6.0 Using the Microscope
6.1 Adjusting Interpupillary Distance
The Interpupillary Distance is essentially the distance between
your two pupils expressed in millimeters. When set correctly,
one will see one uniform round field of view or FOV. The
adjustment is made by simply pulling apart or pushing together
the eyetubes until a uniform round field is achieved. Make note
of the number marked on the viewing head so you can repeat
the setting later.
6.2
When you place a specimen on the stage, get it into focus
with the right eye while your left eye is closed. Once the right side
is in focus by using the fine focus knob on the microscope, open
your left eye and use the diopter on the left eyetube to bring the
left side in focus.
Once this is done, the microscope is adjusted to this user. Other
users will have different IP's and different focusing abilities.
6.3 Operation
Once the microscope has been setup in its working location with all of the
components correctly installed, it is ready for use.
Your BIMC-04NS05 is a precision instrument designed to last a lifetime. always
handle your microscope with care and avoid abrupt motion vibration and hock.
6.4 Focusing the Microscope
1. To focus the sample, use the focusing knobs located on both sides of the
head holder. By turning these knobs, the microscope can be moved up or
down a certain distance to focus the sample. This movement is enabled by a
“rack and pinion”
mechanism. The tension of the focusing knob can be
adjusted using the tension knob located in the inner region of the focusing
knob on the right.
If a sharp focus cannot be achieved using this knob, release the locking screw
and support collar and move the whole microscope up or down.
