FOCUSING The eyepieces can be focused by placing the focusing rod in the hole where the lamp and microscope arms rotate. With the focusing rod in place, adjust the beam width to give a narrow parallelepiped. The beam should be in center of your field of view. If it is not be sure the light tower rotation is in the click position, center knob at bottom of light tower near beam width control. Looking through the eyepieces (one at a time) rotate the eyepiece counter-clockwise until the beam is blurred then clockwise until it just comes into focus. Remove the focusing rod and you are ready to examine the patient.
