9.4 Diopter compensation
• This compensation makes possible for people 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 procedure 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).
