Phase Contrast
adjusting knobs are
found on both sides
of the scope.***
*** IMPORTANT NOTE
These knobs are essentially screw drivers on a spring. If
you were in the PH1, PH2, or PH3 mode on the condenser and pressed in on these
knobs and then rotated them, you would move the pre-adjusted phase annulus of
the condenser and push it out of adjustment.
DO NOT
do that unless you know what
you are doing and have a phase centering telescope and can put the annulus back
where it belongs. See the manual and review videos on-line for reference.
The phase contrast adjustments were pre-set for the phase objectives on your
microscope prior to shipping and once set about the only way they can be un-set is
to inadvertently or directly push in and rotate these knobs. Ergo,
DO NOT
push in
and rotate or fiddle with these knobs because you could put your phase imaging and
clarity out of whack.
