Construction of the illumination system 

3.4.1

 

Colibri.2 lamp module  

The  Colibri.2  lamp module can be equipped with 
up to four LED modules (Fig.  3-5/

1

) and three 

beam combiners (Fig. 3-5/

2

). 

The LED modules and beam combiners can be 

switched by the customer. 
When using an additional fiber coupled white light 

source, it is possible to toggle between the lamp 

module and the external white light source by 
means of a motorized built-in switching prism  
(Fig. 3-5/

3

, covered). 

 
 
 
 
 

3.4.2

 

Control unit 

The control unit of the lamp module contains the 

control and the power electronics.

 

At the front of the device there is the ON/OFF 
switch 

Power

 (Fig. 3-6/

1

 with pilot lamp), as well 

as a 15-pin subD port (Fig.  3-6/

2

) for the control 

panel. 
 
The rear of the control unit contains: 

 

several BNC ports; the trigger cable leading 
to the white light source has to be inserted 
in 

OUT 1

 (Fig. 3-7/

the power connection socket (Fig. 3-7/

2

 

two CAN ports (Fig.  3-7/

3

) for the 

connection to the microscope 

 

the 25-pin subD port (Fig.  3-7/

4

) for 

connecting the Colibri.2 lamp module 

 

the USB port (Fig. 3-7/

5

) for the connection 

to a PC.
