Description
Learn how to set Koehler illumination on any microscope. Teach yourself, or teach others. The app simulates your microscope's controls and the images generated at the eyepieces, acting as a virtual microscope. The locations of the controls on your microscope stand are shown, and the correct way to use them is explained. Their effect on the image at the eyepieces is demonstrated.
Remembering all of the steps required to set Koehler illumination can be tricky, and this app will serve as a useful reminder whenever you wish to check that the configuration of your instrument is correct.
Setting Koehler illumination generates an evenly illuminated field of view, reduces stray light, and allows you to set the balance between resolution and contrast.
It doesn't matter if your microscope was made by Zeiss, Leica, Olympus, Nikon, or any other manufacturer, the same principles apply.

Ratings and Reviews
Beautiful but limited
This is a beautifully worked tutorial on setting up kohler illumination but that is all it does. It could be a star part of a broader app on microscopy but by itself it is too limited to be worthwhile for many people. I hope the developer takes this further
Developer Response ,
Thanks very much for the review! I really appreciate it, Andrew
Poor experience
Purchased due to high reviews. Could not use it at all. Tutorial unhelpful. Came to Goal 3 and couldn’t do anything else. Unclear how one takes an image. Help button doesn’t have any information just 4 steps which you cannot even complete.
To top it up accompanied with a viral button to install all sort of apps from google. I don’t even use google. Absolutely awful experience and now I don’t know how to get my money back.
Developer Response ,
This app is free! You did not pay anything for it! If you are indeed having a difficult experience using it please send details including screen shots to the address in the ‘about’ view and I will investigate.
Excellent Tutorial
Although I would prefer to see no Adverts:
This is a very effective interactive tutorial.
... Nicely done.

My personal preference would be see a 'paid for' option; although perhaps that puts me in a minority of one.
Frankly; I not investigated the economics of the advert-sponsored business model, so can offer no valid opinion.
Developer Response ,
Many thanks. The ads are the only way to offer the app for free. Best, Andrew
