8.1.5 Differential Interference Contrast (TL)

(only for DM5000 B)

•Switch to the transmitted light axis (TL) by pushing the TL/IL button.

•Insert a specimen and rotate a suitable objec- tive into place.

•Select the DIC contrast method.

Do so by pressing the DIC variable key. Alternatively: Press the CHANGE TL  variable key.

(For key occupation please see “Identification Sheet”.)

The display indicates ICT.

•The polarizer located in the condenser and the fitting condenser prism are automatically brought into the light path. The corresponding objective prism and the analyzer cube are also positioned automatically.

•For fine adjustment use the knurled ring above the objective nose piece (Fig. 68).

Alternatively:

•Manually rotate the polarizer on the underside of the condenser into the light path (Fig. 66).

•Likewise, manually insert the analyzer into the left side of the stand (Fig. 67).

Objective and coindenser prisms are automatically moved into the light path as well.

•Fine adjustment is possible using the knurled ring above the objective nosepiece.
