2.20 Using a Simple Phase Contrast Kit (Optional Accessory)
2.20.1 Unpacking the Simple Phase Contrast Kit
1. Take the aluminum case containing your kit out of the cardboard carton.
Remove the tape and open the container carefully so as to avoid dropping
and damaging the optical items. You may need to use the key taped onto the
box. Check carefully to ensure that all parts and accessories are intact.
Note: You must match finite tube-length kits to finite tube-length microscopes
and infinity-corrected units to infinity-corrected microscopes for optimal
results.
2. Check the packing list to ensure that you’re received all the items. All units
should come with:
Ø 10X, 40X, & 100X Phase Contrast Condenser Lenses
Ø 10X, 40X, & 100X Phase Contrast Objective Lenses
Ø Condenser Assembly
Ø Centering Telescope Lens
