4.1.3 Oblique illumination via condenser
(1) General operating principle
Oblique illumination allows the relief representation of your specimen. This is achieved by a radially
adjustable stop in the condenser which directs light at an angle to the specimen.
(2) Equipment
The equipment of every microscope allows the performance of the oblique illumination procedure.
− HAL 100 halogen lamp for transmitted-light illumination
The following condensers may be used for oblique illumination:
− Condenser 0.8 (424226-9000-000)
− Condenser 0.9 (424226-9010-000)
− Condenser 1.2 (424226-9020-000)
(3) Adjusting oblique illumination
• Switch on transmitted-light illumination.
• Set the condenser modulator disk to the
position for oblique illumination .
• Use the adjusting screw (width A/F 1)
(Figure 4-6/1) at the condenser to turn the
stop's slot segment into the desired position.
The modulator disk is blocked and cannot be
turned as long as the screwdriver is inserted
for setting oblique illumination.
