Transmitted Light iHMC
iHMC (improved Hoffman modulation contrast) is an optimized version of the HMC contrast technique.
It produces a relief image of the specimen viewed. Much like PlasDIC, this type of contrast has
established itself as the standard in the IVF (in-vitro fertilization) area, in particular.
Requirements
−
The microscope must have properly been put into operation, as described in Section 3.
−
The microscope must be switched on.
−
Condenser 0.4 with modulator disk and built-in iHMC modules (1, 2 or 3)
−
Polarizer slider D 10 mm x 46 mm, rotatable 90 degrees
−
Objective for iHMC
−
Auxiliary microscope
Aligning the iHMC Module in the Condenser
•
Rotate in the condenser (Fig. 4-9/
5
) in such a way that its change position (Fig. 4-9/
4
) is located on the
right-hand side of the transmitted light illumination carrier (Fig. 4-9/
1
). For this purpose, turn the
clamping ring on the condenser to the left, lift it briefly and then rotate the condenser 90 degrees to
the right until it locks into position.
•
Rotate the iHMC position of the condenser into the change position (Fig. 4-9/
4
).
