The condenser is essential in histology for several reasons:
Enhances Image Clarity: By focusing light, it ensures that the tissue specimen is well illuminated, producing clear and sharp images. Improves Contrast: Adjusting the iris diaphragm and height of the condenser can significantly improve the contrast, making cellular structures more distinguishable. Facilitates Detailed Examination: Proper illumination is critical for observing fine details within tissue samples, aiding in accurate diagnosis and research.
