Köhler Illumination: Interactive Tutorials

Reflected Light Illuminators

Explore how light is passed through the various components of a reflected light illuminator with this interactive tutorial. Instructions for use of the tutorial are given below the applet window.

The only variable in this tutorial is the lamp voltage, which is controlled by the slider. Use this slider to increase and/or decrease the voltage and observe how light emitted from the lamp is directed through the illuminator.
