• Put a high-contrast sample into the specimen
holder of the mechanical stage.
• If condensers with a swiveling front lens are
used, swivel these into the beam path with
≥ 10x objectives and turn the knurled knob for
vertical adjustment of the condenser (
to the top stop. Make sure the stop is adjusted
to prevent the condenser from lifting out the
sample.
• On condensers with revolver/modulator disks:
turn the knurled ring (
