MICROSCOPE TERMINOLOGY • ABBE CONDENSER: The 1.25 N. A. Abbe condenser lens positioned under center of stage is requited when using 100x objective lenses. In addition the Abbe condenser is focusable by one of two methods, a spiral mount condenser with lever to lower or raise the assembly or else a rack and pinion mount with a knob to provide movement in the up and down direction •...

• IRIS DIAPHRAGM: Iris Diaphragm, opening and closing of iris is controlled by lever. It is designed to help achieve optimum resolution of the objective lens. Larger apertures used for higher magnifications, and smaller apertures used for lower magnifications. • MAGNIFICATION: Total magnification obtained with each objective lens is determined by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece times the magnification of the objective.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF MICROSCOPES WARNING: For your own safety, turn switch off and remove plug from power source before maintaining your microscope. If the power-cord, AC power converter, recharger, or any of the supply cords are worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately to avoid shock or fire hazard.
