Illuminator is the light source for a microscope typically located in the base of the microscope.
A phase contrast microscope is a compound microscope that utilizes a special phase contrast objective lens and a phase slider or phase condenser to bring out contrast in a sample without having to stain the sample.
It s made up of at least one objective lens and at least one ocular lens as well as a light source condenser and other essential parts.

Abbe condenser this is a condenser specially designed on high quality microscopes which makes the condenser to be movable and allows very high magnification of above 400x.
Most light microscopes use low voltage halogen bulbs with continuous variable lighting control located within the base.
Objective lens magnification and eyepiece lens magnification are multiplied to give the total multiplication power of a compound microscope.
