MOTORIZED REFLECTED LIGHT

BRIGHTFIELD/DARKFIELD ILLUMINATOR

This instruction manual is for the Olympus Motorized Reflected Light Brightfield/Darkfield Illuminator
Model BX-RLAA. The BX-RLAA is capable of brightfield and darkfield observations under the reflected
light when it is installed on the BX61TRF system microscope frame. To ensure the safety, obtain opti-
mum performance and to familiarize yourself fully with the use of this unit, we recommend that you
study this manual thoroughly before operating the microscope. Retain this instruction manual in an
easily accessible place near the work desk for future reference.
