Abstract
An adjusting device for use with a pair of telescopic oculars allows independent rotation of each ocular to correct vertical misalignment between the lines of sight of the oculars. The oculars are part of an optical mounting assembly that includes a housing in which two slide bars are mounted. The oculars are mounted on the slide bars through bosses and mounting screws. An adjusting set screw is threaded through a hole on each slide bar so that it can push against the boss. By tightening or loosening the set screw, the line of sight of each ocular can be adjusted vertically, so that vertical misalignment between the lines of sight is effectively controlled.
