Which type of screw used for plate level centered?
Focusing screw
Foot screw
Tangent screw
Clip screw
Foot screw
Foot screws (also known as leveling screws) are used to level the theodolite by manipulating the plate levels ┬╖ By adjusting these screws, the vertical axis of the instrument is brought to a perfectly vertical position, ensuring the horizontal plate is truly horizontal.

╬Ф╬╕=LsтАЛ тАФ relationship between bubble shift and tilt angle
The theodolite is leveled by adjusting the three foot screws in pairs ┬╖ By turning a pair of screws in opposite directions (both inwards or both outwards), the tilt of the tribrach is modified, shifting the bubble in the circular or tubular plate level until it reaches the center mark.
Foot screws provide precise control over the tilt of the instrument head.
The theodolite must be leveled before any horizontal or vertical angle measurement can be taken.
For a 3-screw leveling head, moving two screws in opposite directions causes the bubble to move along the line joining the two screws.
Allows fine adjustment of the instrument tilt.
Provides a stable base for accurate angular observations.
Requires manual skill to achieve perfect centering.
Time-consuming if the tripod is not set up on relatively level ground.
Theodolite leveling.
Total Station setup.
Dumpy Level tripod head adjustment.
Focusing screw: Used to bring the object into clear focus within the eyepiece field.
Tangent screw: Used for slow, precise rotation of the instrument about its vertical or horizontal axis.
Clip screw: Used for clamping or releasing the horizontal or vertical circular plates.
B is correct тАФ The foot screws are specifically designed to adjust the tilt of the tribrach to bring the plate levels to the center.
Always ensure the tripod legs are roughly leveled first to minimize the adjustment travel required by the foot screws during precision work.
