Well, here goes (see pics).The focusing mechanism consists of a a small axle, on which the plate-like thing moves up and down. The right side of the plate has a pin into the central focusing axle, the left side has a kind of 'hand' (the end of the plate set perpendicular) which fits into a small groove in the shiny ocular tube. Inside this shiny tube is the ocular cluster with four lens elements (2 doublets). The fifth ocular lens is the field lens which doesn't move as it is fixed (threaded) onto the barrel.Renze</blockquote>
