Leica TL RCI™: Relief Images (cont'd.)

Dynamic relief contrast

Suitable for semitransparent and transparent specimens.

By tilting the deflection mirror slightly, you can move the gaps over the entire field of view and quickly toggle between positive and negative relief images. The dynamic effect makes it easy to distinguish phase structures from amplitude structures.

Constraints

The relief methods provide good results from mid-zoom to high magnifications and with 1×, 1.6× and 2× objectives. In the lower zoom half and with weaker specimens, the object field may not be uniformly illuminated.

We recommend using the transmitted-light base with 1× or higher objectives, and not objectives with a long focal length.
