Condenser Lens Adjustment Knob
The Condenser Lens Adjustment
Knob changes the distance
between the light condenser and
the base lens. This allows you to
control the concentration of the
light hitting your slide.
Darkfield Condenser Lens
A darkfield condenser lens produces bright images against a dark background for low
contrast biological specimens.
With brightfield lenses, a solid
beam of light illuminates the
objective lens. Darkfield condenser
lenses block the center of the
beam of light to produce a hollow
cone of light. Light does not enter
the objective lens directly. The
specimen scatters light, which then
enters the objective lens.
Brightfield Darkfield
Dimmer
Dimmers control the amount of light escaping from the base lens.
