MICROSCOPE COMPONENTS
ARM
The frame that connects the head and the base of the microscopes. It also houses the illumi-
nation switch, carrying handle, stage ring, coaxial focus controls, and the incident (top) light.
BASE
Attaches to the bottom of the SILVER3H with a thumb screw located underneath the tripod
base. The tripod legs extend out to ensure stable footing or fold in for storage.
The SILVER3H can also be mounted on a standard camera tripod for use in the field.
COARSE FOCUS CONTROL
The larger, outer knob of the focus control which facilitates rapid and heavy movement of the
focusing mechanism. In order to prevent gear damage, the focus control is equipped with an
upper limit stop that protects the high magnification objectives and slides.
COAXIAL CONTROLS
The coaxial focusing system combines both the coarse and fine focus into one focusing
mechanism located on both sides of the microscope. The large gray knob is the coarse focus
control and the smaller blue knob is the fine focus control.
DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT (SILVER3H-B only)
Located on the left eyepiece of the binocular head, this adjustment compensates for the
differences between the users’ eyes.
