Diascopic Illuminators 

 

The primary diascopic illuminator for this microscope system consists of a stand equipped with an illuminating optical system. 
A dark-field illuminator and polarizing illuminator are also available. 

 

12.1 

 

P-DSL32 LED Diascopic Illumination Stand 

 

The P-DSL32 is a stand equipped with diascopic illumination optical systems and the focus mechanism of the support pillar 
vertical movement type. 

Attach a C-FMCN Focus Mount to the support pillar. 

The base with a large glass plate (180 mm dia.) enhances usability and enables easier observation of samples in a container 
such as a petri dish. 

A dedicated hex driver is located at the top of the support pillar. 

 
 

  Sliding mechanism of the stage plate

 

The sliding parts are mounted on the base part for mounting the stage plate, which can be slid by loosening the stage 
plate fixing screw. There is a clearance gap of approximately 3 mm around the stage plate when the stage is securely set. 
The stage plate can be smoothly and finely moved within the clearance gap by loosening the stage plate fixing screw. 
This mechanism is useful for positioning, especially for high-magnification observation. 
Securely fix the stage plate in place using the fixing screw when this mechanism does not need to be used.

P-DSL32 LED Diascopic Illumination Stand 

 

  Power supply and illumination control 

Power to the P-DSL32 LED Diascopic Illumination Stand is supplied by connecting a P2-CTLB Control Box or a 12 V AC 
adapter. To provide diascopic illumination without using a control box, connect a 12 V AC adapter. 
Turn on or off the LED diascopic illumination using the LED power ON/OFF switch at the front of the base. 
Adjust illumination using the LED brightness control dial on the base. To enable adjustment using the LED brightness 
control dial on the base, the LED brightness control selection switch must be turned off. 

[When the power is supplied from a control box] 

When a P2-CTLB Control Box is connected to the base, turn on the LED brightness control selection switch. In this state, 
diascopic illumination can be turned on or off, brightness can be controlled, and light intensity can be monitored from the 
control box. 
Actual control is carried out by the PC (software: NIS-Elements) connected to the control box. 
Note that illumination cannot be controlled from the control box, even if the LED brightness control selection switch is 
turned on, unless the LED power ON/OFF switch on the base is turned on. Be sure to turn on the LED power ON/OFF 
switch.
