OTHER OBSERVATION METHODS
5-1 Phase Contrast Observation
}A phase contrast objective, phase contrast optical element and the U-CT30 centering telescope are required for phase
contrast observation (the U-BI90CT binocular observation tube .is not required).
}If a DIC slider, analyzer or polarizer is engaged in the light path, disengage it.

}Insert the optical element (small) in the 30 mm position and the optical element (large) in the 38 mm position.
For well observation, it is recommended to use the IX-PHC to obtain the phase contrast effect in a wide range of field of
view.
