Excitation Light Balancer (for the LV-UEPI2 Only)
When the illuminator LV-UEPI2 is used, the optional D-
FB excitation light balancer can be attached for the epi-fl
microscopy to observe specimens stained in multiple
colors.
The excitation light balancer enables the continuous
change of the wavelength characteristics for the
excitation light without replacing filter cubes.
The excitation light balancer is used in concert with a
dual-band characteristic filter cube.
Excitation light balancer usage
Remove the vertically oriented cover on the left side of
the illuminator, and insert the excitation light balancer
with its indication faces back.
When the excitation light balancer is inserted to the limit
position, it enters into the optical path. You can adjust the
excitation light by sliding the excitation light balancer
horizontally.
Objectives
To use the excitation light balancer, use the following
objectives in combination. If other objective is used,
uneven image may be observed in the view field.
