−
To remove the filter wheel, introduce a screwdriver into the top hole, slightly cant it and pull the filter
wheel out of its slot.
−
The positions of the two filter wheels are labeled and are set by turning the knurled wheels. Any
combination of filters can be used.
Slot for FL attenuator, discrete (Fig. 76/9)
−
To attenuate the fluorescence path when using the HBO 100, the FL attenuator, discrete should be
used.
−
When the FL attenuator is inserted, the clamping spring points upward.
−
To remove the FL attenuator, introduce a screwdriver into the top hole, slightly cant it and pull the
FL attenuator out of its receptacle.
−
The FL attenuator has six labeled positions that are set by turning the knurled wheel.
RL button - Reflected light shutter on / off (Fig. 76/11) with monitoring LED
−
Alternately opens or blocks the reflected-light path; function corresponds to Fig. 76/
30
.
−
The monitoring LED lights up when the shutter is open.
3200K button - Color temperature 2300 K on / off (Fig. 76/12) with monitoring LED
−
Adjusts the connected halogen lamp to the voltage corresponding to the color temperature of
3200 K. A color temperature of 3200 K is necessary for color photographs.
−
The monitoring LED lights up when the color temperature of 3200 K is set.
TL button – Transmitted-light shutter on / off (Fig. 76/13)
−
Alternately opens or blocks the transmitted-light path; function corresponds to Fig. 76/
29
.
−
The monitoring LED lights up when the shutter is open.
Light-intensity control (Fig. 76/14)
−
Used to adjust the d.c. voltage supply of the halogen illuminator in the range of approx. 1.8 to 12 V;
function corresponds to Fig. 76/
34
and
35
.
−
The annularly arranged LED's indicate the set voltage in 15 stages.
Slot for double filter wheel, discrete (Fig. 76/15)
−
When using the HAL 100 halogen illuminator, the double filter wheel, discrete, can be used for light-
intensity adjustment. The unit contains four filter positions each (neutral filters) mounted on two filter
wheels.
−
When inserting the filter wheel, the clamping spring points upward.
−
To remove the filter wheel, introduce a screwdriver into the top hole, slightly cant it and pull the filter
wheel out of its slot.
−
The positions of the two filter wheels are labeled and are set by turning the knurled wheels. Any
combination of filters can be used.
Lever for transmitted-light diffusion disk (Fig. 76/16)
−
Lever in top position:
Diffusion disk in light path
−
Lever in bottom position: Diffusion disk not in light path
Control wheel for luminous-field diaphragm (Fig. 76/17)
−
Control wheel for continuous adjustment of the luminous-field diaphragm (transmitted light)
Focusing drive – Fine focusing control (Fig. 76/18), right-hand side
−
Focusing drive for fine focusing
−
1 revolution of fine focusing control = 0.1 revolution of coarse-focusing control
Focusing drive – Coarse focusing control (Fig. 76/19), right-hand side
−
Focusing knob for coarse focusing
−
1 revolution of coarse focusing control = approx. 2 mm
−
Total focusing range: approx. 24 mm
