Transmitted Light Option Operations

The ImageXpress
contrast transmitted-light imaging. In general terms, transmitted light is
used to describe microscopy in which light is transmitted from a source
on one side of the specimen, with the objective on the other side.
Typically the light is first passed through a condenser so high illumination
is focused on the specimen. For more information on phase contrast
microscopy, visit the Nikon website:

The ImageXpress Transmitted Light option can be installed with or
without the Environment Control option. It is not compatible with the
Fluidics option.
