Attaching a filter cube

Precautions for attaching and removing the cube

•

Be sure to check that the light source is turned off before attaching or removing the cube.

•

Be sure to check that the power switch for microscope main body is turned off and then attach the cube by
rotating the cube switchover turret. Also for the motorized epi-fluorescence cube turret, attach it by manually
rotating the inside turret.

(1) Pull out the filter cube replacement cover on the

front of the epi-fluorescence cube turret to remove it.

(2) Attach the filter cube to the slot.

(3) Insert the filter cube nameplate into the slot cover

window.
Insert into the same address window as the address
shown inside the slot.

(4) Turn the cube switchover turret to attach the filter

cubes in the remaining slots and also insert the
nameplates.

For bright-field microscopy

For bright-field microscopy, be sure to make the
address 1 empty.

For motorized/intelligent epi-fluorescence cube
turret, only address 1 can be set to [OPEN].

(5) Restore the slot cover back to its original position.
