1.1d Interpupillary Adjustment

The head uses a Siedentopf adjustment mechanism which allows the ocular tubes to be moved inward or outward by

lifting or lowering both halves of the housing in an arcing motion. This is referred to as interpupillary adjustment, which

is designed to properly align the eyepieces with your eyes. The adjustment is meant to match the distance between your

eyes' pupils which is called the interpupillary distance. The adjustment process should be performed prior to observation

of a specimen, and requires that the illuminator is active. Attempt to look through both eyepieces, adjusting the interpu-

pillary-adjustment mechanism accordingly until the eyepieces are aligned with your eyes, and an image can be seen with

both eyes. This process should be repeated whenever viewing a specimen to ensure alignment.
