Centering the Hg 100 W and Xe 75 W
mercury lamps
• The adjustment window shows the direct im-
age of the arc and its mirror image. These are
generally not in alignment with one another.
• Focus the direct image with the collector (36.6).
• Use the adjusting buttons to pivot the arc’s mir-
ror image on the rear side of the lamp housing
(36.2, 36.4) to the side or completely out of the
beam path. The arc’s focused image remains
visible (Fig. 40).
• Use the adjusting buttons (36.1) and (36.5) to
place the direct arc image in the middle of the
centering plane, whereby the bright tip of the
arc, the focal spot, should lie slightly outside of
center (Fig. 41).
• Then pivot the arc’s mirror image with the ad-
justing knobs (36.2) and (36.4), and focus it us-
ing the refl ector (36.3).
• Orient the mirror image symmetrically to the
direct image (Fig. 42). To do so, again use the
adjusting knobs (36.2) and (36.4).
The V-shaped irradiation of the direct image
and mirror image arcs can be superimposed.
Caution!
The bright tips of the arcs, the focal spot, must
never be projected onto each other, as this re-
sults in a danger of explosion by overheating.
