Assembly with light bracket S:
•
Loosen the screws of the light bracket
segments (Fig. 39/
3 ) until all joints can be
easily moved.
•
Align the spotlight to the object.
•
Carefully fasten the screws of the segments.
Start with the segment directly on the
microscope and work up to the light guide.
−
Assembly with articulated arm S:
•
Loosen the clamp screw of the articulated
arm (Fig. 40/
3 ) until all joints can be moved.
•
Align the spotlight to the object.
•
Carefully tighten the clamping screw.
Progressive clamping of the articulated arm
holder S enables the joints to be
clamped/loosened consecutively (not
simultaneously).
Correct the alignment of the spot as
necessary while observing the object
through the eyepieces.
The flatter the spot lights up the
object, the stronger the 3D effect, but
also shadow formation.
Two-arm spotlights can also be installed to illuminate the object from both sides. Individual
spots create dark drop shadows, double spots and brightened double shadows.
