For each objective, optimal values for the aper-
ture diaphragm and the field diaphragm are al-
ready set. The condenser is also already
adjusted in the factory.
There is a row of function keys both on the right
and left side of the stand. Some of these keys
are defined, and some of them are variable. The
variable function keys have various meanings
depending on the microscope configuration.
