Changing Diaphragms in Sliders
The positions toward the outside of the slider can
each be fitted with Ph phase stops or PlasDIC slit
diaphragms.
The middle position is fitted with a neutral filter
(Fig. 3-26/
4
) as a default. Alternatively, this
position may be fitted with one of the two
diffusion disks, depending on the objective used.
For that, the neutral filter must be removed.
In sliders featuring a VAREL diaphragm, the
diaphragm is factory-fitted and cannot be
changed. Solely the phase stop or slit diaphragm
position may be varied.
Inserting Ph Phase Stops
•
Turn back the centering screws (Fig. 3-26/
6
).
•
Insert the Ph stop (Fig. 3-26/
3
) by pressing it
obliquely against the leaf spring (Fig. 3-26/
5
).
•
Turn the centering screws in until the stop is
securely fixed and rests almost centrically in the
mount.
Inserting PlasDIC Slit Diaphragms
•
Turn the centering screws (Fig. 3-26/
6
)
completely out of the mount hole.
•
Place the slit diaphragm (Fig. 3-26/
2
) into the
mount. Use the recess (Fig. 3-26/
7
) on the slider
and the pin (Fig. 3-26/
1
) on the side of the
module to fix the diaphragm in its position.
If the slider is operated crosswise (Fig. 3-27/
2
) to
the microscope axis (Fig. 3-27/
1
), be sure to move
the pin to the L-R (left-right) position. Use the F-B
(front-back) position for operating the slider in the
longitudinal axis.
If you wish to change the slider application
direction, be sure to turn the slit diaphragm as
well.
When micromanipulators are used, the longitudinal axis (Fig. 3-27/
1
) is the
recommended slider application direction.
