For dark-field microscopy, set the condenser turret to the [DF] (dark-field module)
position (this step is not required for bright-field microscopy).
Press the FUNCTION button 1/2 to turn the condenser
turret and display [DF] on the front panel of Ni-E. The
turret's dark-field module enters the optical path in this
state.
Button 1 is for counterclockwise rotation and button 2 is

The dark-field module can be used with any objective
with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.7 or less. Note,
however, that 2x and 4x objectives are not supported.
2x and 4x objectives can only be used for bright-field
microscopy.
