For dismounting the lamps, T-PMT or switching mirror slightly unscrew the contact ring first (Fig. 18/
2
) so
it can be moved away from the sensor ring (Fig. 17). Then unscrew the lamp, T-PMT or switching mirror
turning the main screw which is in one of the recesses of the sensor ring (Fig. 17). Hold the device to be
dismounted with one hand while unscrewing to keep it from dropping. The now empty port has to be
closed with the blind cap (Fig. 19) to restore the functionality of the system.
Use the main screw of the
port to fix the cap. Make sure the pins of the cap depress the sensors of the sensor ring.
Do not remove the sensor ring from the microscope. This might result in failure of laser safety and
a non operating system.
For mounting any lamp, T-PMT or the switching
mirror back onto the microscope reverse the steps
for dismounting the device. Be careful not to bend
the pins on the contact ring when screwing the
device onto the microscope port.
For the Axio Observer.Z1 transmission port and the
two ports available on the motorized switching
mirror no sensor ring is present. Instead the sen-
sors are directly installed at the Axio Observer.Z1
transmission port or the two ports of the
motorized switching mirror.
