Fiber-optic slit-ring illuminators for the
nosepiece
(Fig. 34/
3
)
−
Illumination: oblique 360° reflected light
−
Application: Shadow-free illumination of large
fields, in particular in high-contrast samples.
Comfortable working with the nosepiece, as the
ring illuminator is moved when the objective is
changed.
−
Assembly: Insert the light-conducting rod onto
the ring illuminator or screw the spacer into the
objective as necessary (according to the
following table). Push the ring illuminator over
the objective, thereby inserting the light guide
sleeve on the underside of the nosepiece. Push
the ring illuminator upwards until it engages
with the light guide and secure it.
−
Insert the incoming flexible light guide as far as it will go into the light guide receptor on the
underside of the nosepiece.
Each objective requires its own ring illuminator. The incoming light guide (Fig. 34/ 1 ) always
supplies light to the ring illuminator on the currently swung-in objective (Fig. 34/
2
).
−
Unlimited change of objectives on the turret in both directions is possible.
−
The object area is free of disturbing cables or light guides.
−
The polarization filter set is unsuitable.
