}A phase contrast objective, phase contrast optical element and the U-CT30 centering telescope (which is not required
when the U-BI90CT binocular observation tube is used) are required for phase contrast observation.
}If a DIC slider, analyzer and/or polarizer are engaged in the light path, disengage them.

}Insert the optical element (small) in the 30 mm position and the optical element (large) in the 38 mm position.
For well observation, it is recommended to use the IX-PHC to obtain the phase contrast effect in a wide range of field of
view.
