The condenser with Köhler illumination ensures a uniform illumination of the
sample during transmitted light analyses. You can adjust the contrast of the
illumination according to your preferences. The following is only a guide, the exact
settings depend on your preferences.
¢
The area of the sample in the field of view has high contrast
¢

sample
Select the lowest magnification and bring the area of interest into focus.
