3-5 Aperture Diaphragm 3-5 Aperture Diaphragm 1. 1. The aperture diaphragm decides the numerical aperture of the illumination system. Only when the N.A. of illumination system is matching with the N.A. of the objective, it can obtain better resolution and contrast, and also increase the depth of field. -

5. REFERENCE 5. REFERENCE Glossary of Microscopy Terms Glossary of Microscopy Terms Abbe Condenser: Abbe Condenser: A simple condenser comprised of two lenses; corrects for chromatic aberration. Aberration: Aberration: Term used to describe any inaccuracy in focusing of light; derived from physical limitations of lenses and optics. - Page 13 Glossary of Microscopy Terms Glossary of Microscopy Terms Eyepiece: Eyepiece: The optical component that provides the second step in magnification. Eyepoint: Eyepoint: The back focal plane of the eyepiece; the location at which the cornea of the eye is placed so that the information from the microscope can be imaged on the retina of your eye.
- Page 14 Glossary of Microscopy Terms Glossary of Microscopy Terms High Eyepoint: High Eyepoint: A design characteristic of eyepieces in which the back focal plane of the eyepiece is raised about 18 mm above the top of the eyepiece to accommodate microscopists who wear glasses. Illumination, Axial: Illumination, Axial: A contrast-enhancement technique for improving edge contrast.
- Page 15 Glossary of Microscopy Terms Glossary of Microscopy Terms Koehler Illumination: Koehler Illumination: An approach to microscope alignment that separates the illuminating set planes from an imaging set. A major goal of this approach is to illuminate evenly the back focal plane of the objective for maximum resolution and evenly illuminated background.
- Page 16 Glossary of Microscopy Terms Glossary of Microscopy Terms Phase: Phase: A property of light in which waves are “in step” with each other. See also “In phase.” Phase Contrast: Phase Contrast: A contrast-enhancement technique that detects phase objects. It uses a special ring, placed in the condenser to control location of the undiffracted light, and a matching phase plate, placed in the back focal plane of the objective.
- Page 17 Glossary of Microscopy Terms Glossary of Microscopy Terms Telan Lens: Telan Lens: An auxiliary lens used in conjunction with an infinity corrected objective to bring light to a proper focus. In some systems, the telan lens will also correct the objective’s residual chromatic aberration. See also “Tube lens.”...
