We want to establish a reflective microscopy system with Kohler illumination using optical cage system. But we have no idea how to begin with. Could you please propose any suggestions about this?
I suggest you to have a look at the following, interesting notes/papers:
-Basic Microscopy - Köhler Illumination by ZEISS
