The models with fluorescence capability use a user-replaceable halogen bulb as their light
source; models with absorbance capability use a xenon flash bulb. The SLXFA-SN and
SLXFATS-SN contain both light sources. Only the halogen bulb is user-replaceable.
Use of labware other than described here can result in positioning errors during program
execution.
