2.6.3 Condensers
To allow a quick condenser change, all the
condensers come with a special connection plate
for bayonet mounting.
The condenser can be rotated in its mount in 90-
degree steps (after the bayonet mount has been
loosened and subsequently tightened). (See
Section 3.1.7.)
LD Condensers 0.3 and 0.4 for Sliders
− Condenser equipped with an adjustable
aperture diaphragm (Fig. 2-17/4) for sliders
with fixed phase stop Ph1/0.3 (Fig. 2-17/1) or
Ph1/0.4; slider Ph/PlasDIC, H, Ph/PlasDIC
(Fig. 2-17/2) or slider Ph/PlasDIC, H, Var
(Fig. 2-17/3)
− The sliders can be inserted from the right or
left (or from the front or the back).
− The center position of the slider is provided
with a neutral density or attenuation filter to
guard against glare.
− Depending on the type of slider employed,
the condenser can be utilized for the bright
field, phase contrast, PlasDIC or VAREL
methods.
Ph/PlasDIC, H,
Var slider is suitable for
condenser 0.4 only.
LD Condenser 0.4 H Ph PlasDIC DIC iHMC
− Condenser with an adjustable aperture
diaphragm (Fig. 2-18/1) for the bright field
position (position 1 of the modulator disk,
while the aperture diaphragm is completely
open for all the other positions of the
modulator disk)
− Five-position modulator disk (Fig. 2-18/3)
and slot for polarizer slider (Fig. 2-18/2)
− Depending on the phase stops or slit
diaphragms or the condenser modules
employed, the condenser can be utilized for
the bright field, phase contrast, DIC, PlasDIC
or iHMC methods.
− Spaces for stickers (Fig. 2-18/4) showing the
designations of the slit diaphragms, phase
stops or condenser modules installed
