}When the click stop knob is set to ON, the click stop function is en-

gaged for each magnification indicated with the zooming knob. When

the knob is set to OFF, the zoom magnification can be varied continu-

ously and finely near the click groove.

The click stop knob has been set to OFF before the microscope is

shipped from the factory.

}A click stop is provided for each of the 9 intermediate indication posi-

tions between 0.63X and 6.3X of the zoom microscope body.

1. To engage the click stop function, rotate the click stop ON-OFF screw @

fully clockwise (in the direction of the arrow) using the Allen screwdriver.

The zooming knob then stops at every position corresponding to the

magnification indicated on the zoom magnification indication ².

2. To disengage the click stop function, rotate the click stop ON-OFF screw

@ fully by three turns from the ON position, in the direction opposite to

the arrow, using the Allen screwdriver.

#Do not rotate the screw too much, or the cover may be damaged.

}Adjusting the aperture iris diaphragm increases the contrast of the ob-

served image as well as the depth of focus.

However, setting the aperture iris diaphragm too narrowly degrades reso-

lution.

1. Adjust the aperture iris diaphragm ring @ to the left or right.

Rotating the ring toward the left (\) opens the aperture; rotating it to-

ward the right ( ) closes it. Adjust while monitoring the observed image

to confirm the contrast and focal depth improvement effects.

#Do not close the aperture too much, for this may cause degradation

in resolution and/or lack of ambient light.

2. Use the scale gradations as references for memorizing the ring position.

#When the microscope is combined with the coaxial vertical illumina-

tor (SZX2-ILLC10), minimizing the aperture may obscure a part of the

observed field of view. In this case, open the aperture to an interme-

diate position.

The body zoom magnification is indicated on the zooming knob on the

right side.

The total magnification of observation can be calculated with the follow-

ing formula:
