Removing the Scintillation Plate Holder
Replacing the Scintillation Plate Holder
There may be occasions when the scintillation plate holder has to be removed for replacement or for
a more thorough cleaning than can be accomplished in situ. This appendix explains how to remove
the holder.
For this procedure, you will need the 9/64" Hex screw driver from the Scintillation Maintenance Kit
(PN 126373) or a looped T-handle Hex key (CLS138501) that was provided with the IVIS Lumina
XRMS Series III Imaging System. This kit also contains some additional screws in case some are lost
when conducting this procedure. If screws are lost inside the imaging chamber, you should try to
recover them to prevent damage to the mechanisms under the stage.
