The radial and circular muscles of the iris.
An iris diaphragm controls the amount of light admitted to a lens. Closing the iris diaphragm will decrease the brightness and increase the contrast of an image.
when observing a prepared bacterial smear, should the diaphragm be open or closed and why
The Iris
the iris diaphragm controls the amount of light that passes through the stage and, consequently, through the specimen. Reducing the iris diaphragm aperture increases contrast for an image focused under high power by reducing the amount of light that both fills the objective lens and deracts around specimen edges. Opening the iris diaphragm under high magnification increases "flare", the appearance of light "washing out" an object. By decreasing the flow of light through the specimen, the iris diaphragm limits light defraction and saturation.
Cameras have an iris diaphragm.
This iris diaphragm of a microscope contains the amount of light that can enter through to the specimen. If the condenser iris diaphragm is open, the image will be bright; if it is closed, it will be dim.
open the iris diaphragm.
The radial and circular muscles of the iris.
The iris diaphragm adjusts the amount of light allowed in.

On a microscope, the iris diaphragm controls the amount of light.
The Iris
As known as iris. It can control the light that go through the specimen. Open iris : Higher the brighter, lower the contrast. Close iris : Lower the brighter, higher the contrast. <3

It got its name from its shape. It closes similar to the iris in your eye.
