Subject: [Leica] how do you use the "Micromega" Critical focuser
From: rbrowne1 at mindspring.com (Robert Browne)

Before proceeding with the excellent advice already given below, you 
will need to adjust the focus of the Micromega for your vision. While 
looking through the focuser, turn the collar of the adjustable eyepiece 
until the circle in the center of the viewing area is sharp. Now you 
are all set to proceed with focusing your negative with the enlarger 
focusing mechanism.

Stay sharp,

Robert
