12.3 Use of light excluding plate
•
Microscope is provided with a light excluding plate
that can be placed on the stage and 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. 40)
2. Mode n° 2: lower the condenser and insert the plate between
the two layers of the stage. (Fig. 41).

In both cases it is possible to move the sample using the
stage X-Y translation knobs.
