5-2 Phase Contrast Observation (Using the IX2-ILL30 Column)
}A phase contrast slider, phase contrast objective, phase contrast optical element and the U-CT30 centering telescope
(which is not required when the U-BI90CT binocular observation tube is used) are required for phase contrast observa-
tion.
}If a DIC slider and/or analyzer are engaged in the light path, disengage them.

2 Attaching the Optical Elements (Fig. 54)
}When using an objective that is not compatible with the built-in optical
element, it is required to use a special optical element.
1. To insert the IX2-SLPH2 optical element, insert it in the idle position ² so
that the surface with indication @ faces upwards.
2. When attaching the IX2-SLPHC or IX2-SLPH1 optical element in the center
position ³, insert the provided centering knobs into the screw holes |,
loosen them, insert the optical element and tighten lightly the centering
knobs again.
