The difference between the objectives
HMC - Hoffman modulation contrast (objectives in position 5-6). The method converts phase
gradients into intensity variations to create 3D-like images, allowing observation in plastic dishes.
These objectives are suited for plastic dishes.

Correction collar. You have to adjust
the ring to the coverslip-petridish
thickness. Turn until the image looks
the sharpest.
Indicates the phase-ring. Use ”Ph2” for
this objective.
Indicates the NA. The higher the
number the better the resolution.
