3.4 Installation Conditions
The ambient conditions (humidity, temperature, pressure) specified in the Instruction Manual
should be adhered to.
When documenting fluorescence preparations, do not expose the Microscope to direct sunlight.
This helps to minimize the influence of stray light.
For prolonged experimental procedures using the Microscope (e.g. involving incubation or long
image-recording procedures) choose an installation location with minimum vibration.
Vibration stemming e.g. from forced ventilation, floor impact noise or other shocks can have an
impact on the supplementary modules of the Microscope, some of which react sensitively. It can
also lead to reduced image quality and experimental errors.
To reduce vibrations at the microscope installation location, ZEISS offers various passive and active
damping options; small, air-damped system table, table top mat TS 150).
Select an installation site which is as temperature-stable as possible for long-term observations.
For reliable long-term observations, the Microscope must first warm up. The temperature equilib-
rium is attained within 3-5 hours, depending on the light source, electronics and room tempera-
ture control. This time must be planned into critical studies.
The following requirements apply regarding installation of the Microscope:
§
The distance of the Microscope to the wall should be at least 15 cm, in order to ensure suffi-
cient air circulation and accessibility of the cabling.
§ The dimensions of Primostar 3 stands are shown in the following figures.
