Condenser carrier (Fig. 76/23)
−
The condenser carrier (Fig. 77/
6
) is part of the
stage carrier (Fig. 77/
5
).
−
Insert the condenser in the mount of the
condenser carrier and fasten it by means of
clamping screw (Fig. 77/
2
).
−
To center the condenser, turn the two centering
screws (Fig. 77/
1
).
−
Turn the height adjustment control (Fig. 77/
4
)
to adjust the condenser (condenser carrier) in
the Z-axis.
−
The clamping screw (Fig. 77/
3
) limits the top
adjustment range of the condenser. The limit
facilitates finding the KÖHLER illumination
position again.
Polarizer for transmitted light (Fig. 76/24)
Various types of transmitted-light polarizers are
available: with fixed or rotatable polarizer or with
additional lambda or lambda/4 plate or with
additional neutral filter position (cf. system
overview of Axio Imager 2, Section 2.4).
•
Using handle (Fig. 78/
3
) swing the polarizer
1
) (or the neutral filter position, if
necessary) into the light path until it is securely
fixed by the detent bolt (Fig. 78/
4
).
•
If available, rotate the lambda plate or the
lambda/4 plate by a maximum of 45 degrees to
the right or left by moving lever (Fig. 78/
2
).
The color filter carrier is operated the
same way as the polarizer.
