Condenser is used to collect and focus the light from the illuminator on to the specimen.

Compound light microscope labeled condenser. Abbe condenser this is a condenser specially designed on high quality microscopes which makes the condenser to be movable and allows very high magnification of above 400x. A phase contrast microscope is a compound microscope that utilizes a special phase contrast objective lens and a phase slider or phase condenser to bring out contrast in a sample without having to stain the sample. It s made up of at least one objective lens and at least one ocular lens as well as a light source condenser and other essential parts.
