4 Initial Setup
System Components
The PhotoFluor II and PhotoFluor II NIR illumination systems are
comprised of:
Light Source
Liquid Light Guide (specific to both the PhotoFluor II and the
PhotoFluor II NIR)
Microscope Adapter (as required)
Electrical Power Cord
USB to Serial adapter
Bulb
Carefully unpack all components, giving particular care to the liquid
light guide. The light guide should never be bent severely or it will
sustain irreversible damage. Also take care not to touch or
contaminate the ends of light guide. If necessary the ends can be
cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth.
Picking a Location
Set the light source on a flat surface in a place that allows for
adequate air ventilation on all sides. Do not position the unit so that
any of the sides (including the back or the top) are up against a wall
or other equipment.
NOTE:
Maintain
at least 6” of clearance
around all sides
of the light source for adequate ventilation.
Light Guide Connection
Push the wider end of the light guide into the acceptor at the back of
the unit until it snaps in place. Do not force the light guide.
Using an Allen wrench, attach the adapter (as required) to the epi-
illumination port of the microscope. Insert the end of the light guide
and secure in place by turning the red knob firmly to the right.
