3. While looking through the telescope

lens, extend the eyepiece by rotating the

top counter clockwise.

4. Keep rotating the telescope lens until

an image of the objective’s phase ring

and the condenser’s annulus are clearly

in focus.

5. By slowly moving the annulus on the

underside of the turret, now in-line with

the condenser’s lens, the annulus’ bright

ring of light should overlap the dark grey

ring, which is the objective’s phase ring

6. If the bright ring is still obscure, raise or

lower the condenser by adjusting the

condenser focusing knob (or the

microscope focusing knob if necessary)

until the bright ring is in focus and the

dark ring is visible.

7. Place the green filter in the filter holder

or directly onto the center of the base

lens of your microscope (where the

light emerges from). Remove the

green filter if doing darkfield

microscopy.

8. Remove the centering telescope and replace the eyepiece.

Note: Once aligned, repeat the process for each magnification.
