−
The motorized camera path deflection (100:0/50:50) is exclusively operated via the TFT display.
CAUTION
Switch off the microscope before insterting stop slider mot., filter wheel 2x mot. and FL
attenuator discrete mot. into the corresponding slots.
Slot F for stop slider mot. (4-5/3) with centerable luminous-field diaphragm
−
The motorized stop slider is to be inserted analogously to the motorized filter wheel 2x discrete mot.
and the FL attenuator discrete mot.

The diaphragm is opened or closed by pushing the respective button on the slider.
Slot for 2-position filter wheel, discrete mot.
for reflected light (4-5/4) and transmitted light
(4-5/7)

When using the HAL 100 halogen illuminator in
the reflected-light and the transmitted-light
path, the filter wheel 2x discrete mot. can be
used for brightness adjustment. This filter wheel
module contains four filters each (neutral-
density filters) on two filter wheels.
Caution
Neutral-density filters are not suitable
for fluorescence applications as they
may be damaged by the light used.
−
Before inserting the filter wheel module, first
activate the click-stop mechanism (4-6/
1
) by
pushing in. At the right-hand front end (4-6/
2

a small silver plate becomes visible. Then, push
the filter wheel module into the corresponding
slot until you hear it click into place.
−
To remove the filter wheel module, introduce a screwdriver into the top hole (4-6/
2
) and push in the
silver plate to deactivate the click-stop mechanism. Slightly cant the screwdriver in the hole and pull
the filter wheel module out of the slot.
−
Adjust the desired positions of the filter wheels by pushing the top (4-6/
3
) or the bottom button
4
). When the filter wheel module has been removed, the selected transmission can be read from
5
). The positions of the two integrated filter wheels can be combined optionally
with each another.
