VIEWING
HEADS
Binocular models, the TC5100,
TC5300 and TC5500, incorporate the MA814 Siedentopf-type
binocular head while the trinocular models, the TC5200,
TC5400 and TC5600 have the MA816/10 Siedentopf-type
trinocular head. The MA816/10 uses an 80/20 beamsplitter
that can be engaged for photo-microscopy. (100% to eyetubes
or 80% to phototube and 20% to the eyetube.) Each microscope
head has the eyetubes inclined at 30 degrees with the
left eyetube having graduated diopter settings. The
interpupillary distance on the viewing heads is adjustable
between 53mm - 75mm. An optional ergonomic binocular
head is also available.
EYEPIECES
10X Super Widefield High Eyepoint eyepieces
are standard and 15X and 20X eyepieces are also available
as an option. A Super Widefield High Eyepoint 10X focusable
eyepiece that accepts standard 25mm reticules is also
available.
