It resembles a pair of prism binoculars, arranged on a
stand as shown in the illustration, each tube being
rotated on its axis, permitting an adjustment of the
interpupillary distance of the observer's eyes. The
prism bodies are equipped with eyepieces which slide
into tubular mounts, allowing one to correct any differences
of vision between the observer's eyes.
The instrument permits a magnification from 3.5
to 30 diameters, which is claimed sufficient for practically
all calibrations and control work on finished
or semi-finished products. The working distance from
the objectives' prism body to the specimen varies up
to 6 in. and is dependent upon the magnification used.
One can readily cover an object up to 2 in. in diameter
with low-powered eyepieces whereas, using the higher
eye-pieces, the field of view is slightly decreased but
is considerably larger.
