Abstract
An apparatus for varying the position of a field stop with respect to a microscope substage illuminator includes a carrier for slidably mounting the field stop on the illuminator so as to move in a direction transverse to the optical axis of the illuminator. An annular element controlling the aperture of the field stop is pivotally mounted within the carrier and is coupled to a knurled ring projecting radially and upwardly from the diaphragm carrier. The knurled ring is in turn pivoted within the diaphragm carrier and preferably carries a circular line inscribed thereon which is concentric with the field stop in order to facilitate adjustment of the field stop.
