Hoffman Modulation Contrast

HMC® consists of a unique filter, the modulator, in the objective

 and a special aperture. It is available as new standard

equipment or for upgrading compound microscopes.

HMC converts phase gradients into intensity variations,

thereby making transparent specimens clear with vivid detail.

HMC offers, at moderate cost, virtually all of the

capabilities of the other contrast systems, plus important

additional advantages.

 

 

Hoffman Modulation Contrast System is a cost

effective upgrade to 3-dimensional appearing images

for both the inverted and upright compound

light microscope.

 

 

A brightfield compound light microscope is converted to HMC

by adding three components:

 

  1. HMC objective(s)

  2. HMC condenser

  3. HMC contrast control polarizer

 

 

 

The HMC system has three components: HMC objective(s), an HMC condenser, and a polarizer.

  •  An HMC objective is equipped with a unique filter, the modulator.

  •  An HMC condenser has slits corresponding to the HMC objectives.

  •  The HMC polarizer is used to control the image contrast.

The combination of these components selectively filters the light based on the optical gradients in the specimen. These are converted to intensity differences to produce a 3-dimensional appearing image.
