2-1 Illumination
To get the sharpest and best views, the proper illumination (lighting) must be chosen.
1. To turn the illuminator(s) on, see Figure 2.1 below which shows the following four
positions on the Illuminator Switch --- OFF, I (Bottom Illuminator), II (Top Illuminator),
and III (Both Bottom & Top Illuminators).
2. The top illuminator (I) is used for specimen slides where the light shines up through the
hole in the stage through the slide.
3. The bottom illuminator (II) is normally for solid objects (not specimen slides) so light
shine down onto the object. The top illuminator was designed to be used at low power
(4 x objectives) as higher power objective lenses (10x & 40x) will block the light. If you
need to use high power to observe solid objects, use a secondary light (desk lamp, etc.)
for Illumination.
