Condenser UCA/P*

•Unscrew the fastening screw of the disk. This is found on the underside of the condenser and must be fully screwed out

•Turn back the centering screws until the light rings, λ - and λ/4 - compensator* and lens* 2.5x can be inserted;

the largest hole is for brightfield observation (= BF), the slightly smaller ones are light rings*, λ - and λ/4 - compensator* or lens* 2.5x.

Notes:

If you use a smaller hole for brightfield, the maximum illumination aperture cannot be used.

The lettering (e.g. DF, PH 1 ....., λ) must point

upward, the λ or λ/4 compensators must be inserted with the correct orientation: The notch must point toward the center of the disk! The lettering of the components should correspond to the marking at the opposite position (outer edge of the disk).
