Naturally, custom combinations are also possible in addition to these predefined filter combinations.
These can be specified via the
User defined filter set
menu item. In order to use the user-defined filter
set later on the microscope in a reproducible way, the CLASSIC MODE must first be selected for the light
manager in the settings page on the TFT. This mode allows you to define and save your own filter
settings for each objective. To do this, press the
LM SET
button after making each setting (see
Section 4.8.6.2 page 142).
4.11.3
Configuration of motorized condensers
It is also possible to occupy some positions of the universal condensers. This information is used by the
contrast and lighting managers to generate reproducible settings for the user.
The equipment of the universal condensers is defined using the MTB 2011 config.exe configuration
program.
Other options can be set for the DIC and the DF position: the number of the prism, a polarizer or a plate
can be selected. When applied, these options require a different action from the light manager or
contrast manager.
If a DIC prism with the corresponding number is selected, the contrast manager registers which position
is swivelled in. The configuration of a polarizer allows the polarization contrast on the TFT to be set later
(permitting motorized Pol contrast). Configuration of the plate is useful if work is carried out in
transmitted light with a LED light source and there is no additional shutter in the beam path. In this case,
the plate is incorporated in the light channel and thus serves as a shutter. If fluorescent light is activated,
the plate is automatically swivelled as a TL light path shutter into the beam path. This prevents excitation
of the LED lamp and thus unintended exposure of the sample by the light source in the DL light path.
