Chapter 23 includes instructions for replacing the filter cube in the X1 port adapter that splits
the emission light onto the two APDs.
9.4 Leica APD Detector Unit
Two APDs (of type AQR from Perkin Elmer) are located in the Leica APD detector unit
(
Figure 22 ). They are linked to the X1 port adapter on the scan head using optical fibers. At
the APD detector unit, the APDs can be switched on independently of one another
(
Figure 22, item 1 and 2 ). In addition to the switches for the APDs, the front side of the control
unit also includes indicators for the power supply ( Figure 22, item 3 ). The power switch itself
is on the rear of the APD detector unit ( Figure 22, item 5 ).

The photon counting signal generated by the APDs is recorded by the PicoHarp 300 and
analyzed by a second workstation using SymPhoTime software.
