2-10 Adjust the position of the slit diaphragm.
[g] NAMC condenser module (
☞
3.4.8)
Adjust the position to cause the portion of the slit
aperture image that does not change its brightness to
overlap with the gray zone in the modulator.
To emphasize the 3D effect, align the inside of the gray
zone with the inner side of the aperture diaphragm.
To control decline in contrast due to light leakage, align
the inner side of the gray zone with the center of the
bridge.
