Abstract: Methods and apparatus for center masking a condenser lens of a transmitted light microscope to simultaneously maximize resolution, contrast and depth of field utilizing at a conjugate plane of the aperture plane where an image of the rear aperture of the condenser lens has been created, a plurality of light sources to illuminate two or more of the faces of a multi-face mirror in the shape of a pyramid which moves relative to the light sources to vary the amount of center masking continuously over a range including zero while directing multiple oblique beams of light onto the objective lens.

Abstract: A light microscope (15) with lenses projecting the rear aperture of an objective lens at a location remote from the objective lens (11) enhancing high power stereoscopic viewing and photographing with a binocular or two eyepiece viewing system (14, 16) and when combined with an iris in close proximity to the projected image of the rear aperture of the objective lens, controls flare.

Abstract: Métodos y aparatos para el enmascaramiento central de un lente condensador de un microscopio de luz transmitida para maximizar simultáneamente la resolucion, el contraste y la profundidad de campo utilizando un plano conjugado del plano de abertura en donde una imagen de la abertura posterior del lente condensador ha sido creada, una pluralidad de fuentes de luz para iluminar dos o más de las caras de un espejo de multiples caras en forma de una pirámide, el cual se mueve en relacion a las fuentes de luz para variar la cantidad de enmascaramiento central continuamente sobre una escala que incluye el cero, dirigiendo a la vez multiples haces de luz oblicuos sobre el lente objetivo.

Abstract: An illumination system and method for increasing resolution, sharpness, depth of field, and perception of depth for a transmitted light microscope including a condenser lens (12) having an optical axis (13), an objective lens (14) having an optical axis (16), and an eyepiece system (41) wherein a light beam path shift device (23 and 24) enables two or more separate light beams (28 and 32) to be focused onto the condenser lens (12) along paths (28a and 32a) that are not coincident with the condenser lens optical axis (13) and that produce beam exit paths (33 and 34) from the condenser lens (13) which are at maximum oblique angles relative to the optical axis (16) of the objective lens (14).

Abstract: Apparatus for masking (center and peripheral) the microscope condenser lens to simultaneously maximize resolution, contrast and depth of field utilizing, at a conjugate plane of the aperture plane where an image of the rear aperture of the condenser lens has been created, a plurality of light sources to illuminate two or more of the faces of a multi-faced mirror in the shape of a pyramid which moves relative to the light sources to vary the amount of center masking continuously over a range including zero while directing multiple oblique beams of light onto the objective lens including such apparatus for connection to the illumination port of a light microscope in place of a standard light source.

Abstract: An illumination system and method for increasing resolution, sharpness, depth of field, and perception of depth for a transmitted light microscope including a condenser lens having an optical axis, objective lens having an optical axis, and an eye piece wherein a light beam path shift enables two or more separate light beams to be directed onto the condenser along paths that are not coincident with the condenser lens optical axis and that produce beam exit paths from the condenser lens which are at maximum oblique angles relative to the objective lens axis which are within the objective lens aperture.
