Leica DM500 B Manuel D’Utilisation

1.  Adjust the eyetubes for your interpupillary 

distance.  Fold or unfold the eyetubes to 
decrease or increase the distance between 
the eyepieces until you see one illuminated 
circle. 

    

 

The viewing tubes maintain a constant 
tube length for all interpupillary settings. 

This means that a change of interpupillary 
distance does not affect parfocality, magnifica-
tion, or calibrations that depend on magnifica-
tion. 

If you are using a Leica EZ viewing tube, which 
already has the eyepieces integrated with 
the eyetubes, there are no additional adjust-
ments necessary. Be sure you are wearing your 
eyeglasses or contact lenses. Go on to section 
"Oil Immersion" on page 32.

If you are using a standard viewing tube with 
two fixed eyepieces (no focusing eyepieces), 
there are no additional adjustments neces-
sary. Be sure you are wearing your eyeglasses 
or contact lenses. Go on to section "Oil Immer-
sion" on page 32.

If you are using a standard viewing tube with 
one or two focusing eyepieces, you need to 
make some adjustments:

1.  Set the focusing eyepieces to the "0" diopter 

setting.
