10.1.4 Line Light
The line light is used to illuminate reflecting fluorescence samples. Reflections on the sample
are ruled out by the fact that the lights are positioned at the side. The angle of illumination can
be set by adjusting the two lights. To this end, you have to open the knurled screws and move
the fiber optics lights to the desired position. Make sure that both lights are in the same position
relative to each other to avoid irregular illumination conditions.
Plug the fiber optics connection into the transfer port in the right, upper section of the dark box
of the NightOWL. It ensures reliable light coupling. In addition, the connection can be secured
against inadvertently coming loose by the toggle screw at the transfer port.
10.1.5 Goose Neck Light Guide
The goose neck light guide is used to illuminate very small samples or plant parts. Thanks to
the two flexible arms it can be employed universally and can be adapted to the respective illu-
mination tasks.
The two light exit opening should be placed such that they are outside the image acquisition
range.
Plug the fiber optics connection into the transfer port in the right, upper section of the dark box
