Adjusting the ergonomic base plate
Adjusting viewing height
The viewing height of the microscope can be
adjusted by turning the feet (2-3/
3
) on the base
plate in four levels. The height difference is 10
mm per level (total lift 30 mm).
When the viewing height is changed, the slope
of the hand rest on the ergonomic base plate is
changed automatically. The adjustment range is
approximately 6.5°.
When setting the viewing height, there is a risk
of getting your hands caught between the table
and ergonomic base plate or adjustment feet;
therefore, do not place your hands under the
ergonomic base plate or adjustment feet when
setting it down.
•
To set the height, lift the entire unit with
the handle on the back of the ergonomic
base plate (2-3/
2
). The adjustment feet
(2-3/
3
) will disengage and can be adjusted.
•
Select desired height by turning the
adjustment feet, then lower the entire unit.
The adjustment feet will engage in position
automatically.
Setting viewing angle (microscope slope)
The slope of the microscope in relation to the
table surface or hand rest can be set according
to your needs and application. There are four
settings (adjustment range 6.5° in steps of
2.2°).
In one setting, the microscope is basically
parallel to the table surface.
•
Grasp the microscope at the top of the
stand (2-3/
1
)and lift it by tilting it back
slightly; while doing so, press the locking
button (2-3/
4
) until it unlocks.
•
Tilt the microscope backward or forward
until you reach the desired angle.
•
Let go the the locking button when you
reach the desired position. When the
button engages, let go of the stand.
