  • Page 5 Make the left eye adjustment without moving the focusing handle. The CN series has Siedentopf type binocular or trinocular head is designed to leave the mechanical tube length of 160mm unchanged when the interpupillary distance is adjusted.
  • Page 6 Objectives: DIN acrhomatic objectives are corrected for chromatic(colour) aberration. Your microscopes may be equipped with Semi-plan or Plan achromatic objectives which minimize the effects of curvature of field and produce flatter images. The 4 objec- tives will be parfocal when properly fix to the nosepiece so it should not be neces- sary to make large adjustments in focus when changing objectives.
  • Page 7 Field Number of eyepiece Magnification of objective So, the larger Field Number of eyepiece makes wider field of view for the objective. WF15x with retainer for micrometer disc and WF20x without retainer are available as option. Mechanical Stage: The long coaxial drive control mechanical stage is provided and makes the operation much easier.

    Substage Condenser: Abbe type substage condenser (NA 1.25) focusable with rack and pinion mechanism is provided. The top lens of the condenser is sealed to prevent damage from contact with oil. The condenser is replaceable with phase turret condenser. The functions of the condenser are to bring the light rays to a focus in the plane of the specimen and to furnish a suitable cone of light to the objective.
  • Page 9: Maintenance Of Microscope

    MAINTENANCE OF MICROSCOPE Model CN series microscope is designed such that only a minimum maintenance work is necessary. Nevertheless proper care will extend the life of the instrument considerably. There are five important rules you should observe.
  • Page 10 PHASE CONTRAST SYSTEM Phase contrast is a form of illumination which alters the normal path of light waves from an object to a wavelength shifted diffraction pattern thus allowing visualization of transparent or low contrast specimens. This allows living cells and suspensions to be viewed without the need for staining procedures.
  • Page 11 10. Using the focusing control of the Centering Telescope only, focus the rings to maximum clearness. 11. To achieve optimum performance, the bright ring must be positioned concen- tric with the darker ring at the center of view. This is done by using the knurled ring holding the illumination annulus located underneath the turret housing.
  • Page 12 TV MICROSCOPY Direct Focus Trinocular model provides the C-Mount tube as a standard accessory. Through the C-mount tube, the image produced by objective can be sent directly to CCTV cam- era. Compared with the secondary image produced with the TVA-45 camera adapter, the direct image becomes sharper and clearer, while the field of view be- comes narrower.
  • Page 13 Indirect Focus Model TVA-45 adapter is optionally available, allowing a CCTV camera to be con- nected with photo tube of microscope. The TVA-45 adapter has a built-in reducing lens to make the field of view wider and also make the magnification smaller than the direct focused image.
  • Page 14 PHOTOMICROGRAPHY WITH DIGITAL STILL CAMERA You can take photomicrographs with your SLR digital camera using optional accessories Model DG adapter and various kinds of T-mount adapter available according to your camera. How to mount SRL digital camera onto microscope Remove the mounted lens from your camera. Attach a T-mount adapter to the DG adapter.
