Viewing Head. Monocular, binocular (Seidentopf), or trinocular (Seidentopf) heads rotate 360° and are inclined at 30°. All models feature interpupillary and dioptric adjustment. The trinocular heads feature a sliding main prism (100/100 split) to provide either 100% of the image to the vertical tube, or 100% of the image to the eyepieces.
Nosepiece. Quadruple, reversed, ball-bearing nosepiece with high-grade lubricant and positive stops. The nosepiece is reversed (inward-facing) to allow for easier manipulation of slides and to aid in keeping the objectives clean.
