IRIS DIAPHRAGM a multi-leaf round shaped device which is controlled by a lever. It is similar to a camera shutter, and is installed under the condenser. By moving the lever back and forth, the iris diaphragm opens and closes, increasing and decreasing the contrast of the specimen. If the image is washed out the iris diaphragm is opened too wide.
magnification and convert the image into a field of view easily seen by the human eye.
