Illumination
Illumination on/off
Use the EPI switch and the DIA switch on the operation
panel to turn on and off the illumination. The EPI switch
and the DIA switch turn on/off the episcopic illumination
and diascopic illumination respectively. The switch
indicator lights up (or blinks) when the illumination is
on.
For the standard halogen lamp, only one lamp which
button is pressed later lights up. Press the same switch
again to turn off the lamp.
Independent switches are provided to control the illumination
on/off and brightness. Thus, the lamp can be turned on or off
while maintaining the set brightness setting, for example.
•
Operations when the episcopic illumination and the diascopic illumination are both lit
When an external power source device is used to turn on the episcopic illumination and the
diascopic illumination simultaneously, the lamps of the episcopic illumination and the diascopic
illumination can be independently controlled by using the EPI switch and the DIA switch.
•
Operating an external light source
When an external light source device (Intensilight C-HGFIE or EXFO X-Cite 120 PC) is used for the
episcopic illumination, the EPI switch is able to open/close the shutter of the light source device. For a
light source with a mercury lamp or such, its lamp cannot be frequently turned on or off. Therefore, when
you wish to turn on or off the lamp on the light source, operate the power switch on the light source.
Power indicator
The power indicator light changes its color depending on the lighting illuminator(s). The indicator
lights up in green when either the episcopic illumination or the diascopic illumination is lit, and it
lights up in orange when they are unlit.
Double light source adapter
(only for the episcopic illumination)
The double light source adapter is used to attach the
halogen lamp and an external light source together as the
episcopic illumination. The specimen can be observed by
switching the light sources with they turned on.
To switch the light sources, slide the adapter to the click-
stop position with the slide knob on the right of the
adapter. Press the knob and slide the adapter leftwards to
place the exteranl light source into the optical path. Pull
the knob and slide the adapter rightwards to place the
halogen lamp into the optical path.
Antiglare function
The antiglare function is automatically activated whenever the microscopy method is changed (the
filter cube turret rotates) or the objective is switched (the nosepiece rotates). When such operations
are performed from the operation panel, the lamp turns off (or the shutter of the external light
source closes, when used), and the microscopy or the objective switches before the lamp turns on
(or the shutter of the external light source opens, when used).
