Best Answer

To effectively use a two eye-piece microscope you must be able to look straight down both barrels at the same time. You cannot change how far your eyes are apart and two people using the equipment are not always likely to have the same inter-pupillary distance.

Microscope manufacturers have therefore made an adjustment system to accommodate inter-pupillary distance, the distance between the pupils of the eyes of each user. Once this is adjusted each eye can look directly down each barrel.
