Illumination
To get the sharpest and best views, the illumination (lighting) will have to be
adjusted.
1. The bottom illuminator is used for
specimen slides which shine up
through the hole in the stage through
the slide. The illuminator is turned
on by a switch dial shown in Figure 4.
2. The light from the bottom illuminator
can be increased or decreased by
moving the illuminator dial. You will
have to experiment to provide the
best lighting for the best views.
3. To get the illumination necessary for objects you will have to use a bright
desk (or similar) lamp that focuses the light directly on the object. You will
have to experiment to get the best light for your needs.
