INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION
Carl Zeiss Operation and Functional Elements of Optional Components Axio Vert.A1
38 431030-7044-001 05/2012
LD Condenser 0.55 H Ph PlasDIC DIC
− Condenser with an adjustable aperture
diaphragm (Fig. 2-19/1) for the bright field
position (position 1 of the modulator disk;
the aperture diaphragm is completely open
for all the other positions of the modulator
disk)
− Five-position modulator disk (Fig. 2-19/2)
and height adjustment to focus / adapt
illumination (Fig. 2-19/3); height adjustment
lift: approx. 9 mm
− Turning the height adjustment clockwise
optimizes the condenser for high specimen
levels, while rotating it counterclockwise
optimizes the condenser for low specimen
levels. Correct adjustment is best found if
you check intensity and homogeneity over
the camera field with the help of an imaging
software, such as AxioVision. Be sure to
choose the condenser setting that produces
the highest illumination intensity.
− Depending on the phase stop or slit
diaphragm or the condenser modules
employed, the condenser can be utilized for
bright field, phase contrast, DIC contrast or
PlasDIC contrast.
