UV SHIELD
! WARNING! UV LIGHT HAZARD! This microscope uses
a Class 3B ultraviolet LED for the DAPI channel. Avoid
exposure to the UV beam and use protective shields.
NEVER look directly at light.
For your protection, follow this procedure to install the UV
safety shield before using the DAPI fluorescence channel.
1. Attach the UV shield mount to the front of the
condenser with the two screws provided.
2. Remove the protective coverings from both surfaces of
the UV shield .
3. Place the holes in the UV shield over the screws on the
mount and push the slots down on the screws to secure
the shield in place, as shown.
Note: The UV shield is removable for access to the
condenser sliders used in transmitted light
mode. Simply unhook it from the screws on the
UV mount.
ARM REST (OPTIONAL)
An optional arm rest kit is available. (See PARTS &
ACCESSORIES (p.35) for ordering information.) The arm rest
fits on either side of the stage. To attach the arm rest, it
is necessary to remove a Y-axis stage knob (right knob
shown). Store this knob in your accessories box or other
safe place.
1. Use the smaller L-shaped hex key supplied in the arm
rest kit to loosen the 2 stage knob screws .
Note: The Y-axis stage brake is on the left knob. If you are
placing the arm rest on the left side, remove the right
knob and replace it with the knob that has the stage
brake. The stage brake is useful for time lapse captures.
2. Slide the stage all the way to the side opposite the
intended arm rest position. This will expose the holes
for the arm rest screws.
3. Align the arm rest base slots over the holes as desired
and use the larger hex key to attach the base to the stage
with the arm rest screws .
4. Adjust arm rest height, if desired:
a. Pull the adjustment pin almost all the way out to
allow the arm rest post to move up or down, and
set the arm rest to the preferred height.
b. Push the adjustment pin in. It may be necessary to
move the arm rest slightly so the pin can fit through
the groove on the post.
