5.5.2 Setting Up for Reflected Light Darkfield Microscopy Using the KÖHLER Method
For more information about the method, see chapter
Reflected Light Brightfield Microscopy Using
.
Prerequisite
ü
A reflected light light source is
.
ü
In the reflector turret, an ACR P&C reflector module for reflected light is installed.
ü
A suitable objective for RL darkfield microscopy is
EC Epiplan-Neofluar HD, Epiplan HD.
ü
The microscope is operational.
ü
The illumination is adjusted for
reflected light brightfield microscopy [
The field diaphragm image should lie just barely outside of the edge of the field of view to
avoid reflections
Procedure
1. Swing the darkfield ACR P&C reflector module
for reflected light on the reflector turret into
the beam path.
2. Remove the 6x20 mm compensator slider if inserted.
3. Swivel the objective position with the darkfield
HD objective into the beam path.
4. Completely open the aperture diaphragm
A
.
5. Switch off or remove neutral filters if applicable.
6. Place the sample on the stage.
