Please note that when the specimen leaves the focus plane after focusing or the stage declines itself, the tension should be set higher. -
Page 9: The Correct Eye Point
Using a binocular (or trinocular) tube is less tiring for the eyes than the use of a monocular tube. In order to obtain a smooth “compound” image, one should go through the below steps. The correct interpupillary distance is reached when one round image is seen in the field of view (see image below). -

the specimen by which the contrast can be optimized. The condenser is factory pre-centered. If needed the following procedure can be followed to center the condensor. 1. Move the condenser to the highest position. 2. Select the 10x objective to the light path and focus the specimen. 3. -

2. Focus the image with the S40x objective. 3. Turn the revolving nosepiece so the S100x objective almost reaches the click-stop. 4. Put a small drop of immersion oil on the centre of the slide (always use Euromex Immersion oil). -
Page 12: Phase Contrast
Phase contrast Use of phase contrast with the iScope microscope The phase contrast method was designed in 1934 by the Dutchman Frits Zernike to observe very thin or transparent objects. This technique uses the fact that light travelling through tissue undergoes a phase shift due to diffraction. -
Page 13: Using The Zernike Phase Contrast Set
Using the Zernike phase contrast set. Any iScope model with a Zernike phase contrast set comes with the condensor and objectives already mounted and centered on your microscope. If you suspect misalignment or want to check the alignment please see the next point for ”centering the phase rings”. The height of condenser can be adjusted in height by means of a rack and pinion movement. -
