Hold the finger in position and open the diaphragm widely and see if the markings can still be made out. Now remove the finger so that the object is lighted by the full aperture of central light. Probably the markings will not appear at all. Put the finger Objactrve R Back of C Objeotlvo D Fig. 45. Aperture of the Substage Condenser and of the Objective. (From Nelson, Jour. Roy. Micr. Soc). A The cone of light from the condenser fills the aperture of the objective (B) D The cone of light of the condenser only partly fills the aperture of the objective (C). In A and D the condenser and objective are shown in section; in B and C, the back lens of the objective is shown in face view as when looking down upon it with the ocular removed. back in position to give oblique light and the markings will again be seen. Remove the finger and slowly close up the diaphragm. When the proper aperture is reached the markings will again appear. For histological preparations the oblique light is not a help in bring- ing out details of structure. There the end is reached by using the proper aperture, regulating the source of light, and by differential staining (). § 116. Lateral swaying of the image. — Frequently in studying an object, especially with a high power, it will appear to sway from side to side in focusing up or down. A glass stage micrometer or fly's wing is an excellent object. Make the light central or axial and focus up and down and notice that the lines simply disappear or grow di
