Specimen holder scales

Theses scales allow for easy identification of the specimen’s position 

(coordinates), making it easy to return to a particular region of interest 

after scanning the slide.

1.  The horizontal coordinate can be read at position (1) on the 

specimen holder (fig.18).

2.  The vertical coordinate can be read at the index line (2).

Focusing Procedure

1. Rotate the coarse adjustment knob (1) clockwise so that the objective 

(3) is as close as possible to the specimen (We recommend starting with 

10X). See figure 19.

2.  While observing the specimen through the eyepieces, slowly rotate the    

     coarse adjustment knob (1) counterclockwise to lower the stage.

3.  When  coarse  focusing  of  the  specimen  is  obtained  (an  image  is     

detected), rotate the fine adjustment knob (2) for fine focusing.

Working Distance (WD)

The WD refers to the distance between each objective and the specimen, 

when precise focus of the specimen is obtained.
