Use Guide

  • Adjust the tilting head to 0-35 degrees before use to match the operator's eye level
  • Set the interpupillary distance between 50mm and 76mm for proper binocular fusion
  • Use the clutch handle on the mechanical stage for quick positioning, then fine-tune with the coaxial focus
  • Select the correct objective and illumination mode (bright field, dark field, polarizing, DIC) based on sample type
  • For high-precision work, use the 0.001mm fine focus control and lock the tension adjustment
  • Attach the C-mount adapter to the trinocular port for camera integration, using 0.5X, 0.65X, or 1X as needed
  • Use the polarizing kit and DIC attachment when inspecting transparent or anisotropic materials
