Installing the switching mirror for two illuminators (manual or motorized)
With the aid of a switching mirror, two illuminators can be connected to the reflected-light port of the
Axio Imager stand simultaneously, e.g., a halogen illuminator (HAL 100) and a fluorescence illuminator
(HBO 100).
While the manual switching mirror can be used on all Axio Imager stands, the motorized switching mirror
may only be employed on the M1/M2 or Z1/Z2 stands (firmware version 01.318 or higher).
6
) on the upper side of the manual switching mirror serves to switch manually
between the two illuminators.
The motorized switching mirror can be controlled either through the operator buttons on the stand, the
touch screen on the TFT display or, if a PC is connected, through the AxioVision software (Release 4.6 or
higher). Control via the CAN/USB converter is not possible.
To install the switching mirror, proceed as follows:
•
If necessary, remove the illuminator already mounted. To do so, grip the illuminator firmly and loosen
the locking screw (3-48/
2
) on the reflected-light port (3-48/
1
), using ball-headed screwdriver SW 3.
•
Insert the switching mirror (3-35/
4
or
8
) with the dovetail ring into the port (3-48/
1
). Align it (with the
mounts for the two illuminators pointing to the right and left, respectively) and fix it with the locking
screw (3-48/
2
).
•
Plug the connecting cable of the motorized switching mirror into a free CAN connector on the back of
the stand.
•
Loosen the right locking screw and the left locking screw (3-48/
5
and
7
, respectively) on the switching
mirror. Remove the protective caps and attach the two illuminators, e.g., HAL 100 (3-48/
3
) and
HBO 100 (3-48/
9
), to the switching mirror, in the same way as if they were mounted directly onto the
microscope. Then, fasten them with the relevant locking screw (3-48/
5
or
7
).
•
Next, connect the illuminators electrically to the stand and the power supply unit, respectively.
