[. . . ] The power unit is set automatically to the line voltage available. Fig. 3-12 Axio Imager, motorized 3. 1. 11 HAL 100 halogen illuminator The HAL 100 illuminator is used as light source for transmitted-light and reflected-light techniques (except fluorescence) on the Axio Imager. [. . . ] 3-12 Axio Imager, motorized 3. 1. 11 HAL 100 halogen illuminator The HAL 100 illuminator is used as light source for transmitted-light and reflected-light techniques (except fluorescence) on the Axio Imager. Attachment to the reflected-light or transmittedlight socket is performed analogously. 3. 1. 11. 1 Attaching the HAL 100 halogen illuminator · Remove the protective cap from the reflected- light or transmitted light socket. · Insert the dovetail mount of the lamp housing (3-13/9) into the corresponding socket (3-13/2 or 3-13/6) and, using the SW 3 ball-headed screwdriver, tighten it with clamping screw (3-13/1 or 3-13/8). · Insert 3-pole lamp plug (3-13/7) into 3-pole Fig. 3-13 Attaching the HAL 100 halogen illuminator 12 V/100 W connector (3-13/3 ­ for reflected light or 3-13/5 - for transmitted light) on the back of the instrument. · Switch the toggle switch for transmitted/ reflected light (3-13/4) to the required position. The light manager functionality depends on the position of the toggle switch. 32 B 46-0046 e 04/05 Axio Imager START-UP Initial start-up Carl Zeiss 3. 1. 11. 2 Adjusting the HAL 100 halogen illuminator (1) Coarse adjustment remove the operational halogen illuminator from the microscope stand. · Loosen clamping screw (3-13/1 or 3-13/8) and · Switch on microscope as described in Section 4. 3. · Direct the light beam to a projection surface (wall) that is at least 3 m away. Do not look into the light exit aperture of the illuminator. · Using the SW 3 ball-headed screwdriver turn adjusting screw (3-14/3) until both images of the lamp filament appear as sharp as possible on the projection surface. · Then, turn adjusting screws (3-14/4 and 5) until Fig. 3-14 Adjusting the HAL 100 halogen illuminator the lamp filament of one image exactly fills the gaps of the reflected filament image (3-14/1). (2) Fine adjustment · Reattach the microscope illuminator to the microscope stand and lock it with the clamping screw. · Reattach the lamp carrier sliding it in until it snaps in noticeably. 3. 2. 11 Installing the LED illuminator for transmitted light The LED illuminator for transmitted light can be installed optionally on the transmitted light port on the rear side of the instrument or on the bottom of the condenser carrier. The LED illuminator delivers light of constant color temperature independent of the set light intensity. CAUTION The LED illuminator is a Class 2 laser device. Do not look directly into the LED light. Fig. 3-40 Installing the LED illuminator Installing the LED illuminator on the transmitted light port · Loosen clamping screw (3-40/1) on transmitted-light port (3-40/2). · Disconnect the illuminator plug from the 12 V/100 W connector (transmitted light) on the back of the instrument. · Insert adapter optics for LED illuminator (3-40/3) in the transmitted-light port with the slant pointing down and tighten the clamping screw. · Screw LED illuminator (3-40/4) onto the adapter optics using the provided Allen screws (3-40/5). · Push slider with diffusion disk 10° (3-40/6) into LED illuminator.
