Notes on Usage
•
The name of the condenser lens used in combination with the NAMC module is shown on the top of the module. Use NAMC
or LWD condenser lens. If you use a condenser lens other than the one indicated on the NAMC module being used, the
modulation contrast effect cannot be obtained.
•
NAMC module and NAMC objectives are to be used in specific pairs. Always make sure that the NAMC module and NAMC
objective have the same “NAMC code” (NAMC1, NAMC2 or NAMC3). The correct image will not be obtained if the NAMC
codes are different.
•
NAMC module is equipped with optical elements made of resin. To clean the NAMC module covered with dust or the like,
lightly blow it off with an air blower. Do not use lens cleaning tissue that could damage the optical elements. Also, avoid using
solvents that may damage the optical elements. Make sure to keep any dirt from coming into contact with the optical
elements during assembly, and especially never to touch them with bare hands.
