THTLENSTS

Before attaching the objective

and the

eyepieceto the microscope,

clean the

outer lenssurfaces.

Even a light finger

mark may often interfere with image

contrast.

(1) Mounting

the

Objectives

Take special care when handling the

objectives.

Beforeattaching

theobjectives

to the nosepiecerevolver, lower the

microscope

stage sufficiently. Securing

each objective with the fingers

of one

hand, screw it into eachnosepiece

hole

with thoseof the other hand (Fig.

below the indication

(2)Mounting

the

Eyepieces

For mounting,simply

put theeyepiece

into theeyepiecetube.lt is

recommend-

edthattheeyepiecebeleft inplace

even

whennot in use

in orderto prevent

the

entrance

of dust into theeyepiecetube.

Or insert

theeyepiececap

inplace

of the

removed

eyepiece.The inclined

eyepiece

tube,

trinocular,binocular

gr monocular,

canbe rotated

after

looseningtheclamp

screw,

for convenience

in viewing

from

anvdesired

direction

withoutmoving

the

microscopestand.By further releasing

the clamp screw (Fig. 5) the eyepiece

tube canbe removed

and replaced

with

another

type.

(3)Mountingthe

Gondenser

To mountthecondenser,

loosenthe

lock

Then,tighten

LightSource

As already

discussed,

the irisdiaphragm

plays

an important

role

in illumination

for microscopy.

In principle,

the dia-

phragm

should

be so adjusted

that the

numericalaperture

of the condenser

equal

to thatof theobjectivebeing

used,

in order

to obtain

maximum

resolution.

ln practice,

however,

keeping

out stray

light

whlch

would

reduceimagecontrast

by closing

theaperture

of the

condenser

down to 60-700/o

of thatof theobjective

will bringabout good resultsin most

cases.

Thecoincidence

of condenser

dia-

phragm

aperture

with theaperture

(exit

pupil)

of theobjective

canbeascertained

by lookingdown the microscopetube

after

removingtheeyepieceand

closing

the diaphragm

slowly.

An experienced

user,

however,

may dispense

with this

procedure,

andobtain

thesame

resultby

adjusting

the diaphragm

opening

until

The

and

atthe

time

This

manipulation

canbe

doneby only

using

one hand,the thumb and first

finger

for decentering

and the middle

fingerfor opening

or closing

the dia-

phragm.

for

(4)Brightness

Adjustment

Theconventional

method

ofadiusting

the

brightness

of the microscope

lamphas

been by a rheostat or transformer,

whereby the voltage

or amPerage

Either method,however,

is disadvan-

tageous

in thattheformer

produces

heat

and the latter,

due to its largesize,

presents

difficulty

in mounting

it inthe

microscope

base.

Modern,advanced

semi-conductor

tech-

nologyhas

provided

a facility

forchang-

ingthe flow time of electric

means.A

so-called

thyristor

ofextremely

small

size

hasbeen

developed

to enable

regulation

of the

brightness

of the
