Contrast tab
The desired contrast can be selected on this page,
depending on which reflector modules, condenser
modules and objectives have been configured. This
applies both to the reflected-light and transmitted-
light contrast methods.
Reflected-light fluorescence counts here as a
reflected-light method. For this reason, the second-
generation Axio Imager 2 has no
FL
button. If
motorized components are installed, the
corresponding contrast is set at the touch of the
button.
The
+
button is provided only if the active light
channels (reflected light and transmitted light) are
not controlled via the internal power supply.
The
Contrast
tab will be available only
if the contrast manager has been
switched
ON
globally.
For more information, refer to
Section 4.8.6.

Reflector tab
Depending on the reflector turret installed, 6 or 10
control elements for reflector positions 1 to 6 or 1
to 10 will appear. The reflector modules already
configured are recognizable by the text showing
on the button.
•
To swivel in the desired reflector module, press
the relevant button.
If the contrast manager is activated on this page
and if components valid for the contrast method
determined by the reflector module have been
installed, the appropriate method will be set. If this
is not possible, the contrast manager cannot be
activated at this reflector position.
The last transmitted-light contrast method to be chosen will be set at an empty or transmitted-light
position.
If an invalid reflector position is selected while the contrast manager is active, the system will travel to the
selected position, but without the contrast being adjusted. No contrast method will be displayed.
The tab will not be available if no motorized reflector turret is installed. The active reflector
module will only be indicated in the status line (Fig. 94).
