The Microscope
View by the eyepiece
Keep your distance
Abstand halten
Microscope eyepieces from Carl Zeiss have usually been designed for eyeglass wearers. Therefore, the exit pupil of the eyepiece is at a considerable distance from the eyepiece.

Users who do not wear eyeglasses should also keep this distance to permit the entire light from the microscope to find its way to the iris of the eye. If you slowly move your head to and fro in front of the eyepieces, you will soon find the optimum, relaxed posture allowing you to see the entire circle of the field of view.

If you do not wear eyeglasses, the rubber cups on the eyepieces will be useful to you. They not only protect the eye from ambient light, but also help to keep the correct distance between the eye and the eyepiece.
