3 Simplified Transmitted Light Observation
(Fig. 34)
1. Illuminate the specimen with an external light source (LSD illuminator,
light guide illuminator, etc.).
Light the external light source as shown in the figure on the left and
irradiate the mirror assembly.
2. Eliminate irregularities in illumination.
1) Align the microscope body center with the center of the SZX-STAD2.
2) Set the zooming knob on the microscope body to the minimum mag-
nification and focus the stage top surface.
3) While observing through the eyepiece, rotate the mirror knob to adjust
the mirror angle so that the entire field of view is illuminated uniformly.
}When observing using an oblique illuminator, remove the frosted filter
and while observing through the eyepiece, tilt the mirror gradually until
optimum contrast can be obtained.
4 Caution
# Do not project the image of the external light source filament on the frosted surface of the frosted filter. Otherwise
the frosted filter may deteriorate.
# Use neutral detergent to clean the frosted filter.
# In transmitted light observation at a total magnification of no more than 10X, the field of view may be obscured in
the peripheral sections depending on the stage in use.
9-7 Stage Adapter Type 1 SZH-STAD1
This adapter has the same function as the SZX-STAD1 BX stage adapter type 1, but the usable stages with this adapter are
the BH2-SH horizontal knob stage and the BH2-SRG rotary stage.
The assembly and polarizer installation procedures for this adapter are identical to those for the SZX-STAD1. Refer to the
SZX-STAD1 description for related information (page 25).
