Using Episcopic Illumination

The microscope system enables episcopic illumination when
used with the devices listed below. All of these devices use LEDs
as the light source and provide uniform illumination.
Illumination emitted from the light source is passed through the
objective or directly onto the sample by the fiber and the image
created by the light reflected by the sample is observed.
Episcopic illumination is used for observing samples which do not
transmit light such as metal and mineral sections.
In addition, if a P-CI Coaxial Epi Illuminator is attached,
illumination can be emitted along the optical axis, and this gives
good results when observing samples such as metallic mirrors,
resins with smooth surfaces, and semiconductor wafers.
See Chapter 4, "10 Episcopic Illuminators" and select the
appropriate device based on the objective of the microscopy to be
performed.
