PHASE CONTRAST OBSERVATION
The following three units are available for phase contrast observation. Mount a slider onto the microscope and replace the
objectives with phase-contrast-compatible objectives.
Model name Description Compatible objectives
Ph precentering slider
CK40-SLP
· The light annuli are precentered, so no adjust-
ment is required. (For 4X, for 10X/20X/40X &
empty)
· The empty opening can be used as a filter holder.
SPlan4XPL-6
DAch10XPL-6

RS40 light annulus for the 40X objective or can
be used as a filter holder.

#During relief phase contrast observation using the RP slider, part of the field of view may get dark when the lamp
voltage is lowered. This happens because the viewing field´s brightness is affected by fluorescent light from the
ceiling. Should this happen, turn off the room light or raise the lamp voltage of the unit. When a 10X objective is used,
the edges of the field of view may become dark.
