Aligning the HBO 100 illuminator
The HBO
100 illuminator is available in two
versions (manual and automatic alignment).
The self-adjusting HBO
100 (423011-0000-000)
will be aligned automatically after switching on the
transformer of the illuminator.
The alignment of the HBO 100 illuminator to be
aligned manually (423010-0000-000) is described
below.
If the FL attenuator (manual or
motorized) is in the reflected-light
path, set it to 100% transmission for
illuminator alignment.
•
Switch on the HBO 100 illuminator (3-47/
1
) via
the HBO 100 transformer (4-10/
2
) and allow it
to warm up to the operating temperature.
•
Pull out adjusting aid (3-46/
1
) on microscope
stand. The brighter arc spot of the HBO 103
W/2 lamp and its slightly darker reflected image
become visible in the black-glass window of the
adjusting aid.
•
Turn the knurled knob (3-47/
4
) for collector
adjustment to focus the brighter arc spot.
•
Use the adjusting screws (3-47/
2
and
3
) to
adjust the darker arc spot (reflected arc image)
according to the arc spot illustration (3-46/
2
)
within the marked alignment circle.
•
Push in the adjusting aid again.
The two arc spots of the HBO 103 W/2
lamp in the alignment circle of the
adjusting aid should be closely side by
side!
