- Select a 10x objective and DIC .3-.4 condenser position by rotating manually the
condenser wheel
- Focus on the specimen
- Close luminous field diaphragm until its edges can
be seen through oculars (Fig. 6, a wheel in front of
the top part of the condenser).
- Focus the image of diaphragm edges by moving
the condenser up or down (Fig. 6, arrow 2).
- Use centering screws to move the diaphragm
image to the center of the field of view (Fig. 6,
arrows 3).
- Open the luminous field diaphragm until its edges
are outside the field of view (Fig. 6, arrow 1).
- Remove one ocular by pulling it out and close the
aperture diaphragm until it is about 80% of the
diameter of the objective pupil. The aperture
diaphragm is adjusted by moving left/right the black level above the condenser
position window in the front of the condenser.
When adjusting Koehler illumination for other objectives, it is sufficient just to adjust
the luminous field diaphragm and the aperture diaphragm without taking out the
ocular.
2.4.2 Phase-contrast imaging
Check that is objective is suitable for phase-contrast imaging. Rotate the condenser so that
the matching condenser position (Ph1 or Ph2) is shown in the front (Fig. 5).
2.4.3 DIC imaging
Turn the polarizer into to the light path (Fig. 9). The polarizer is a round filter above the
condenser.
