FILTER SLIDER ASSEMBLY
(Figure 3)
Three lter slider assemblies are included with all EVOS microscopes. For
brighteld applications you MUST use the Pinhole or Diuser lter.
Due to variances in sample size, color and thickness, actual lter use may
dier from the standard lter use described below.
Pinhole filter slider assembly• : brightfield, low magnification (4x/10x)
Diffuser filter slider assembly
• : brightfield, high magnification
(10x/20x/40x)
Green filter slider assembly:
• may be used for phase-contrast at all
magnifications (optional)
Note: AMG strongly recommends NOT replacing or tampering with the lens
element as it may cause damage to the lter assembly.
Insert the
1. lter slider assembly

into the lter slider slot on the
condenser assembly.
Adjust focus, contrast, and/or illumination and view specimen on
2.
screen.
IMPORTANT!
Use a lter assembly for brighteld.
OBJECTIVE LENS ASSEMBLY (Figure 1 - PLAIN STAGE)
(Figure 2 - MECHANICAL STAGE)
The color-coded objectives match the color-coding label on the objective turret.
When properly installed, EVOS will “know” which objective is in place and adjust
the lighting and image capture parameters to suit.
Carefully remove the 1. circular stage plate

(PLAIN STAGE) or the
vessel holder

(MECHANICAL STAGE) from the stage assembly.
To prevent contamination to optical components, turn the
2. objective
select wheel

left 1/2 click, to move the objective turret

away
from the optical path, before removing and installing the objective.
Install the objectives into the corresponding positions in the
3. objective
turret located inside the stage assembly (see labels).
Note: Make sure the color coding on the objectives matches the color
coding label on the turret so the automatic settings will work.
Turn the
4. objective select wheel

to switch between objectives.
Please note that EVOS models AME-3201 and AME-3204 are congured for use
specically with the following objectives:
4x Phase Contrast, AMG part #AMEP-4602 (Olympus part #1U2C522P)
10x Phase Contrast, AMG part #AMEP-4603 (Olympus part #1U2C144P)
20x Phase Contrast, AMG part #AMEP-4604 (Olympus part #1U2C146P)
40x Phase Contrast, AMG part #AMEP-4605 (Olympus part #1U2C149P)
Use with any other objectives besides those listed above will void AMG’s warranty
support for your EVOS model AME 3201 or AME 3204 microscope.
