The Instrument is used in the traditional inverted configuration, (specimen on stage with side to be studied facing down), for metallurgical work on specimens brought to the microscope, however the light enters from a direction so as to illuminate the opaque specimen. The reflecting surfaces on the specimen end of the optical tube can allow both transmitted light to pass through without being reflected, and also reflection of the image of the object being studied. The light from the light source is transmitted through the reflector to the specimen, while the specimen's illuminated image is reflected from this same reflector to the second reflector at the other side of the optical tube, and from there reflected up to the eyepiece.
