With the second-generation Axio Imager 2, it is possible to configure a number of positions for
the motorized condenser. This is carried out in the MTB 2011 configuration program, and the
configuration is then written directly into the condenser. The following options are available:
−
Plate – Serves as a shutter if there is no shutter in the transmitted-light path and an LED light
source is used on the lamp socket or if an LED light source is mounted directly beneath the
condenser.
−
Polarizer
−
DIC prisms
Any condenser configured by the user in this way is fully integrated in the light and contrast
manager. This means the following:
−
Plate: If the contrast manager is used, any front lens is swiveled out as soon as the
fluorescence function is selected, and the plate moved into the transmitted-light path.
−
Polarizer: If the POL contrast is selected in transmitted light, the polarizer is automatically
moved into the light path.
−
DIC prisms: The correct DIC prism is swiveled in for the chosen objective.
Tube lens turret
The
Tube lens turret settings
selection list allows
the user to choose the appropriate magnification
factor for turret positions 2, 3 and 4.
Reflected-light configuration
Whenever a motorized stop slider or an attenuator
is used in reflected light, the component in
question needs to be specified here. The settings
are transferred by restarting the instrument.
