Parts Of The Microscope - Nikon E800 Operating Instructions Manual

Parts of the microscope:

Neutral density filters to adjust illumination
if required. They can be used in any
combination to adjust the illumination so
that it is comfortable for your eyes..
Push lever down to engage filter. Filters are
marked ND2, ND8, & ND32. They can be
used in any combination.
Illumination intensity can be adjusted with
power dial on left side of microscope. Please
note that turning the dial changes the voltage
to the lamp. This also changes the wavelength
of the emitted light. Since wavelength
determines color, this should not be used for
any color samples. Instead adjust to "SET"
position (extreme counter-clockwise) and then
use the neutral density filters to adjust the
illumination intensity.
The condenser system consists of the
condenser turret and also the DIC lower filter.
Positions on the turret are marked "A" for
brightfield and DICL, DICM, and DICH for
Nomarski DIC contrast.
The microscope power selector is on the front
bottom and the condenser field aperture is on
the lower right.
