12.7 Use of the light excluding plate
• Microscope is provided with a light excluding
plate that can be placed on the stageand
prevents flare and reflections coming from
the condenser front lens.
The plate can be used in two different ways.
1. Mode n° 1: place the plate on the stage (under
the slide holder) and place the slide directly over
the plate. (Fig. 52)
2. Mode n° 2: lower the condenser and insert the
plate between the two layers of the stage. (Fig.
53).
• In both cases it is possible to move the sample
using the stage X-Y translation knobs.
