Getting to Know Your Tilt
In order to begin imaging, you will need to position center of the light sheet at the focal
point of the objective. To accomplish this, you will make use of the three colored position-
ing knobs on the Tilt (Fig A).
1 – FRONT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (
GREEN
)
The Green knob adjusts the height of the front side of the Tilt (Fig B), effectively sweeping
the sheet up and down above the objective. Adjust the Green knob to position the light
sheet vertically at the focal point of your objective.
2 – LATERAL ADJUSTMENT (
BLUE
)
Adjusting the Blue knob will slide the Tilt sled forward and back (Fig B), thereby changing
the lateral position of the light sheet. Use the Blue knob to center the focused light sheet
over your objective.
3 – REAR HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (
PINK
)
Turning the Pink knob will raise and lower the height of the back side of the Tilt
(Fig. B). Make use of this knob to adjust the final Tilt angle after positioning the light
sheet over the objective using the Blue and Green knobs.
