With transmitted light differential interference observation
using an immersion objective, set the microscope’s field
diaphragm so that it circumscribes the field of view. Otherwise
the contrast may degrade. (This applies to both direct
observation and laser differential interference observation.)
(5) Filters
These filters are used to adjust transmitted light.
x
Be sure to disengage any filter from the light path for transmitted observation
using laser. Leaving a filter engaged in the light path will degrade the image
quality.
(6) Universal condenser U-UCDB
Used for transmitted lighting. In addition, the rotary turret for the transmitted light
DIC slider and the polarizing plate for differential interference observation
(polarizer) are also provided.
x
To perform differential interference observation, engage the transmitted light
DIC slider (optional) matching the objective in use in the light path. (For both
direct observation and laser differential interference observation)
x
To perform direct differential interference observation or laser differential
interference observation, engage the polarizing plate in the light path.
(7) TV adapter light path selector (Combination with FVX-LVT)
Select the light path between laser microscopic observation and TV/photography
observation.
x
Set to the pushed-in position for TV or photography observation.
x
Set to the pulled-out position for laser microscopic observation.
(8) Hand switch for transmitted / reflected light U-HSTR
Switch objective and cube.
