HG Controller Operation

(Shutter Controller for Visual Fluorescence Microscopy)

(1) Press the SHUTTER button to open the

shutter and start fluorescence microscopy.

(Open: LED lights, Close: LED lights out)

(2) If the sample is severely faded, press the ND

select up button to reduce the excitation light

and start microscopy.

ND values are in the range from 1 to 32.

The larger the value, the darker the

excitation light becomes.

(3) Press the SHUTTER button to close the

shutter and finish the fluorescence

microscopy.
