The exchange of the detection modules on your Lightsheet Z.1 can be divided into two parts. One deals
with the actual mounting and dismounting of the detection modules and their connections to the
system. The second part deals with the registration and alignment of the detection module using specific
software tools.
The Lightsheet Z.1 must be
completely turned off
before changing detection modules.
No sample, capillary or similar object must be in the beam path while the alignment and calibration
tasks are performed.
1)
Dismounting and Mounting of Detection Modules
−
Disconnect all cables from the detection module.
−
The connection of the liquid cooling can stay in place, but the power plug for the liquid cooling
unit must be pulled when the detection module is not in use.
−
Now disconnect all cables from the Lightsheet Z.1 system and the PC for system control. Even if the
detection modules are regularly switched no cable should remain on the system.
−
Hold the detection module firmly in one hand.
−
Loosen the securing screw with an Allen wrench (Fig. 3/
3
) on the sensor ring (Fig. 3/
12
) of the
detector port (Fig. 3/
1
and
2
).
−
Carefully pull away the detection module (Fig. 3/
8
) with contact ring (Fig. 3/
9
) using a slight tilting
motion if necessary.
−
Cover the detector port (Fig. 3/
1
and
2
) on the main system module Lightsheet Z.1 and on the
detection module with the caps provided (Fig. 3/
6
).
−
For mounting the new detection module, proceed in the reverse order. Tighten the securing screw
(Fig. 3/
3
) on the sensor ring (Fig. 3/
12
) of the detector port (Fig. 3/
1
and
2
) without applying force.
−
With the detection module "PCO.Edge," note that part of the optics projects beyond the contact
ring. To protect it from damage and fingerprints, first push the optics into the port and then
connect the contact ring to the sensor ring.
−
Connect all necessary cables to the detection module, the Lightsheet Z.1 and the PC for system
control (see section
3.2.4 Cable Connections for the Detection Module "PCO.Edge" and
3.2.5, Cable Connections for the Detection Module "Standard"
−
Use the cable holder (Fig. 3/
3
) on the system table to connect the cables (Fig. 3/
1
) of the detection
modules without tension.
