̈Holding the diopter ring,

Persons wearing glasses need the
whole of the available distance.
Move the eyecups to the lowest
position.
The 10×/21B wide-field eyepieces for persons wearing glasses
are supplied with soft eyecups, which can be attached to the in-
tegrated eyecups made of hard plastic to achieve the following:
Prevent eye infections if several users are working at the
same instrument (see p. 7).
Protect your glasses from being scratched.
The 10×/21 wide-field eyepieces are supplied with laterally
tapered soft eyecups.
Setting the working distance, focusing = obtaining a
sharp image
To focus, use the focusing drive to raise or lower the stere-
omicroscope until the feature of interest is in focus working
distance to the objective.
The working distances of the various objectives are listed in
the tables on pages 62 – 66.
The focusing drive can be operated from either the right or
the left side.
When focusing on a new object, always start with the lowest
magnification, because the larger field of view makes the
object easier to find. Afterwards, select the desired magnifi-
cation.
