Condenser Diaphragm-This diaphragm controls the amount of light entering the lens system. This feature is useful for viewing unstained biological specimens that are translucent. Reducing the amount of light improves contrast, making the specimen stand out against the background.
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is pinched, irritated or injured. Inflammation, arthritis or a displaced disk in the lower spine are often to blame. Doctors commonly treat sciatica with epidural injections into the spine.(The word âepiduralâ refers to a particular area in the spine.) The injections contain a steroid, which reduces inflammation. The injections can also contain a long-lasting painkiller.The different causes of sciatica may be one reason that studies come to different conclusions.The word âepiduralâ refers to a particular area in the spine.)

Sciatica usually goes away on its own after a period of rest and limited activities. Most people with sciatica feel better within 6 weeks. Pain that lasts longer than 6 to 12 weeks should prompt a follow up visit to your doctor.
