Mounting or replacing the 35 W
halogen lamp or the 10 W LED
illuminator for transmitted light
Axiolab 5 stands are equipped with a 10W LED
white light for transmitted illumination. The LED
illuminator can be alternatively changed to a 35W
Halogen lamp.
To insert or replace the halogen lamp/LED
illuminator, proceed as follows:
Removing the cover
•
Switch off the microscope, remove the power
cord on the microscope and allow it to cool
down at least 15 min.
•
Press the clamping jaw (Fig. 3-15/
1
) on the
cover (Fig. 3-15/
2
) downwards. Swing the cover
down, remove from the retaining channels on
the stand and set aside.
Changing the halogen lamp
•
Remove the lamp plug (Fig. 3-16/
3
) from the
halogen lamp (Fig. 3-16/
2
).
•
Press the loops (Fig. 3-16/
1
) on the securing
clips of the lamp holder together and swing
them out to the front.
•
When changing the lamp, remove the old one
(Fig. 3-16/
2
).
•
Position the new lamp with the lower front
edge between the contact surface and securing
clips.
•
Lift the securing clips (Fig. 3-16/
1
) of the lamp holder with the lamp until they are completely enclosed
in the lamp holder. In doing so, slightly press the ends of the securing clips together and guide past
the two upper retaining elements. Release the pressure until the clamping bracket opens and engages
on both sides in the retaining elements.
•
Check that the lamp is seated correctly and push the lamp plug (Fig. 3-16/
3
) onto the pins of the lamp
2
). Ensure that it engages properly to avoid bending the pins.
•
Insert the cable of the lamp plug into the stand so that it is not damaged when the cover is attached.
