2) If the thickness of the vessel bottom is unknown:
The optimum position for the correction collar can be obtained
from the image resolution. After focusing adjustment, if a satis-
factory sharp image is not obtained, rotate the correction collar
to the right and left so that you can compare the images at both
sides. Reset the collar to the better image; then starting from this
Position, further rotate the collar to the right and left until both
images can be obtained for comparison with each other.
AS YOU
repeat this procedure several times, you have to fine focus each
time the correction collar is rotated.
0 Use of Iris Diaphragms
1) Field iris diaphragm
The field iris diaphragm controls the diameter of the ray bundle
impinging on the specimen surface and thus increases image defini-
tion and reduces glare.
2) Aperture iris diaphragm
In order to achieve optimum objective performance in brightfield,
the opening of the aperture iris diaphragm should be matched to
the N.A. of the objective in use. It is often preferable, however, to
stop down the aperture diaphragm by about 70% to 80% of the
objective N.A. (Fig. 37)
