Operating the microscope

3.4.1 Setting interpupillary distance and
viewing height
• Rotate the eyepiece tubes symmetrically toward
or away from one another to adjust the
distance between the tubes to your individual
interpupillary distance (Fig. 18).
The adjustment of the interpupillary distance is
correct when you see only one round image while
looking through the two eyepieces!
• Swivel the eyepiece tubes upward (Fig. 19/A) or
downward (Fig. 19/B) to adjust the viewing
height to your individual requirements.
3.4.2 Compensating for ametropia and
inserting the eyepiece pointer or
eyepiece micrometer
The eyepieces (Fig. 20/3) are equipped with fold-
over rubber eyecups (Fig. 20/1: pulled out;
Fig. 20/2: folded over).
Both eyepieces are suitable for spectacle wearers.
Additionally, they contain a focusing ring for the
compensation of defective vision. The provided
diopter scale serves to facilitate finding the correct
setting.
When using the Primo Star iLED for fluorescence
applications, the special eyecups with light
protection can be used. However, they cannot be
folded over and are not suitable for spectacle
wearers.
If required, an eyepiece pointer or an eyepiece
micrometer can be inserted in one eyepiece.
To this end, follow this procedure:
• Use Allen key SW 1 mm to loosen the set screw
(Fig. 20/6) on the binocular body from below;
remove the eyepiece.
• Unscrew the stop (Fig. 20/5) by hand from the
eyepiece.
• Insert the eyepiece pointer (Fig. 20/4a) or the
eyepiece micrometer (Fig. 20/4b) into the
eyepiece (with the coated side facing your eyes).
Screw in the eyepiece stop again.
