This operation is intended to facilitate the rotation of the knobs

TIP

while preventing the spontaneous drop of the microscope

body. It is recommended to set the knob tension to a slightly

higher level than the point where spontaneous drop occurs.

If the knobs are hard to move because of the weight of option

modules and/or camera mounted on the microscope body, it

is recommended to use the focusing assembly for heavy load

(SZX2-FOFH).

The tension of the coarse focus adjustment knob can

NOTE

be adjusted with the tension adjustment ring a . Do

not rotate the knobs on the left and right in opposite

directions, for this will damage the internal mechanism.

Rotate the tension adjustment ring a by inserting the Allen

screwdriver c into the hole b on the ring periphery.

Rotating the ring clockwise increases the tension of the coarse

focus adjustment knob, and rotating counterclockwise decreases it.

NOTE

the focus obtained by fine focusing is lost immediately, the

tension adjustment may be too light. In this case, rotate the

ring clockwise to increase the tension.

· If the tension adjustment is too tight, delicate focusing will

be impossible and the knob may be damaged. Particularly,

to prevent damage, never rotate the fine focus adjustment

knob quickly while its tension is extremely tight.
