VHow to

Use

the Microscope

1. IUumination

What

most important

amicroscopic work

illumination, because the light source and condenser greatly

influence the resolving power

the microscope lenses.

For

microscope illumination, natural daylight

artificial light source is used. Normally

is sufficient

use

natural light coming through awindow. However, in some cases such as photomicrography, aspecially designed

microscope illuminator

used.

When

Usually

the

plane mirror

the

field

When

an illuminator

used

Alow-voltage bulb

used for microscope illumination.

Olympus puts on the market aspecially designed micro-

scope illuminator LSD

(u!:ing

a6V, SA transformer,

optical accessory). When this illumination apparatus

used,

the

beam

light must be adjusted by adjusting the

position

the bulb and

the

plane side

the

mirror should

used. The accessory daylight

mter

(cobalt color)

shoHld be inserted into

the

filter holder.

Centering

When amicroscope illuminator

used, adjust it

that

the

axis

the illuminating system falls in

the

center

the mirror. Next, rack

the

body tube up and down

that

it may be roughly in aposition in which

the

microscope

used for observing

the

specimen.

Remove

the

eyepiece and look through the eyepiece sleeve, and you will see

the

back lens

objective.

Adjust

the

mirror

the

back lens

evenly illuminated.

Similar procedures must

adopted when daylight

used.

3. Change

The magnifying power

changed either

changing the eyepiece or by changing the

objective.

Change

the eyepiece

Eyepieces with different magnifications arc inserted into the eyepiece sleeve to change the magnifying power

the microscope. In this case, the microscope remains roughly

obtain

asharply focused image.

2) Change

When the objective

with alow-power Objective

and

then turn the nosepiece to change to ahigher-power objective.

4. Resolving Power

The

resolving

power

amicroscope

depends

solely on

that

the

objective

and

has

nothing

with

the

eyepiece. The only function

the eyepiece

magnify the image resolved by the objective. This means that

matter

how

much the final magnification may

increased by using ahigh-power eyepiece, you will never

see what is not shown

the image that

formed

the objective. For example, you get the same magnifiC'dtion

800X

using a

40X

objective and a20X eyepiece,

and

also by using aIOOX objective and a

eyepiecc.

However. the latter combination has aresolving power twice higher and show more details than the former

combination.
