The DM6 is a fixed stage microscope, which means that the stage doesn’t move when the focus is changed. Instead, it’s the objective lens nosepiece that moves up and down. Fixed stage microscopes are used for experiments where the sample must be kept very stable, such as electrophysiological experiments where there may be probes inserted into the specimen that could be moved or damaged if the stage moves up or down. The fixed stage configuration also allows the user to change stage types and raise or lower the stage to accommodate different sized specimens. |
To prevent damage to the brightfield substage condenser as the stage initialises, lower the condenser by rotating its focus knob anticlockwise until the front lens is clear of the bottom of the stage.
