3.3.3 Changing the Filter Set in the FL
P&C Reflector Module
The customer can put together and install the filter
sets for the FL P&C reflector module individually.
Appropriate filter sets or even completely
assembled FL P&C reflector modules can be
ordered from Carl Zeiss.
• Take the FL P&C (Fig. 3-28/
3
) reflector module
out of the reflector turret and set it down. (See
also Section 3.1.9.)
• Use the mounting plate (Fig. 3-28/
6
) from the
tool kit to screw out the retaining ring
(Fig. 3-28/
1 ).
• Turn over the reflector module to let the filter
(Fig. 3-28/
2 or 5 ) fall out onto a soft surface.
• Insert the barrier filter (emission filter) as shown in (Fig. 3-28/
2
) and the excitation filter as shown in
(Fig. 3-28/ 5 ), and then secure them with the retaining rings (Fig. 3-28/ 1 ).
Both the barrier filter and the excitation filter may carry their designation and an arrow on the
circumference. The arrow, which must always point inwards, indicates the direction in which the filter in
question is to be installed into the reflector module. (See arrows in Fig. 3-28.)
With a view to minimizing the image shift in multifluorescence images, the barrier filter may be provided
with another marking, i.e., a marking that indicates the position of the wedge angle.
When installing the barrier filter into the reflector modules used, be sure to align that marking to the
orientation groove (Fig. 3-28/
4
). This ensures that the wedge angle of the barrier filter will be in the same
defined position in the reflector module in use, thus compensating, among modules, for and/or
minimizing what is actually a very small image shift anyway in the Zeiss filter sets utilized.
