Koehler Tutor 1.15

Learn how to set Koehler illumination on any microscope. The application provides a simulation of your microscope's controls and the images seen through the eyepieces, acting as a practical virtual tool. It details the locations of the controls on your microscope stand and elucidates their correct usage, as well as demonstrates their impact on the image at the eyepieces.

Remembering every step necessary to implement Koehler illumination might be challenging, and this app can serve as a valuable aid whenever you need to verify your instrument's configuration.

Properly setting Koehler illumination results in a uniformly illuminated field of view, decreases stray light, and allows you to adjust the balance between resolution and contrast.

Regardless of whether your microscope is from Zeiss, Leica, Olympus, Nikon, or any other manufacturer, the same fundamental principles are applicable.
