3)
Open the filter slider on the illuminator so that the light travels through the
system. Engage the field iris diaphragm all the way open. Engage the
fluorescence filter slider to a position where the plastic specimen fluoresces. If
the FOV is too bright to look at, use a different specimen that is less affected,
what is important is the specimen is consistent or even across the FOV.
4)
While looking into the eyetubes, reach to the centering controls on the
lamphouse and adjust both the X and the Y controls to achieve the brightest spot
in the center of the FOV or field of view.
5)
While still looking into the eyetubes, turn the knob on the lamphouse
which controls the focus of the collector lens assembly. Notice when you turn the
knob, that the light spreads outward and inward. Leave the knob in a position in
which the light is as even as can be made at this point.
6)
While looking into the eyetubes, reach to the centering controls on the
integrated concave mirror. On a TC system, one may need an assistant as it is
hard to reach the mirror controls and still be able to see the FOV effectively.
Adjust the concave mirror controls in such a way as to reflect the arc back into
itself further homogenizing the light in the FOV.
