Focusing on the Sample
Focus adjustment of the sample is performed by the rotation of the focus knobs on the focus unit or focus mount. When the
remote controller or foot switch is connected, focusing can be adjusted using the focus knobs of the remote controller or the
foot pedals on the left side of the foot switch. To use the foot switch, the P2-RC Remote Controller or the P2-CTLA Control
Box must be connected.

Notes on turning the focus knobs
• When using the focus knobs of the focus unit, focus mount or
the remote controller, do not turn (or twist) the right and left
focus knobs in opposite directions at the same time. Doing so
may cause malfunction.
• When the focus knobs of the focus unit or focus mount reach
their rotational limits for the unit’s vertical movement, do not
forcibly turn it further. Doing so may cause malfunction.
