FL attenuator discrete mot. for reflected light
−
Use the FL attenuator, discrete, to attenuate the
light in the fluorescence path when using the
HBO 100.
−
Before inserting the FL attenuator, first activate
the click-stop mechanism (Fig. 82/
1
) by pushing
it in. At the right-hand front end (Fig. 82/
2
) a
small silver plate becomes visible. Then, push
the FL attenuator into the corresponding slot
until you hear it click into place.
−
To remove the FL attenuator, insert a
screwdriver into the top hole (Fig. 82/
2
) and
push in the silver plate to deactivate the click-
stop mechanism. Slightly cant the screwdriver in
the hole and pull the FL attenuator out of the
slot.
−
The FL attenuator has six positions that can be set by pushing buttons (Fig. 82/
3
) or (Fig. 82
) for
forwards or backwards.
Motorized focusing drive coarse / fine (Fig. 80/8), on both sides of stand
−
This is operated manually by turning the coarse or fine focusing controls (on both sides of stand)
which act on an electric encoder, or by the AxioVision 4.3 software.

−
Swiveling in / out the front lens (Fig. 83/

)
using button (Fig. 83/

)
−
Rotating the condenser turret clockwise by
means of button (Fig. 83/

), anticlockwise by
means of button (Fig. 83/

)
Button for quick-action stage lowering to
LOAD POSITION (Fig. 80/14 or 22)
−
Upon actuation of this button, the stage will be
lowered slightly to move it out of the focus
position. The current focus position will be
saved.
−
The specimen can be changed.
Once the motorized focusing drive
(Fig. 80/
14
) is moved to the load
position, the saved operating position is
deleted and the current position saved
instead.
