexagonal wrench (large – supplied with the focusing stand) to loosen the arm fixing
screw. Assemble the arm again using the screw hole at the lower side of the vertical slider.
The arm will become 55 mm lower than its original position. Before tightening the screw, make
sure that the two pins on the arm fit in the grooves on the vertical slider.
4 Mount the zooming body.
Lightly tighten the zooming body clamp screw to hold the zooming body on the arm.
Note) Do not over-tighten the zooming body clamp screw since it may cause damage to the
instrument.
5 Insert the eyepieces into the eyepiece sleeves.
Be sure that it is inserted all the way until it touches the end of the sleeve.
Note：When inserting the 10X eyepiece, assure that it touches the end of the sleeve, because the
rubber cover of the 10X eyepiece will obstruct the view of the sleeve end. When inserting, hold
the rubber cover not the diopter ring. If not, a failure could result.
6 The hexagonal wrenches can be stored in the rear of the pillar.
(Refer to the diagram of the foregoing structure)
V. Usage
1. Preparation for Observation
Adjust the torque of the focus knob.
Adjust the torque of the focus knob so as not to fall down the zooming body on its own weight.
2.Adjust the interpupillary distance.
This adjustment should be performed every time the observer is changed since the interpupillary
distance differs between individuals. Adjust the interpupillary distance so that the view field for
each eye is merged into one. Move while holding each sleeve with both hands.
3. Adjust the diopter.
This adjustment should be performed every time the observer is changed since the eyesight
differs between individuals.
1.Turn the diopter rings on both eyepieces to set them at the 0 position
(match the 0 line with the index line).
2.Turn the zooming knob to 5X. Focus on the sample using the focus knob. (Refer to “2.
Focusing”.)
3.Turn the zooming knob to 0.8X. Peering through the left eyepiece with the left eye, focus on
the sample using the diopter ring on the left eyepiece. Then, peer through the right eyepiece
with your right eye and focus on the sample using the diopter ring on the right eyepiece.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the image is kept focused even though the zooming magnification is
