best possible stereopsis and image quality for any pupil size by simultaneous
adjustment of the observation and illumination beams. For a dilated pupil,
move the control (11) underneath the instrument to the large circle position.
For a small pupil, move the control to the small circle position. The control (11)
can be positioned anywhere between these two settings to select the optimum
parallax and stereopsis (convergence) for any pupil size. The illumination beam
can be adjusted vertically by the control (9).
