Operation 

Setting up the illumination: 

For optimal contrast and resolution one should follow the procedure below: 

A. 

Place a specimen on the object stage and focus, using the 4x objective, with a fully opened iris diaphragm 

B. 

Turn light intensity to lowest position, then look through the eyepiece(s) and turn up to the comfortable light 
intensity level 

C. 

Turn the condenser in the highest position 

D. 

Close the iris diaphragm, until it is just visible on the edge of the field of view

The microscope is properly set for use with the 4x objective. For each other magnification in bright field use, this 
procedure should be repeated to ensure the best balance between contrast and resolution
