Nosepiece centering

1. After centering the stage with the 10X objective,
return the recognizable detail used for centering
to the centre of the crosshair.
2. Rotate the revolver by inserting all the other
objectives in the optical path and check that the
detail is always in the centre of the crosshair.
3. If this is not the case, use the centering screws on
the ① nosepiece to ensure that all the objectives
are perfectly centered in relation to the optical
axis. (Fig. 32)
