and a substage condenser in addition to the condenser of the lantern 

 or small lamp (fig. 49, 114), or light of sufficient aperture will not 

 be supplied to the microscope. In using the highest powers it is 

 also well to connect the substage condenser to the slide by homo- 

 geneous hquid, as described in § 113. The large of small arc light 

 is the only really satis- 

 factory radiant (for erect 

 images see § 283). 



If one has a drawing 

 room, a large or small arc 

 lamp, and direct current, 

 the arrangements shown 

 in fig. 109 are best, but 

 if direct current is not 

 available, excellent results 

 can be obtained by using 

 the small arc lamp on the 

 alternating current house 

 electric Ughting system 

 and the microscope, as 

 shown in fig. 113-114. 



The Hght suppHed to 

 the substage condenser 

 should be approximately 

 parallel. This is attained 

 with the small lamp by 

 putting the arc at the 

 focus of the condenser (fig. 

 49). With the large lamp 

 one should use a long focus lens for the condenser, as shown in fig. 1x5. 



In all cases the substage condenser should be shifted up and down 

 slightly until the best effect is produced. The substage condenser 

 should of course be carefully centered before commencing to draw
