3.8 Adjusting iris aperture diaphragm
Swing the iris diaphragm lever (
Fig. 9
) left or right to
adjust the aperture size.
Note:
The iris diaphragm is designed to adjust the aperture size,
not to adjust the brightness although the brightness will be
changed when it's adjusted. When aperture is adjusted to
smaller size, the contrast will be increased and the depth
of field will be increased as well. Turn up the intensity of
the light if the image is too dim
.

The focus tension has been pre-set at the factory. If
the mechanical stage drops by itself, rotate the
tension adjustment ring (

) situated between the
coarse focus knob and microscope body on the power
switch side until the tension is in maintained.
