Light Manager of the coded microscope
The Light Manager of the manual microscope controls the light intensity for object observation via the
lamp voltage. The functioning depends on the used Light Control:
Light-Control, manual
Light-Control, motorized
Lamp voltage is saved for each
−
Objective nosepiece position (coded)
Lamp voltage is saved for each
−
Objective nosepiece position (coded)
−
Reflector turret position (coded)
−
Tube lens turret position (motorized)
On manual stands, always the CLASSIC mode of the Light Manager is active. In this mode, no
illumination values are computed for the range of objectives used. The operator adjusts the brightness for
every objective individually. Permanent storage is performed by pressing the
LM-Set
button on the rear
side of microscope. This must be done for every objective individually.
When an objective is swung into the light path, for which the light intensity had been adjusted before
already, the system will automatically set the corresponding stored value.
The light intensity settings of halogen lamp or LED illuminator are stored separately each for transmitted
and reflected light. If the Light Manager shall be used for reflected-light contrast methods, make sure to
set the voltage selector on the back right of the stand to reflected light before. Otherwise, the Light
Manager will interpret the configuration of the stand as if fluorescence illumination has been configured.
If a motorized neutral-density double filter wheel has been configured in reflected light, it will be set to
100% transmission and is thus inactive.
On the manual stands Axio Imager.A2, .A2m, .D2, .D2m, the Light Manager can be deactivated
temporarily. To this end, you must keep the RL reflected-light shutter on/off button (4-1/
11
)
depressed while switching on the microscope.
