4.2.1 Batteries
When operated independently, the system is powered by six AA
(Mignon) rechargeable batteries (1.2 V/2 Ah). The system can
also be powered by non-rechargeable batteries. The battery
compartment of the opto-electronic unit does not have a charging
function. Therefore, the device can be connected to line power
even in the presence of non-rechargeable batteries.
The battery compartment is closed by an aluminum plate. Its
locking mechanism functions properly if the label “INNER FACE”
on the aluminum plate faces the batteries.
4.3 2010-A Distance Clip 60°
The 2010-A clip positions the fiberoptics end-piece relative to the
sample. The axis of the end-piece is positioned at a 60° angle
relative to the sample plane. Two different spacer rings may be
used to increase the distance between fiberoptics and sample.
In case of relative thick leaves, or when lichens and mosses are
examined, the sample may be placed below the hole of the
2010-A clip. Normal leaves are usually examined above this
