Changing the beam splitter in the reflector module FL P&C
In mounting filters and beam splitters, take extreme care to prevent damage to and
contamination of the optical components.
We recommend ordering completely equipped FL
P&C reflector modules, since changing the beam
splitter is quite demanding.
However, if you should choose to change the
beam splitter, follow this procedure:
•
Remove the FL P&C reflector module from the
reflector turret (also refer to Section 3.19.2).
•
Undo the two slotted screws (3-25/
1
) with a
screwdriver.
•
Hold both halves of the reflector module
together (
emission
2
)
and
excitation
half (3-25/
3
), turn in the position
opposite to the installation position and put it
down.
•
Tip up the
excitation
half of the module
1
), which now is on top, and remove it
from the retaining pins (3-26/
5b
) on the bottom
emission half of the module (3-26/
4
).
•
Remove beam splitter (3-26/
2
) and spring-
loaded frame (3-26/
3
) from the bottom half of
the module.
•
Remove the old beam splitter and carefully
place the new one onto the spring-loaded
frame (3-26/
3
) with the reflective side facing up
and place both parts together into the bottom
half of the module. Take care to ensure that the
side tongue of the spring-loaded frame is in the
appropriate recess in the bottom half of the
module.
