COLOR FILTERS:

The color filter can strengthen image 

contrast. Pull the color filter slider (1) 

to the left or right and insert the filter 

(2) into the slot, then slide the slider 

into the light path. There are 4 types 

of filter options: blue, green, yellow, 

and LBD.

FIELD DIAPHRAGM:

By limiting the diameter of the light 

entering the condenser, the field 

diaphragm can improve image 

contrast. When the image is right 

on the edge of the field of view, the 

objective lens will obtain the clearest 

image. Pull the field diaphragm 

adjustment lever (1) out all the way 

to minimize the field diaphragm. You 

will be able to see it when looking 

through the eyepieces. Adjust the 

two field diaphragm centering screws 

(2) until the image is in the center. 

(See example at right). Open the field 

diaphragm gradually until the image 

is inscribed in the center of the field 

of view and the diaphragm is just 

outside the edge of the image.
