Can you combine more than 3 Phase Contrast objective lenses into the turret condenser ? By that I mean, I have seen 10x, 20x Phase Contrast objective lenses both using the Ph1 location on the turrent condenser. If so, what about using 5 Phase Contrast objectives ?
Yes, there's even some microscopes that share the same phase stop for 4x-100x objectives. The Panthera E2/C2 has a Ph1 stop for the 4x, the 10x and 20x both use the Ph2 stop and the 100x has a Ph3 stop.
thank you

@@microscopesupply Thank you for your reply. I have asked this question to half a dozen experts and you are the only one who answered so completely.
@@microscopesupply I didn’t know 4x could be phase contrast, does motic offer this option?
I like.
Does the phase turret condenser have a diaphragm
Hi Darryl. Yes, the turret condenser has a diaphragm and a lever to open and close it.
