Centering the Condenser

1) Bring the objective 10X into the light path.

If a specimen is placed on the circular rotat-

recommended t o hold the peripheries of the

specimen with the stage clips provided.

2) Swing in the condenser top lens, and bring

the specimen into focus.

that a transparent area comes into the

light path. Keeping the polarizer at the

position, rotate the polarizer rotation ring

until the optimum extinction is obtained,

then clamp the ring. (Fig. 12)
