2.5.5
Low-power system for 2.5x/4x
objectives mounted on the
condenser carrier
The low-power system enables full illumination of
the field of view when using a low-magnification
objective (2.5x-4x) in combination with the
condenser 0.9/1.25 H.
It can be centered and remains in the beam path
throughout the use of the corresponding objective.
•
Swing the low-power system (
2
) in or
out of the beam path using the handle
(
1
). Make sure the module locks in
securely.
•
Do not use the low-power system with LED
illumination for transmitted light.
ATTENTION
If the condenser carrier with mounted low-power system is moved too far down, the low-
power system may collide with the field diaphragm and damage it!
2.5.6
0.9/1.25 BF condenser and 0.9 Pol
condenser
The 0.9/1.25 BF condenser (
1
) with
aperture diaphragm (
2
) can be optionally
equipped with a modulator disk (
3
) for:
−
bright-field BF
−
dark-field DF
−
phase contrast PhC 1, PhC 2, PhC 3
−
PlasDIC (optional: To use PlasDIC, the ring
diaphragm must be replaced with a 2 mm or
4.5 mm slit diaphragm for PlasDIC)
ATTENTION
Do not use acetone to clean the lens of the polarizing condensers.
