OPERATION (cont.)
USING THE 5-HOLE DIAPHRAGM
1. To obtain the best contrast for observing, match the hole size to
the objective that is being used to view the specimen.
2. Each hole has a corresponding number from 1 to 5. 1 is the
smallest hole; 5 is the largest hole.
Use the following guidelines to match the hole number to the
objective that you have selected:
40x objective: Use #5 hole
10x objective: Use #4 or #3 hole
4x objective: Use #2 or #1 hole
