The 25mm reticles (83335-Crossline, 83336-Cross Scale, 10mm with 100 divisions, and 83337-Photomask) for the new stereo microscopes are mounted in holders and can only be used with the 83330 10x Eyepieces.  These reticles are mounted in holders.

The following un-mounted 25mm Reticles are available and can also be used with the 83330 10x Eyepieces:

83330	C-10x Widefield Eyepiece	25mm Reticles
83331	C-15x Widefield Eyepiece	19mm Reticles
83332	C-20x Widefield Eyepiece	19mm Reticles
83333	C-30x Widefield Eyepiece	12mm Reticles

To insert a reticle into an eyepiece:

• Unscrew the bottom of the eyepiece

                    

• There is an indentation in the bottom part (reticle holder) of the eypiece large enough to fit the appropriate reticle.  However, you will have to appy an adhesive to prevent it from falling or moving when you replace the bottom of the eyepiece.

• Be sure to use a suitable adhesive that can be dissolved with alcohol such as GE Silicon Rubber, Nejilok or Duco Cement.  Apply a thin layer of adhesive and position the reticle in the idented space as quickly as possible.

• When removing the reticle, use alcohol to dissolve the adhesive and be sure to clean the surface around the reticle with alcohol to remove any remaining adhesive.

Since the reticle holder (bottom) of the 10x and 15x eyepieces (83330 and 83331) are made of plastic and could be damaged by using strong solvents we do not recommend that you use anything but alcohol to remove adhesive.
