Modulation Contrast (Namc) Microscopy - Nikon ECLIPSE TS100 Instructions Manual

Modulation Contrast (NAMC) Microscopy

1-2
In order to perform NAMC microscopy, the following items are required: an NAMC condenser,
objectives for NAMC, an NAMC slider (with slit diaphragms), and a centering telescope.
Before proceeding to the following operations, perform steps 1 to 6 in "1 Microscopy".
1
Attach the NAMC condenser.
Attach the NAMC condenser to the illumination pillar.
2
Attach the NAMC slider.
Insert the NAMC slider into the condenser.
(Attach the slit diaphragm to the NAMC slider in advance if the slit diaphragms are removed
from the slider. See P.36 for details.)
3
Fully open the aperture diaphragm.
Move the aperture diaphragm lever on the condenser to the rightmost to fully open the aperture.
Always fully open the aperture diaphragm for NAMC microscopy. If the aperture diaphragm is
closed, it will obstruct the slit diaphragm and the proper image cannot be obtained.
Remove all unwanted filters.
