Vision Scientific VMU0004-T Advanced Infinity-Corrected Trinocular Microscope 40X-1000X, 5W LED Kohler Illumination

I'm Jennifer waters the director of the Nikon Imaging Center at Harvard Medical School and this video is a tutorial on aligning the light microscope to achieve optimal image quality specifically we're going to talk about a type of alignment called color illumination color illumination is a method of aligning the optics in the microscope that provides even illumination across the field of view and maximizes the contrast and minimizes artifacts in the image color illumination is a very important skill for every microscopy stew master an understanding color illumination is also super useful in understanding how the different parts and pieces of the microscope work together first let me make it clear what I mean by aligning optics aligning optics just means positioning them in X Y & Z relative to one another and relative to the specimen you already know how to align the main image forming l
