PARALENS ADAPTER SYSTEMS:
INTRODUCTION:
The ParaLens is a complete epi-
fl
uorescence microscopy system. Contained
within the system are the necessary objectives,
fi
lter, and beamsplitter
for use during
fl
uorescent microscopy. The standard con
fi
guration of the
objective is appropriate for
∞
tube length microscopes.
,
CAUTION:
The ParaLens System uses a Class 2 LED product. Never stare into
OptiLume Light Source or adapter when ParaLens is turned “ON”

PARALENS INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
The ParaLens Adapter – see
fi
gure 1 below – is equipped with
a threaded end (Item 2) that turns
freely within the ParaLens body
(Item 1). To install ParaLens
onto a standard microscope
begin by aligning the threaded
end of the ParaLens Adapter
with threaded screw holes in
the microscope nosepiece. Turn ParaLens Adapter clockwise to engage threads
on microscope nosepiece. Continue until ParaLens Adapter is securely fastened to
nosepiece of microscope.
The ParaLens Adapter may be rotated to any desired position and secured at given
location by tightening the set screw (Item 5) with provided ParaLens screwdriver. It is
not necessary to tighten the set screw for the ParaLens to function properly.
The ParaLens OptiLume Light Source must now be attached to the ParaLens Adapter.
OPTILUME LIGHT SOURCE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
Begin by removing the ParaLens Adapter thumb screw (Item 6, Figure 1).
Slide the ParaLens OptiLume Light Source onto the
ParaLens Adapter.
Tighten thumb screw (Item 1, Figure 2) on ParaLens
Optilume Light Source to secure the OptiLume Light
Source onto the ParaLens Adapter.
If using power pack, select proper wall adapter
and connect to power pack by aligning the tabs on
the adapter with the slot on the power pack. Push
together and slide downward. Power pack and
adapter are connected when a “snap” is heard.
Plug power pack into ParaLens Optilume light source
at insertion point (Item 2, Figure 2).
Plug power pack into an approved electrical
outlet.
Be sure that outlet is always within reach as line cord is the means of
emergency disconnection.
The ParaLens Fluorescence Microscopy System should now be completely installed.
A blue light should now be visible below the ParaLens objective.
