Dioptric compensation

• This compensation makes possible for peo-
ple wearing glasses to adjust the microscope
to their eyes and use the microscope without
glasses.
1. Put the zoom ② down to the lowest magnification
and focus the specimen with the focusing knobs
③. (Fig. 19)
2. Put the zoom to the maximum magnification and
repeat the focusing.
3. Return to the lowest magnification: the specimen
will be out of focus.
4. Adjust the diopter compensation ring of the right
eyepiece ④ until the image of the right eyepiece
is clear and sharp (Fig. 20). Repeat the procedu-
re for the left eyepiece.
5. Then, check the focus of the image for the whole
zoom range. It should now be perfectly parfocal
(focus is always maintained during the change of

magnification).
