Performing a
transmission
experiment
A standard transmission experiment sample was shipped in the
accessory box. This sample can be used to perform your first
transmission discrete point experiment and whenever you wish to
confirm that your microscope is operating properly. Before you
begin, be sure that the condenser is centered and focused. Data taken
through a condenser that is not centered and focused will not be
accurate or repeatable.
1. Locate the 1.0 mil PE Microscope sample slide.
It was provided with your microscope in the accessory box. The
slide includes an open beam position and an ink on polyethylene
sample.
2. Install the sample slide in the universal holder and then
install the holder on the stage.
3. If you are using a Reflachromat objective and condenser, set
the compensation rings.
Since this sample is free standing, set the rings to 0.
