OPERATION Illumination: On any light microscope, the ability to adjust light is probably the most import element after the quality of the lens systems. The Ken-A-Vision Research Microscope has 4 distinct mechanisms to adjust light intensity, and thereby allowing for High Bright Köhler Illumination. The degree of light inten- sity needed depends...

How to set up your Ken-A-Vision Research Microscope for High Bright Köhler Illumination • Focus on the specimen with whatever objective desired for use. • Close the field diaphragm (located on top of the illuminator in the base) to its most closed position - you may see the edges of the diaphragm within the microscope field (they may be blurry).
objectives are all spring-loaded so they should slide onto the cover slip WITHOUT any force. If you have to force the objecting into position, STOP , your specimen and/or cover slip may be too thick, and you risk scratching the objective and/or smashing the slide.

Useful microscopy definitions and Research Scope options Objective Lenses There are typically three types of objective lenses found on brightfield microscopes - Achromat, semi-plan, and plan objectives. understand the difference, realize that all microscope lenses are curved, which results in an image that is slightly out of focus at the edges, and may produce chromatic or spherical aberrations due to this curved shape.

160 mm established by standard in the 1800's. The infinity optical system provides an "infinite" region of parallel light between objective and eyepiece, pushing the image out approaching infinity Aberrations - Chromatic, Achromatic or Spherical - Any change from idealized and/or uniform light conditions coming through a lens is called an aberration.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning The T-290XX Research Microscopes are precision instruments. Routine or protective care and maintenance is highly recommended. • Always wipe off any (immersion) oil from objectives, stage and condenser immediately. More persistent dirt, such as fingerprints, grease and/or oil, may be removed with soft cotton or lens tissue, lightly moistened with lens cleaner.
