OPERATION
Colibri 7 Controlling the Colibri 7 solid-state light source ZEISS
02/2017 423052-7344-001 25
If the brightness of several LEDs is controlled simultaneously, the LEDs which are switched on
are controlled relative to each other. Thus, various adjustment values may be displayed for the
LEDs. If an LED reaches 100 % it cannot be set to a higher value. The remaining LEDs can be
controlled simultaneously, until they have reached their maximum at 100 %.
If the (sun) button is activated, further LEDs will be automatically controlled when switched
on.
If RL and TL are switched on at the same time, the selector wheel on the microscope stand will
control the intensity of the selected LEDs. To control TL illumination intensity, the RL shutter
must be closed.
