The analytical reading is made through the eyepiece by bringing the shadowline onto the crosshairs. Its digital display reports prism temperature; it does not make the refractive-index reading an automatic digital result. A focusable eyepiece and dispersion-adjustment control help the operator form a clear boundary before reading the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;align-items:center;gap:28px;margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 280px;min-width:0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:Open Sans,sans-serif;font-size:18px;line-height:1.4;font-weight:600;color:#245B45;margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003ePrepare the prism contact for the sample type\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7;\"\u003eThe manual uses distilled water for liquid calibration and provides a separate procedure for checking with the supplied glass standard.
