Switching Objectives (Using a Nosepiece)
Turn the nosepiece to switch objectives. Check that the
nosepiece stops at a click position when turned. There are two
types of nosepieces: a standard type and a type with the status
detection function. For details, see Chapter 4, “3 Nosepieces.” Fo
details on the attachable objectives, see Chapter 4, “4
Objectives.”
Stereoscopic view and vertical view
A nosepiece has two click positions for each objective.
The view state can be changed between stereoscopic view
and vertical view according to the click position. Microscopy
can be performed in the vertical position when needed, such
as when taking images of the sample.
The click position that an objective is in can be checked by
viewing the position of the objective from the front.
