2.1 Introduction to Microscopy
The Ti series microscopes are system microscopes that offer a high degree of flexibility in system building for
various purposes. A wide range of options is available for various parts, including the main body, dia
illuminator, and eyepiece tube. For this reason, the operation procedures will vary depending on the system
configuration.
In this chapter, the following common configuration is used as an example to explain the microscopy
procedures.
Sample configuration
Ti-E, PFS Motorized Nosepiece, TI-DH Dia Pillar Illuminator 100W, LWD Condenser,
and TI-TD Eyepiece Tube B
Bright-field microscopy (see 2.2)
Phase contrast microscopy (without external phase contrast devices) (see 2.3)
External phase contrast microscopy (see 2.4)
In-focus observation with PFS (see 2.5)
• For the name and position of each part, refer to Chapter 1, “Part Names.”
• For details on operation methods, refer to Chapter 3, “Operation.”
• If the microscope has not been assembled yet, first refer to Chapter 4, “Assembly.”
• If the configuration of your microscope system differs from the examples used in this chapter, refer to the
relevant sections of Chapter 3, “Operation.”
• If your microscope system has the epi-fl attachment or the differential interference contrast attachment,
refer to the respective instruction manuals.
• If your microscope system is equipped with the TI-HUBC/A Hub Controller A, refer to the instruction
manual provided with the hub controller.
