Removing and Inserting the Detection Optics Unit
In order to remove the detection optics unit (Fig. 36/
3
) located in the rear zone of the system cavity, the
sample chamber must first be removed (see Section 3.4). To prevent damage to the illumination optics
units, these must also be removed (see Section 3.9.1). Secure the appropriate protective cap (Fig. 36/
4
)
onto the detection optics unit.
Grab the detection optics unit as close as possible to the base and remove it by turning anticlockwise.
Caution: the detection optics unit is heavy.
To insert the detection optics unit, it must be screwed in a clockwise direction without exerting force.
Subsequently the protective cap should be removed before re-inserting the illumination optics unit and
the sample chamber.
After the detection optic has been exchanged, the currently used optic must be registered in the ZEN
software. The necessary software interface can be found in the Objectives tool window under the
Maintain tab.
Each detection optic unit is labeled with an individual serial number. It ensures that the specific
calibration file for this lens, necessary for optimal performance, is used when identified within the
software. The calibration file is created by a Carl Zeiss service personnel representative during system
installation, or when a detection optic is newly purchased. Ensure that the correct detection optic unit is
chosen in the ZEN software interface, based on its name and the specific serial number of the detection
optic in use.
