It should be remembered, however, that the eye-piece magni- fies the image, and hence, any imperfections that may exist in the image. On account of eye-piece magnification, the field becomes darker and less distinct. It is preferable, therefore, to obtain an increased magnification by changing the objectives, rather than by the use of deep oculars. When apochromatic objectives, are used, it is possible to employ even the deepest compensation oculars. The Abhe condenser.âThis is a most important accessory to a microscope, and, indeed, it should not be wanting on an instrument intended for bac- teriological work. The usual Abbe condenser is chromatic, although for special purposes, as in micro-photography, an achro- matic condenser is employed. The ordinary condenser is made of two lenses, as shown in Fig. 19, and has a numerical aperture of By the introduction of a third lens, the aperture is in- creased to The aim of the condenser is to illuminate the object as much as possible. Without a condenser, given a plane mirror, an object will be illuminated by a pencil of light corresponding to its own diameter. This may be sufficient for a low power, but when high powers are used, it is evident that more light must be thrown on the object in order to see distinctly. By means of the condenser, the. Fig. 19.
