The total magnification can be calculated by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece
with the magnification of the objective. The magnifications are displayed in the table below:

Object stage
On the
MT-10
series the slide is placed beneath the object clips. Focusing the specimen is
done by using the coaxial coarse- and fine adjustment knobs (H).
Coarse- and fine adjustment
The coarse- and fine adjustment knobs (H) for the height adjustment of the object stage
are mounted together on one axis (co-axial). On both fine adjustment knobs there is a
graduation with intervals of 0.002 mm. This can be used to measure depths in a specimen.
Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm
Beneath the object stage an Abbe condenser (L) N.A. 12.5 is mounted. The condenser can be
adjusted in height by means of turning or by a handle (polarization models). With this one
can focus the light on the specimen to optimise contrast-resolution ratio. The condenser is
factory pre-centered.
The iris diaphragm with filter holder is mounted beneath the condenser. The light intensity
can be adjusted by changing the flexible opening.
Illumination MT-10 series
In order to have good color rendering against the Michel-Levy chart, the polarization
versions are standard equipped with a halogen illumination.
All other models have a LED illumination
The cable goes to the mains socket at the backside of the microsocpe.
