2.4 Illumination and contrasting techniques
The description/application of illumination/contrasting techniques is based on the following
microscope settings:
• Axiovert 25 microscope is switched on.
• The "Illuminance" control (1Ć6ā/ā25) is in center position.
• The "beam path" switch (1Ć6ā/ā30) is in the position for observation.

• To fully illuminate object fields even when lowĆpower objectives (< 5x) are used, push condenser
(2Ć14/3) out of its work position (dashed line in Fig. 2Ć15).
• When particularly high culture vessels are used, this position of the condenser is also required
in order to increase the free working distance to approx. 190 mm.
NOTE Only simple general illumination is obtained if no condenser is used!
• When using the condenser again for illumination, slide it exactly up to the stop position.
NOTE Loosening the three screws (2Ć15/7) of the condenser changer permits the condenser
0.4 to be replaced with the condenser 0.2 or 0.55.
