Adjusting for ametropia (user's visual impairment) when using eyepiece reticles
The prerequisite for correct use of an eyepiece reticle is two adjustable eyepieces to compensate for
different degrees of ametropia of the user.
•
Focus on the line figure of the eyepiece reticle with the focusable eye lens of the adjustable eyepiece.
•
Focus on the microscopic image of a loaded specimen with the focusing drive while observing with
the eyepiece containing the eyepiece reticle.
•
When both the microscopic image and the eyepiece reticle are in focus, the image for the second eye
is brought into focus with the focusable eye lens of the second eyepiece.
Both microscopic images including the eyepiece reticle are thus in focus. From this point, use only the
focusing drive for any subsequent focusing activity.
