2 Press the RECALL switch.
The offset lens automatically moves to the
registered offset position.
Manual operation with the focus knobs will be
disabled during the restoration of the offset.
If an offset is not registered (MEMORY switch is
not lit), the RECALL switch will restore the
objective to the zero offset position (initial
position).
Note that the focus position may not match the
boundary surface exactly, depending on the
thickness and material of the cover glass, as well
as on other environment variables.
