  • Koehler Illumination  
    Rating
    From the Albert Einstein College of Medicine:
    The 'what and why Koehler Illumination'. Koehler Illumination is proper alignment of the incident or illuminating light for microscopy. Every time you use the microscope for transmitted light work, whether brightfield, phase or DIC, you must align the condenser lens to assure Koehler illumination is optimal. If you fail to do this, you will have poor resolution, wacky contrast artifacts, and unevenly lit pictures...
