Default setting of the microscope
4.1.1
Setting the inter-pupillary distance on the binocular tube
•
Adjust the individual inter-pupillary distance by
symmetrically swiveling the two eyepiece tubes
towards each other (Fig. 4-1).
The correct inter-pupillary distance has been set
when the observer sees only
one
round image
when looking into the eyepieces.
4.1.2
Setting the viewing height
•
Adjust the viewing height to your individual
requirements by swiveling the eyepiece tubes
up (Fig. 4-2/
A
) or down (Fig. 4-2/
B
).
This individual height adjustment in two stages
(upper and lower position) is basically possible with
all tubes of the Axiolab 5 program. The viewing
height thus achieved depends on the selected
inter-pupillary distance and the tube viewing angle,
which may be stationary or variable, depending on
the model. With an inter-pupillary distance of
65 mm and a tube viewing angle of 30°, the
height adjustment range is approximately 40 mm.
Binocular ergo (photo) tubes (425511-0000-000,
425512-0000-000, 425514-0000-000, 425520-
9050-000) are provided with continuous vertical
adjustment with a range of 44 mm to 50 mm.
The binocular part of the ergo photo tube 425520-9050-000 is also continuously horizontally retractable
up to 50 mm.
The eyepoint angle of the binocular ergo (photo) tubes (425522-9020-000 and 425522-9030-000) is
continuously adjustable within a range from 8° to 38°.
The comfortable binocular ergo tube (425522-9040-000) is continuously height-adjustable by up to
50 mm and angle-adjustable from 8° to 33°. This is the ergo tube which received the highest rating and
recommendation from TÜV in terms of microscope workstation ergonomics.
