Objective Heater Universal – Silver Line
5 Operation
Before starting an experiment, check that the Objective Heater fits your microscope objectives (see
Section
1.5 ).
CAUTION
Not all objectives/lenses tolerate heat! Please check with the manufacturer of
your objective if it can be heated.
NOTE
– The Temperature Controller controls the temperature of the Objective Heater ac-
cording to the sensor inside the heating unit of the Objective Heater. As the Objective Heater
dissipates heat to the objective and the sample, the temperature of the Objective Heater is typ-
ically set higher than the target temperature of the sample. In order to adjust the temperature
within the sample to a specific target temperature follow the instructions in Section
5.3 .
5.1 Installation and Connection of the Objective Heater Universal – Silver Line
Objectives come in different sizes and lengths, depending on manufacturer and magnification. Hence,
there are two different ways to mount the Objective Heater to a microscope objective (Figure
2 ).
1. Test if the heating unit creates a significant overlap when wrapped around the objective. If there
is no overlap, proceed with steps 2A and 3A. If there is an overlap, which is not optimal for homoge-
nous heating, proceed with steps 2B and 3B.
2A. Thread the blue end of the Velcro
®
fastener through the metal buckle and create a loose loop that
can be easily placed over the objective.
3A. Bend the heating unit of the Objective Heater around the objective, the cable directing towards
the revolving nosepiece (turret) of the microscope. Next, place the Velcro
®
fastener around the heat-
ing unit while holding it in place, and secure the Objective Heater in the desired position by closing
the Velcro
®
.
2B. Thread the blue end of the Velcro
®
fastener as well as one end of the heating unit carefully through
the metal buckle and create a loose loop that can be easily placed over the objective.
3B. Place the Objective Heater around the objective, the cable directing towards the revolving nose-
piece (turret) of the microscope. Fasten the Velcro
®
fastener and heating unit around the objective so
that there is enough contact between heating unit and objective. Close the Velcro
®
.
4. Connect the electrical cable of the Objective Heater to port 3 or 6 at the back of the Temperature
Controller.
