If the specimen is not in focus, turn the diopter ring on the eyepiece tube until a sharp image is obtained. 3.6 Applying the immersion oil 1) Rotate the objective nosepiece to seat the observing position between the 40X and 100X objectives as shown in Fig.
- Page 10 www.microscopenet.com Note: The iris diaphragm is designed to adjust the aperture size, not to adjust the brightness although the brightness will be changed when it's adjusted. When aperture is adjusted to smaller size, the contrast will be increased and the depth of field will be increased as well.

Questions and answers
I have the Model M8311Z Omax microscope with the A1PHC2 condenser kit. As you know, the condenser kit mounts inside a ring on the underside of the microscope. That mounting ring itself on the microscope is held in place by three set screws. On my microscope, these screws are not tight, so when I mount the A1PHC2 condenser kit, it is loose, even though the thumb screw is completely tight. This wobble makes the phase contrast and the dark field modes unusable. How do I stabilize this? It would seem precise alignment is required since the dark field plate is not adjustable, it would seem these set screws would determine the position of the darkfield plate. What do you suggest? How can I get this to work? Thanks, Paul
To stabilize the mounting ring and ensure the A1PHC2 condenser kit is securely attached and functions properly on the Omax M8311Z microscope, follow these steps:
1. Remove the original condenser by loosening the condenser lock thumb screw and taking it off the holder.
2. Insert the A1PHC2 phase contrast condenser into the condenser holder.
3. Tighten the condenser lock thumb screw to secure the condenser in place.
Ensure the correct phase contrast objective (10X, 40X, or 100X) matches the corresponding condenser ring plate for proper function.
