If the height of the dark-field condenser is set
correctly and sensitively, it is possible to reduce
any brightening in the field of view left, and the
luminous-field diaphragm image appears almost

diaphragm to the size of the field of view.
Dark field microscopy requires specimens to be considerably cleaner than in other techniques.
Fingerprints, dirt or dust particles, in particular, have negative effects, since they brighten the
background of the field of view and decrease the contrast of the object image.
