HAL 100 halogen illuminator
The HAL 100 illuminator is used as the light source
for transmitted-light and reflected-light procedures
(except fluorescence) on the Axio Imager. The
method for attaching the halogen illuminator to
the reflected-light or transmitted-light socket is the
same in both cases.
3.29.1
Attaching the HAL 100 halogen
illuminator
Before using the halogen illuminator,
the halogen lamp replacement tool
should first be removed from the
housing. Otherwise, it might be
damaged by heat (refer to
Section 3.29.4)
•
Remove the protective cap from the reflected-
light or transmitted-light socket.
•
Insert the dovetail mount of the lamp housing
(Fig. 43/
9
) into the corresponding socket
2
or Fig. 43/
6
) and, using the SW 3 ball-
headed screwdriver, tighten it with clamping
screw (Fig. 43/
1
or Fig. 43/
8
).
•
Insert the 3-pole lamp plug (Fig. 43/
7
) into the
3-pole 12 V / 100 W socket (Fig. 43/
3
– for
reflected light or
5
- for transmitted
light) on the back of the instrument.
•
Switch the toggle switch for transmitted /
reflected light (Fig. 43/
4
) to the required
position. If the motorized stand is used, switch
between reflected light and transmitted light
using the TFT display touch screen.
The halogen illuminators installed for reflected light and transmitted light can only be switched
on alternately.
The light manager functionality depends on the position of the toggle switch.
