Eyepiece micrometer disks can be inserted into the WHN10X-H (or
WHN10X) eyepieces.
Use 24 mm dia. x 1.5 mm micrometer disks.
Following Fig. 24, turn the built-in micrometer mounting frame ² counter-
clockwise to remove it from the eyepiece and place a micrometer disk @
into the mounting frame so that the surface with the model indication
faces downward.
Re-attach the micrometer mounting frame in the original position.

Turret
Indication
Application
O (2 positions) Nothing is engaged in the light path (Normal observation)
CT
The CT (Centering Telescope) lens is engaged in the light
path and the objective exit pupil can be observed.
Used when centering the ring slit in phase contrast ob-
servation or adjusting the aperture iris diaphragm.
S
Shield plate is engaged in the light path to block extraneous
light from entering through the eyepieces. Used in photomicro-
graphy to prevent extraneous light from affecting the exposure.
2. To bring the exit pupil image of the objective into focus when using the
CT lens, rotate the focus ring ² to adjust.
