This scientific field has a natural pairing with glass technology since the successful performance of so many specialty glass applications — optical fiber, display panels, semiconductor systems, and some drug-development tools, to name just a few — depend on the way those applications transmit, process, or manipulate light. And different glass compositions and forms will interact with light in different ways.

No discussion of microscope condensers is complete without mentioning the Abbe Condenser. The inventor, Ernst Abbe, developed a specialized condenser that uses an iris diaphragm to control the diameter of the beam of light being projected through the specimen, allowing for more accurate focus.

A  microscope condenser is a lens that takes a beam of light from the source and concentrates it onto the specimen. This enhances the view you see through the eyepiece and gives you greater illumination and clarity.

There are some specialized microscope condensers; one common one is a darkfield condenser. Darkfield microscopy is used to illuminate unstained samples with a darkfield condenser. This condenser scatters light, and it reflects off the specimen at an angle, causing the image to appear brightly illuminated on a dark background.

More than 400 years ago, the first microscopes were invented. While they helped magnify items the human eye couldn’t see, they had limited capabilities.

An Abbe condenser is a component of a microscope. It was invented by Ernst Karl Abbe in 1870. The Abbe condenser is mounted below the stage of the microscope and concentrates and controls the light that passes through the specimen and enters the objective. It has two controls, one which moves the Abbe condenser closer to or further from the stage, and another, the iris diaphragm, which controls the diameter of the beam of light. The controls can be used to optimize brightness, evenness of illumination, and contrast.

To optical physicists, though, light is a series of electromagnetic waves that vary widely in their frequency and wavelengths. Besides visible light, they study forms of light with frequencies that are too low or too high for the human eye to sense. Infrared radiation, for example, detects heat — and therefore, signs of life and activity. Radio waves, microwaves, radar, and X-rays are all other forms of light, and each has a unique way of interacting with glass and other matter.

Answering the question, what is the function of the condenser on a microscope can become very complicated. To simplify the answer, the condenser brings and focuses light on the subject.

On upright microscopes, the condenser is located beneath the stage or the platform which holds the specimen. The condenser gathers light and concentrates it into a cone of light that shines up through a hole in the stage and through the specimen. The result is a light source that comes through with uniform intensity.

To get a condenser to work properly, an adjustment must be made to account for each new objective. This requires aperture adjustments and focusing of the condenser. The condenser’s height can also be adjusted to manipulate the illumination of the specimen.

Optical physics plays an enormous role in increasing the computing power of everything from the chips in cell phones to quantum computers.

Inverted microscopes mount the condenser above the stage, and the specimen rests below. Otherwise, a condenser works in the same manner in inverted microscopes as it does in an upright microscope.

Microscopeparts and functions

The Abbe condenser was developed in 1870 and is still used in many modern microscopes. It does have its limitations and is not practical for magnification levels above 400x. Abbe condensers are used up to 1000x magnification

The opticians that invented the microscope understood the importance of the lenses; the light source was later found to be just as important to viewing images that were considered microscopic. This is why it’s important to understand what the condenser does on a microscope.

The lens portion of a  compound microscope is incredibly important, but the illumination system also plays a vital role in magnification. The light must bounce off or shine through the specimen to get a good image. In a standard microscope, the light passes through a translucent object. In modern microscopes, a light source and a lens system are used to form the condenser.

Optical physics is the study of light and its interaction with matter. Most of us think of light as an illuminating energy. With light, we can see things. Without it, we’re in the dark.

Corning is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Periodic Table by spotlighting a few elements that are vital to our work, along with some of our scientists' sentimental favorites.

Our optical communications products are the most well-known example of Corning’s optical physics expertise, but it also plays a role in mobile consumer electronics. The smartphone in your pocket carries extremely small light-emitting diodes, enabling backlit screens that use amazingly small amounts of battery power. The combination of that now-ubiquitous innovation with the specialty glasses that surround it have forever transformed the way we connect with the world.
