9. Contrast Methods
Special darkfield condensers are available for
the DM2000, DM2500 and DM3000 (Fig. 61).
The application potential of the DF condensers
depends on the aperture of the objective in use.
For objectives with a built-in iris diaphragm, the
aperture can be adapted.

• First adjust transmitted light darkfield.
• To obtain a relief-like contrast:
Condenser UCA/P:
Rotate condenser disk slightly out of the DF
position.
