The parallax-free imaging produces more precise results in
photography, measuring and polarization.
̈Shift the stereomicroscope to the left
or the right position. The object is now
located directly beneath either the left
or the right beam path.
• When photographing or measuring, se-
lect the beam path above which the pho-
totube or measuring graticule is located.
A rotating aperture is build into the AX microscope carrier. It
prevents interfering reflections during axial observation with
coaxial incident illuminator and quarter-wave plate.
• With the AX microscope carrier for MS5, MZ6, MZ7
5, MZ95,
the aperture automatically turns during the moving process.
• With the AX microscope carrier for MZ12
5, MZ16, MZ16 A,
the aperture is located underneath the microscope carrier
and must manually be turned as follows:
Please note:
– In the position for stereoscopic observa-
tion through both beam paths, turn the
aperture counterclockwise until it stops.
Otherwise the field of view is underex-
posed (vignetting).
– In the position for axial observation
through the right or left beam path, turn
the aperture clockwise until it stops.
