FINO 86000, User Information

• With the drive box seated horizontally, secure

using the hex nut.

• Place the microscope head back into the drive

box and seat securely using the clamp screw (3).

Joint adjustment

The joint arm has a friction joint that is addi-

tionally supported at the centre and in the foot by
internal springs.
In order to adjust the joint arm, the wing nuts on the
joint arm must not be opened. The wing nuts are
used for basic adjustment of the friction and for
occasional readjustment.

Note:

The foot joint is adjusted using the quick-

release lever. The quick-release lever can transmit
forces that are so strong that the joint is completely
blocked. In this case, it is essential that the quick-
release lever is opened slightly prior to adjusting the
joint arm, as the joint arm will otherwise be dama-
ged.

Tip:

If the lever is pulled a little to the side away

from the joint, the lever can be moved to any requi-
red position without opening the joint.

Using the microscope:

• Place both ocular viewfinders (8) on the oculars

(1).

• Unscrew the protective cap from the objective

tube (4) by turning it anticlockwise.

• Look through both oculars (1) and adjust the ocu-

lar distance in line with the interpupillary distance
by turning the objectives (9) inwards or outwards.

• Place the specimen to be viewed under the

microscope on the specimen stage.

• In the case of larger specimens, the distance 

setting selected using the drive knobs at the side
may not be sufficient.

Adjusting the distance using the joint arm (see
sec tion on joint adjustment).

Guide values:

W= Widefield; Oculars 10x (supplied), other magnifi-
cations optionally available.

• Required magnification (1x or 2x) by turning the

objective tube (4) by 90° in each case.

• For fine adjustment, use the drive button (5) to

modify the distance to the object in order to
achieve maximum image precision.

• Set dioptre compensation (2) to suit individual

requirements.

• The working distance and field of vision can be

further increased using the optional FINO add-on
lens with 0.5x reducing optics (item no. 86006).
The add-on lens can be screwed onto the 
quick-action revolver.
