7.11 Attaching a Condenser
This section describes the procedures for mounting condenser modules, a condenser, and a condenser lens.
Components to be attached for each microscopy
Performing NAMC with DIC microscopy:
•
Use a polarizer, a condenser module (slit diaphragm), and an objective that support NAMC.
•
Attach an NAMC objective for and an NAMC condenser module, both of which must have the same
NAMC code.
Performing IMSI with DIC microscopy:
•
Use a polarizer, an analyzer, a condenser module, an objective, and a DIC slider that support IMSI.
•
Attach an IMSI objective and an IMSI condenser module, both of which must have the same IMSI
code.
Performing a Ph Microscopy:
•
Use an objective suitable for Ph microscopy and a condenser module for Ph microscopy suitable for
the condenser used.
7.11.1 Preparation for Attaching a Condenser
1.
Loosen the condenser clamp screw (hex
socket head cap screw) on the right side of
the condenser holder using a hexagonal
screwdriver.
(Tool: 2 mm hexagonal screwdriver, supplied with
the microscope main body)
Condenser holder
2.
Attach a condenser or a condenser turret to
the condenser mount.
