4.2.1 Köhler Illumination The HUMASCOPE is equipped with Köhler illumination. In order to get the best image possible form the optical setup of the microscope for brightfield, phase contrast and differential interference contrast, it is crucial that the light path be set up properly.

The HUMASCOPE features coaxial coarse and fine focussing knobs on the left and right side of the instrument. The knobs are located below the stage and are easy to operate (see figure 4.0). The coarse and fine focussing range is 30mm.

9 MICROSCOPE GLOSSARY Darkfield microscopy is a method of acquiring a slide image. It is specific to the way the light is projected onto a slide in the microscope equipped with darkfield condenser. The method allows elements in the field of view to be distinguished that would be invisible or poorly visible using other methods of lighting (such as brightfield or phase contrast light).
Page 14: Lenses
The fluorescence of a substance is seen when a molecule is exposed to a specific wavelength of light (excitation wavelength or spectrum) and the light it emits (the emission wavelength or spectrum) is of a higher wavelength. To view this fluorescence in the microscope, several light-filtering components are needed. Specific filters are needed to isolate the excitation and emission wavelengths of a fluorochrome.
