Page 5: Important Terminology
IRIS DIAPHRAGM – a multi-leaf round shaped device which is controlled by a lever. It is similar to a camera shutter, and is installed under the condenser. By moving the lever back and forth, the iris diaphragm opens and closes, increasing and decreasing the contrast of the specimen. If the image is “washed out”... - Page 6 magnification and convert the image into a field of view easily seen by the human eye. COVER GLASS – thin glass cut in circles, rectangles, or squares, for covering the specimen (usually a thickness of 0.15 to 0.17mm). The majority of specimens should be protected by a cover glass, and must be covered when using 40XRD or 100XRD objectives.
- Page 7 WORKING DISTANCE – the distance from the lens of the objective to the cover slip on the slide, when the specimen is in focus. USING THE SWIFT M10D SERIES MICROSCOPE Once you have learned the terminology and purpose of each component of the microscope, use of the microscope is simple.

- Page 11 Aligning the Multi Phase System: As mentioned at the beginning of these instructions, this system has been calibrated by Swift technicians at the factory before shipment. This calibration consists of centering the condenser holder and aligning the annuli. These annuli, also called annular stops, are inside the condenser and are specific for each of the phase magnifications.
- Page 12 Alignment of the Phase Annulus: To align each annulus, begin by removing the eyepiece from the eyepiece tube that does not have the diopter adjustment (the right eyepiece). (Please note: Should the eyepiece be locked onto the microscope, use a jeweler’s screwdriver to loosen the eyepiece set screw to enable you to remove the eyepiece).
- Page 13 Place the 2 alignment tools (1.5mm allen wrenches) into the condenser on both sides as shown: Turn the adjustment tools carefully and gently (both directions) to manipulate the rings into correct alignment. Important: do not force the adjustment wrenches. Avoid turning the adjustment all the way to one side Please note: when the condenser disc is in the BF or DF position, no adjustments can be made...
