5 Description of Components
5.1 Optics
All readers are equipped with standard UV/Vis optics for top reading. For the Omega, there are different top
reading optics available for fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, luminescence, absorbance and
time-resolved fluorescence.
5.2 Installation and Changing of Optics
The Omega readers are equipped with quick-fix mountings (figure 7), allowing for the easy exchange of
optics and placement of position spacers (for more about spacers see 5.4). No tools are required for
changing the optics. Remove the optic from the positioning wheel (figure 8) by hand and turn the holders on
the measurement head frame to release the black mounting piece of the optic.
