The inter-pupillary distance adjustment consists of regulating the two 

eyepieces to align with both eyes’ pupils so that you can observe a 

single microscopic image through two eyepieces in stereo vision. This 

greatly helps to reduce fatigue and discomfort during observation.

 While looking through the eyepieces, move both eyepieces until the left

and right fields of view coincide completely. The position of index dot •

indicates the inter-pupiliary distance value.

 Note your interpupillary distance so that it can be quickly duplicated.

Adjusting the Interpupillary Distance

Adjusting the Diopter

Procedure for adjusting the diopter:

1. Rotate the right eyepiece to match the markings of your IPD (If your 

IPD is 64, rotate the eyepiece to 64 mark).

2. While looking through the right eyepiece with your right eye, rotate 

the coarse and fine adjustment knobs to bring the specimen into 

focus.

3. While looking through the left eyepiece with your left eye, rotate only 

the diopter adjustment ring on the eyepiece until specimen is at its 

best possible focus.

This is a special feature provided to compensate the tube length 

change  while  changing  IPD  setting.  Follow  this  procedure  to 

obtain optimum parfocality of system to your IPD setting.

Using the Eye Shades

When Wearing Eyeglasses

Use with the eye shades in the normal, folded-down position. This will 

prevent the eyeglasses from being scratched.

When Not Wearing Eyeglasses

Extend the folded eye shades outwards (direction of the arrow) to 

prevent extraneous light from entering into your line of vision.
