OPERATION
Multi-observation equipment Axioskop 2 / Axioskop 2
MOT
3-48 B 40-075 e 06/98
3.5.2 Attachment of multi-observation equipment
The multi-observation equipment is designed in such a way that there is no noticeable loss in optical
image quality for the maximum of 9 viewing stations. Theoretically, up to 20 users are possible, but this
would result in considerable drawbacks in image brightness and quality.
The multi-observation equipment consists of the following:
−
Basic body (3-31/ 2 ) and two connection tubes for further viewing stations
−
Binocular tube / phototube 30°/23 (3-31/ 4 , 452340 / 452341) for upright and unreversed images
−
Power unit (3-31/ 9 ) 115 V or 230 V for voltage supply of the light pointer
−
Connecting piece R (3-31/ 11 , right) and connecting piece L (3-31/ 5 , left)
−
End connector R (3-31/ 10 , right) and end connector L (3-31/ 8 , left)
−
Binocular tubes 30°/23 for further viewing stations (3-31/ 6 and 7 , 452927)
☞
We would recommend you to have the multi-observation equipment assembled by Carl Zeiss
service staff, since careful optical adjustment and centering of the fields of view of the various
observation tubes is required. Should you want to perform assembly yourself, see section
2.2.16, "Attachment of multi-observation equipment".
The multi-observation equipment is operated via:
•
lever (3-31/ 3 ) to position the light pointer in the microscope image
•
knob (3-31/ 1 ) to control the brightness of the light pointer
The coobservation tubes can be rotated towards one another and clamped in position in the dovetail
mount to achieve as convenient a viewing position as possible. The 90° arrangement is not binding.
The focus can be corrected via the diopter setting of the foc. eyepieces both on the tube of the
Axioskop 2 and on all the other coobservation tubes.
☞
Positioning of the light pointer and its brightness control can be performed on the microscope.
