 of the carbons. To compensate for this there must be fine adjust-

The Objective, Condenser, and Arc Lamp are on separate blocks which move 

 independently along the optical bench (fig. 131).

 cell for absorbing radiant heat between the lenses.

LA , VA The mechanism for fine adjustment of the arc lamp to the sides and 

 vertically. These are a necessity for projecting with the microscope, otherwise 

 the crater cannot be kept centered.

side. No good projection can take place unless the full cone of 

 light shines upon the end of the objective. 



To get the very best effect in the easiest way there should be a dull 

 black shield over the end of the objective (fig. 123) so that the image of 

 the crater can be seen without hurting the eyes. When the crater is 

 focused on the end of the objective the specimen is moved up until
